Guest greengrass123 Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 Reading sporting agents post about who brought the countryside to the masses seems jack hargreaves is top man.I personally thought the guy was brilliant with his laid back style. Bought all 9 dvds of out of town for 45quid on ebay stillgreat viewing although a bit dated unfortunately one episode i remember about a ferreting trip on the south downs is not included. In this episode they had a russel whippet cross called young jack which was brilliant, has anyone got this episode on vid pre dvd days. Lent one or two of these out now got a waiting list of borrowers and these arent really country orientated people get comments like why dont they make programes like that anymore ? why indeed Quote Link to post Share on other sites
