quickdrawmcgraw 0 Posted October 19, 2008 Report Share Posted October 19, 2008 Just got messen 'Out of town' vols 1-9 on DVD. I remember watching this fella on tv as a kid.Some good tips for an up and coming young lad,always had a respect for this guy. Is he still with us,I doubt it because he must have been 70 odd when I were a nipper. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mackem 26,357 Posted October 19, 2008 Report Share Posted October 19, 2008 As a kid his programs were manna from heaven,very refreshing,he was like everyones favourite grandfather,and his shed was an aladdins cave Quote Link to post Share on other sites
quickdrawmcgraw 0 Posted October 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2008 Agree with that mate. He was biased towards fishing as I remember,sat in his little shed. The thing that sticks with me is how he used to describe in detail how and why it was done.Whether it be fishing,hunting or just general country ways. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mackem 26,357 Posted October 19, 2008 Report Share Posted October 19, 2008 He did indeed,always talked you through everything,he did slant towards angling but covered a multitude of other subjects including obscure subjects like ploughing furrows Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stubby 175 Posted October 19, 2008 Report Share Posted October 19, 2008 great old fellow, got me interested in countrylife as a kid growing up in town, luckerly had a grandfather very simular to him, envied his shed and the stuff in it, after picking up a volume of the dvd's, it inspired me to get a bigger shed Quote Link to post Share on other sites

lanesra 3,994 Posted October 19, 2008 Report Share Posted October 19, 2008 good read that mackem, out of town was the only thing that interested me on tv as a kid, he was a real character and his knowledge of country side and country pursuits was A1. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
