    Loved watching Jack on old country and How. Quality programming. Sadly missed.

    I think I remember JH from a children's tv programme in the 60s, called, I think, How?
    I thought this film would probably not catch my interest, but it really did.

    As a young man I grew up watching this charming man. A true gent, a true patriot.

      For years now I've been, with expert enthusiasm and resources, working to ensure the survival of my stepfather's legacy - his broadcasts and his books. Jack survives in print, on a large repertoire of DVDs and solid state storage, on 16mm reverse-negative film securely stored, and in the cloud.

    ‘Medlar mush’ tastes good, a bit like fruity peanut butter.

      Could question. My stepdad said that what vexed him about dying was not being able to satisfy his insatiable curiosity as to "what happened". You can get some idea of what he expected from these lines that JH wrote in the year he died ... thetuesdayswim.com/2012/01/15/an-un-earthered-poem-by-jack-hargreaves/

      Im not disgusted. England is still lovely for the most part. You just have to get out there and wander, as I do.

    • @SimonBaddeley
      @SimonBaddeley  Місяць тому +1

      Perhaps you have, and didn't know. But Jack's 'Ghost' was entirely real. It's that in the dusk, in the meadow where she grazed she could walk up to you like a grey phantom.

    ghost is probably a ghost by now😢 someone overdid it with the coconut halves.

    • @SimonBaddeley
      @SimonBaddeley  Місяць тому +13

      Ghost is indeed, gone but her foal lives on into old age. The sounds on Out of Town are all library sounds edited by Dave Knowles - no coconuts. Dave's a perfectionist! Stan, Jack's long term cameraman on OOT, always filmed mute.
