Found the whole series of the Out of Town programs on C D about 18 months ago on Ebay and bought them so that I could watch them again at anytime when other viewing is rubbish. Think it would be a good idea if some bright TV executive would decide to rerun all of Jacks programs :thumbup: , would make a lot better viewing than most of the dull rubbish that is being scheduled these days. There are 9 CDs with 5 to 6 of the separate programs on each of the CDs, not sure if there might be a few more available as well. Can lend if anyone is interested in paying postage ?
I will post a list of all the individual programs just out of interest.
Thanks Phil.

1.Appleby Fair/Ramming Time, New Forest Point to Point/Apple Grafting and Kingfishers/Model Carts
2.Sheep Shearing/Sea Bream, Sweetheart Story/Tyring a Cart and Farm Sale/Fishing in a Gale/Forest Fire
3.Market Day/Minnow Trap/Lobster Boat, Iron Ponds/Lobster Breeding and Romney Marsh/Pumpkins.
4.Lambing/Mayfly, Mole Catcher/High School Horse and Rake Maker/Stage Coach.
5.Bee-Skips/Pheasant Shooting, Tidal Mill/Ice Fishing and Fly Casting/The Log Splitter.
6.The Hidden Stream/Deer Shoot, the Shooting Master and British Finches/Yerro's Operation.
7.Stour River, Hacienda/Bullfight and House Building/Trout and Grayling.
8.Freeze Branding/Cider Making, Trammel Nets/The Coach Builder and Big Skate/Pannage.
9.Cod Fishing/Centenarian Angler, Charcoal Burners/Pigeon Shooting and Long Distance Ride.

There is a Volume 10 CD as well and Eric Robson and his sheepdog Raq have taken Jacks place in 4 or 5 newer CDs

:thumbup: I'd be early twenties then. And the proud owner of some shotgun I can't remember the make of, several air rifles, a new Bultaco Sherpa, a series one Land Rover and best of all, my brand new class one HGV licence :thumbup:

Ah, the good old days, worked at Freight liner, part of British Rail, loads of money for doing nothing :thumbup:

I think it may well have been a bit before that.
I remember watching it with my dad.
But in 1973 I would have been twenty..
So I would think about 1965-68??

1973
Blonde hair to shoulders, Triumph Bonneville, single,
And to put the icing on the cake...

I was a milkman....

With a bedsit all to myself!

Oh so much joy :P
