- NEW FILM: 'Mr. Passion For Angling' - An interview with Hugh Miles.
For many anglers, the adventures of Chris Yates and Bob James in the 1993 classic 'A Passion For Angling' encapsulate the very essence of our beautiful and diverse angling pastime. In this feature length interview, get behind the scenes and meet the globe-trotting, award-winning wildlife filmmaker who brought this iconic vision to life, along with other notable angling classics such as 'Catching The Impossible’.
Oh God! How wonderful. Passion for Angling changed all our lives for the better.
Wonderful insight about Hugh and his fabulous career as a camera man. True dedication and fearlessness are required to reach the summit of his profession. Loved his recollection of the Puma getting up close and too personal with him.
Just came across this wonderful interview , next stop catching the impossible
A joy to watch and hear Hugh describe the making of the many wildlife films I grew up watching. May he enjoy his retirement and catch a roach of his dreams.
The most fascinating man I could listen to these stories for hours
What about Danny Fairbrass ?
What a life and what stories.... Thankyou for this!!! And thankyou Hugh ❤️
What a wonderful film, top effort all involved, to the 2 people who have missclicked on the thumb down button, have a long hard look at yourselves and rethink your decision. No-one has fuelled more people into spending time chasing a dream than Hugh and his films.
I have now passed my passion for angling to my grandsons and l love watching them to see them as they love the great outdoors and the thrill of the catch and release of fish 🎣 Thank you for your filmmaking 🎥 it is a work of art and l watch it over and over !
Sublime. Was on my way to do one of my mundane daily chores, then came across this. Mesmorised with the interview, then my Mrs caught me, end of my childhood escapism . Seriously thought about getting rid of her, but I don't look as good as I once did, so on balance, had to wait till she had gone to bed, then replayed it again, with the volume turned down !.
unionjakjakson we men shouldn’t live this way do what makes you happy but what makes them happy all the time in sick of it it’s like our lives me nothing
Hugh is forever woven into the fabric of fishing, and always manages to capture the exact essence of what angling means to us. A true genius behind the lens and a true humble gent in front of it!
Great video.thank you Hugh Miles for the best fishing programme ever!!👍
A passion for angling and catching the impossible are quite possibly the best fishing series made. Well done to all involved and thank you so much for making them
What a brilliant interview video. Martin Bowler .Hugh Miles. even the magnamanus John Wilson got a mention Absolutely brilliant, Highly recommended viewing,
John was and is, Martin's uncle.
@@beanybap I know what a fisherman in my opinion John was the modern day Mr crabtree, He inspired plenty of people to get out on the water,
@@davidhodgson3565 yes David, the magic of the Crabtree illustrations inspired me to explore the hidden world that he portrayed as a youngster. John Wilson not only brought that to life with his programmes but his infectious enthusiasm which was evidenced by his wonderful laugh encouraged generations of Anglers to that magic.
Beautiful. Hugh's voice is as special as his films.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.....this is excellent.
What an inspiration to anyone. Thank you Hugh for sharing those moments with us in all your films. Its not very often you get a fishing program that captures your Heart but "A Passion For Angling" certainly did when I was a Boy and carries on till this day. Hope you get your 4jb Roach . Tight Lines.
What a brilliant video and amazing lives martin and Hugh have had
What a wonderful interview
Truly captivating, I could listen for hours. Such amazing stories especially the wildlife filming. LEGEND is banded around far too often, but Hugh Miles certainly deserves to be called this.🤩
lovely interview of Hugh by Martin. Will try to find some of his non-angling work to binge on as have loved watching Passion for Angling and Catching the Impossible.
What a wonderful video. Passion for Angling and Catching the impossible are classics which I watch continually throughout the year. Thank you Martin, Hugh and Drennan, you did good with this
Thank you. I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of that.
What a fantastic insight into Hughs filming career, totally amazing, and of course the legend Martin Bowler he’s just got it ...and he draws you right in to a story with every word spoken ...thank you 👏👏
what a marvellous interview with a fantastic man. thank you for making that Drennan & Martin Bowler. well worth watching.
Best fishing programmes ever made. Brings back some great memories of my childhood. Just wish fishing could be more like it was back then.
Mesmerising interview with a fascinating man. Thanks, Hugh.
The best fishing programme ever, “ a passion for angling “,.
When I find the time away from filming at theme parks I am going to film some fish, Hugh and his films inspired me to ever want to pick up a video camera some 30 years ago. An absolute legend as is Mr Yates, Mr James and Mr Bowler, may the wind always be at your backs and the sun on your faces. Am always available for a Gudgeon match and have actually landed two beautiful commons from Redmire Pool myself. None of it would happened without this man...thank you for making and posting this video. Quality.
Fascinating interview with a film making legend.
Simply the best hour of my life watching this ! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

As a kid watching
Passion for angling it made me realise there’s so much more to fishing than just catching fish..

Thank you sir Hugh for the two greatest angling series ever made! Still own a passion on VHS just can't get rid of it! Perhaps I should stop being a tight git and buy the DVD
Absolutely top drawer. Lovely, lovely, lovely film. Thank you Drennan.
First-class! 👍👍
I've seen all the films multiple times! I was 15 when I saw Passion for Angling and so deeply captivated me! Nice to learn a bit more about the genius behind those ground breaking fishing series! Thank you :)
Great interview. I'm desperate to watch this again, I hope the BBC broadcast it again at some point - maybe a remastered HD version? Wishful thinking
Real strength superb interview beautiful stories. And real angling legends to boot👍🎣❤
What a great interview. What TH-cam is meant for!!
Great film. What a lovely man.
Pure class.Cheers.
Lovely interview with true talented gentleman
Incredible.
This chaps had the job of my dreams , just purchased the peregrine book herd it mentioned a few times now . Top vid 👌
i’m 50 and i can’t think of 1 person of my early vintage that has and was not moulded be the BBC wildlife series with DA and everyone else and being so much the richer for it 😁👍,for me though A Passion For Angling and Go Fishing were by far the best/most watched nature programs of my youth,with Hugh’s 😳 underwater filming + the characters 😂 IE chris/John/Bob/Martin etc etc,happy days !,i wish we still had programs of that nature now!,but just to be able to relive them is a good compensator 🙂👍,Congratulations Hugh on an outstanding wildlife 🎥 career🙂.
PS my life is totally run/defined by music 😁 and jennie’s music is perfection and i’m sure she would have done CTI in a second for free,quite aptly though i suppose it’s another beautiful part of the whole story🙂.
One of the best interviews ever, a fabulous man, shame Martin was asking the questions, just kidding Martin!
Amazing
Truly fabulous 👌
Really interesting interview, thanks for sharing. Mike
Hello! I am from Chile and I would like to say that your documentary about the puma Penny shook me too much. I felt very nostalgic, it conveys many emotions. I'd love to know what happened to Penny.
очень воодушевляли эти фильмы на рыбалку, спасибо вам большой за вашу работу.
What a great great story
Great interview. Only sorry they didn't say more about 'Tom's river' which is a favourite of mine.
Fantastic
Wow I didn’t realise that Maurice Miles, my conducting professor at the RAM, was Hugh’s father!
Wonderful!
Beautiful video an amazing man
Thank you 🙏🏼👌🏻
Mega! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
True legend
Made my Saturday night watching this! A living legend. Does anyone know where I can get a print of the amazing resting tiger photo Hugh has framed?
Very good
does anyone know where I can watch all the original episodes or even buy them on dvd? searched everywhere, they used to be on TH-cam but I cannot find them.
They should b on youtube
Hugh looking better than the rest of the passion gang.
Megga stuff 👏
Who said asmr was New a joy too listen to 🐠
I wonder if Ten Rod Nige is the Nigel that immediately comes to mind.
He likes the Sound of his own voice what a big head
What u guy. Never new anything else about him apart from the fishing programme.
£240k of he’s own money back in the late 80s. I bet it was a massively stressful time thinking they’d lost that negative! 😅
Fantastic
