Great bloke. The late John Braybon directed some of the Out of Town series and he played clarinet in my dads band and he also was involved with Open University programmes.Tug and glider pilot too.Used to buy tackle from Dave Swallows shop in Moordown where Jack also shopped. Heard stories about maggots in his car!! : ) Respect.
I'm in Wales and me and my mates all loved Jack on TV, he sounded like he thought he was only known in England! he was well loved all over the UK and other English speaking parts of the world, a true legend.
He did live in the New Forest for a while, but retired to the place in the interview. In the late 40s he was moving between a London home and a caravan in a field on the bank of the River Kennet at Midgham, then a cottage in Bagnor in Berkshire by the Winterbourne running into the River Lambourn, then at Lower Pennington and Walhampton near Lymington as well as at Minstead and East Boldre in The New Forest, and he spent his final years at Raven Cottage, near Belchalwell in Dorset.
Nothing staggering about it, its called common sense. What is staggering is the number of idiots without common sense, especially now in this generation of 2019.
Watched Out of Town as a kid he taught me how 2 fish fresh and saltwater shame nothing on t v like Jack instead of the plonkers on tv today maybe u do in uk but in AUS thay r plonkres only do it 4 the money
I watched the first HOW and met Jack Harhgreaves through the media of tv. One of the best things ever, all of his programmes were informative but fun, but you must listen very carefully to everything he says. I learnt lessons that i have carried with me for life, from, HOW : TOWN & COUNTRY : OUT OF TOWN and the one that got lost and wiped was COUNTRY BOY. Marvellous stuff and through the media of vhs, dvd and programmes like this make sure we won't forget him either.
Oh my God, I remember watching this lovely gentleman on HOW in the 1970,s, I wish I lived on such a fantastic peaceful location, although Iam a Vegitarian, I love the rural life.
Realism that was his charm, presenters today constantly smiling and laughing at absolutely nothing drives me crazy, Jack was a treasure sadly missed even now
Jack comes across more jocular than I'd expected, perhaps trying to ease the overly serious and slightly condescending interviewer. What I wouldn't give to spend a day in that shed though! Preferably with the old bloke explaining his treasure and artefacts.
How was Jack so at ease in front of the camera? He didn't start at 50, he was in radio before the war and although he was commissioned into the Tank Regiment, the army made use of him to set up Forces Radio.
Intrigued to see Bruce Hocking interviewing Jack, I would have thought that HTV west wouldn’t have jack in their patch but guessed it must have just been inside. Both now long gone.
I have to admit this fellow started my countryside passion I started fishing and shooting at 6 and a keeper at 16 forty years later I still am a working countryman! I met Jack and he was a Grumpy old fella a fair bit but knew his stuff!
To think I’m still a great fan of Jack and always be be, as a very young kid playing outside kicking an old leather football with my friend would stop. Jacks on tv . That was a long time ago, what a great natural man he was, rest in peace Jack your still alive mate,
I know what he is facing with clay. I was raised on clay, permeant red marks from wearing wellies all the the time. Lost a few, still stuck in the mud somewhere in Hertfordshire!
watching this was bitter sweet,he taught me to fish from a young age my hero now realise he wasent a keen angler kinda wiped my dream out,still love fishing but not JACK,,
Yes this is the England I love and remember well. Not so sure about this place now.
We’re done. This England has gone.
Jack made country life interesting to people of all ages and all kinds backgrounds. He was a true rural gentleman.
Many a man browned their first hat on Jacks hot ring.
Jack was a true gentleman very pleased he was part of my upbringing miss him.
Always loved Out of Town, it was the highlight of the week for me. Used to watch it on Southern TV. Miss you Jack
Loved this guy, a rare treasure, shame he's gone. :(
Long before recycling was hip, Jack was at it. A man of Vision. Thanks for the memories. 👏👏👏
That amazing voice was such a fixture of my young life. He instilled a love of the country that is still there.

The first and best reality TV.
one of my cherished childhood memories of being at home with family and Out of town on TV
I'm in Wales and me and my mates all loved Jack on TV, he sounded like he thought he was only known in England! he was well loved all over the UK and other English speaking parts of the world, a true legend.
he used to go night fishing and would let us brown our hats on his hot ring. Those were the days.
Jack, what a gentleman. I would have given a lot just to shake his hand and say thank you.
He was a local around these parts. Often in one of two pubs. Could be a bit of a grumpy bugger!
@@PSUK Yes, I always thought he would be
He did live in the New Forest for a while, but retired to the place in the interview.

Jack was a one off we will never get another one like him ever again
I knew some old countrymen like Jack, when I was a kid, their skills and knowledge were staggering.
Nothing staggering about it, its called common sense. What is staggering is the number of idiots without common sense, especially now in this generation of 2019.
Men like this have all gone now, what a pity
I used to watch out of town when was a kid fantastic programme
A great English gentleman 💙
Sad that television is all reality junk nowadays
Jack Hargreaves. A unassuming legend.!.
Wonderful man.
Watched Out of Town as a kid he taught me how 2 fish fresh and saltwater shame nothing on t v like Jack instead of the plonkers on tv today maybe u do in uk but in AUS thay r plonkres only do it 4 the money
Why send a souless robot to interview this fine gentleman....? 👎
The presenter needs to relax!!Great vid cheers
The bloke doing the interview must have been in pain look at his face for Gods sake...
Filmed on a single set up with the presenter stuff done out of order - old style- but always looks odd
Bruce?
Shockingly bad questions!

Jacks lungs are still being used as tar pits, and produce up to 2000 barrels of crude per year.
Pipe smoker don't inhale
What an awful interviewer
You Tube came too late for this man. Many are now attempting to fill his boots, few come close.
Crikey that interviewer is the biggest flop ever.
Realism that was his charm, presenters today constantly smiling and laughing at absolutely nothing drives me crazy, Jack was a treasure sadly missed even now

when you find a job you love, youll never need to work again

the nations favorite grandad
I reckon he must have been at least half Cornish …
I wonder what Jack would make of Chris Packham.
Top man sadly mist ❤😊❤😊R.I.P Xxx
A brilliant man, but such stupid questions.
Why was it so successful? Because of his enthusiasm.
The wisdom of this man is off the scale...
8:25 Tobacco disappears from a pipe
The way he lights his pipe ... the taste of sulphur !

Both now long gone.
Old Jack. A dear man.
Ditto my comment in part 1
Grew up watching Jack presenting Out of Town loved watching it back then as i do now .
happy days...
"I'm busy becoming unknown"

I've loved watching some of these old programmes from the 70s.
Love this, happy memories of watching Jack.
I know what he is facing with clay. I was raised on clay, permeant red marks from wearing wellies all the the time. Lost a few, still stuck in the mud somewhere in Hertfordshire!
Always with his Falcon pipe. Brilliant.
This is real treat * Thank you for sharing
Great guy!
