Out of Town with Jack Hargreaves, an interview with Simon Baddeley, 2 of 4
In this episode we discover how Jack got into TV and honed his presenting skills to develop his famously warm, natural and intimate way of presenting. Simon explains how Jack created Out of Town, the TV series that ran throughout the sixties and seventies, only coming to an end in 1981 when Southern Television lost their franchise. He speaks about Jack’s perspectives on fishing and the importance of patience when being outdoors, also about the art of contemplation, of deliberately taking one’s time to savour things and reflect upon them – both of which are central to the character of Jack’s TV programmes and broadcasts.
The Contented Countryman
It's about nature connection, wildlife, rural lifestyle, the quest for freedom and adventure, reflection and contentment, and how the 'truly great' outdoors helps to shape our identity and passions.
It's your opportunity to take time out from the stresses of modern life, to stop the wheels for a while, unplug from the daily grind, escape to an idyllic and peaceful place, and enjoy the natural world.
