For over 20 years Out of Town was a television programme that provided a window on country life in rural Britain.
Fishermen and farriers, horsemen and horticulturalists were prominently featured as presenter Jack Hargreaves took the Southern Television cameras around the country, in the 1960s, 70s and early 80s, to explore pursuits and activities many of which have long since disappeared.
When broadcast by ITV, these programmes soon won a large following for the entertaining and informative way that they gave a gentle insight into country life, but as time has passed since the last transmission in 1981 they have become a nostalgic, historical, record of life in Britain from a bygone age.
This collection of ten DVDs features 34 episodes of Out of Town as they were originally broadcast in the early 1980s. These episodes were feared lost but, thanks to the work of dedicated archivists and classic TV enthusiasts, were recently recovered and are released on DVD for the first time. Each disc includes a special feature which allows the viewer to enjoy off-air studio comments, idents, endcaps and countdown clocks.
This limited edition collectors' box set, features 34 previously unreleased episodes on ten DVDs in an engraved presentation box with an exclusive booklet. The booklet offers an insight into Jack's life and how the lost episodes were discovered, and includes charming photos of Jack whilst filming on location.
