1970s series restored for love of outdoors

THE celebrated Out of Town series by renowned nature broadcaster Jack Hargreaves has been remastered and refreshed to create a new series Further Out of Town.

Compiled from restored footage from the original series, which originally aired back in the 1970s. The new series includes filmed interlinks with Jacks’ stepson, Simon Baddeley, creating six new episodes.

Simon was keen to continue his stepfather's legacy, inspire viewers to appreciate the countryside and engross themselves in the natural world.

The new episodes take place at various locations, such as the New Forest, Brownsea Island, off the coast of Brighton and Andalusia in Spain.

All outdoor activities are covered - including fishing!

The series is available to purchase on DVD or stream via Amazon Prime
