Anything with Jack Hargreaves presenting it. If your too young to remember Jack, he eventually ended up presenting yer country file type of programmes. Normally with a set that looked like the inside of a potting shed, Jack would rustle up a Mole mince and wild Radish stew whilst fly fishing for trout and checking to see if the wild Badgers on the estate were flourishing...think he did that by regularly checking their temperatures and charting it useing old methods such as tapeing the thermometer to their nose and spreading honey on their arse, it was a bit hit and miss but eventually they would insert it themselves allowing Jack time to fix the wheel of a broken cart, although I mighta made that up dunno .
Jack had the sort of voice that was just right for the subject, it kinda meandered through the script, a bit like a river, seemed lazy, but you knew it had a purpose and was going somewhere, it was a voice you believed had done all of the things he was presenting long before showing them on the telly. I liked Jack.

... and so did I Sir!

He was wonderful, and the programmes he presented were gentle, informative and entertaining as a consequence.
(A rare thing these days were it seems all have to running around in an over-excited manner... gurning maniacly whilst shouting with false enthusiasm over a top-pop backing track, dreadfull)

Well if you guys are resurrecting Jack Hargreaves, can I start my own campaign for Fred Dibnah?
I used to love his programmes - not girly in the slightest, but fascinating... and I used to watch them with my Dad and learn stuff. He was ace.
he especially liked big shiney pumps if I remember correctly.
Victorian in style, so big side whiskers and top hats too... unless I've got the wrong image here?

The Dukes of Hazard - the original, not the movie remake.
Although I didn't have a clue at that age what 3sums were, I think somehow Bo & Luke got into my subconcious and still make it into my fantasies these days.
Oh - and me and my sis used to put shorts on over tights with our sandals and run about the garden pretending to be Daisy Duke!!!!
Scar xxxx

I can totally picture lindsay lohan in a daisy duke outfit.
other than that...give me 'Allo 'Allo and blackadder reruns any time of the day..
Stingray (anything can happen in the next 1/2 hour), Thunderbirds (Yes me lady) Captain Scarlet (Destiny Angel)
