Penelope Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 Ah, but only those entertainments and leisure activities that have the Beeb's stamp of PC approval. There are plenty of town and city dwellers that take part British rich tapestry of field sports. Did anyone see the fantastic wildlife programme about France? Funny how the Beeb are happy to show, and extol the virtues and cultural history of Stag hunting in Fontainebleau Forest but deride it here.

islandgun Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 If they did bring Out Of Town back they would no doubt have a right plank like Bill Oddie or Brian May introducing it, and no doubt another yound attractive young blonde like Ellie for the PW masses to lust over and keep the viewing rating going! yes I'm sure they would find a way to trivialize it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bruno22rf Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 Every Sunday the urban masses spend hours painting mud on their freeloader wheel arches before popping on their patterned Hunters and sitting down for a taste of fresh air. Watching Adams pet farm where nothing ever dies or gets hurt is a shot of joy to all as everybody soaks up a little heritage and learns how the "real" people of the countryside spend their days playing Aunt Sally before meeting in huge village groups to quaff scrumpy in terracotta mugs that their Ancestors knitted. Its all good fun and depicts the world as the public want to see it . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny how the Beeb are happy to show, and extol the virtues and cultural history of Stag hunting in Fontainebleau Forest but deride it here. Now how are the Beeb going to continue to spend all of the licence tax that they receive if they aren't taking a small army to France for a jolly to film something they could here. If you compare the TV licensing system to the car industry you would still have to pay a fee to Benz regardless of the vehicle you drive! Just another government influenced organisation willing to tow whatever party line is en vogue, they trivialise the important and promote the irrelevant.

TriBsa Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 youd never find another Jack Hargreaves Yes, as a kid I wished he was my grandad. He had more true feeling and respect for the countryside and it's ways than all of todays PC "on message" presenters put together.
