It was a brilliant series. I'd love Hugh Miles and Terry hearn to do a project like that.
Martins seeking shadows was good too
I'll take the p out of most of the modern shouty ravey carp shows but that first nash film oli and Alan did was brilliant, was it urban banx? It really raised the bar for carpy videos

Try all they may, no one will ever be able to remake that magic of the original passion for angling. Not for me anyway.
When I was a kid, I won a local match which was at the time P.F.A. kindly sponsored and Bob James was there all day with the kids helping us with our fishing. For my prize, I got a P.F.A book personally signed there and then by Bob.
25+ years on still got the book and still quite proud of it. Just a bit gutted it wasn't Chris who signed the book instead!

I am 37 and remember watching the series when it was first aired - so watching it brings back memories of not just the programmes themselves but of that era, the family home for instance.
If carp fishing is still around in thirty years' time then another 37 year old may get as misty eyed when rewatching the Urban/Euro Banx series as some of us are when we revisit A Passion for Angling.
It's not about one era, technique etc. being better than another. Both series I've mentioned capture a moment in time - the equipment used, the vehicles, the technology - things that provide a reference point to look back on and see how society and has evolved and changed.

I did tbh but have forgotten after all these years, but was my neck of the woods, Dorset or South Wiltshire I think. I do remember a friend managing to get some info, but I think the view was they were over exaggerating weights, and the fish were nowhere near as big as discussed. Long time ago tho.
In terms of the 30lb mirror caught, that wasn't from there....

Shaftsbury Estate,Dorset.
It's finished now after the fish were lost in a flood via an emergency sluice being opened, Fat Lady was caught in Hampshire. 'Harry' was never caught, Arnie was at high 30's.

Me too, I can watch them day in day out, just magical- fishing for the pleasure of it, nothing fancy, nice and basic.
~ Tel and Martin Bowler, do try their best to install the same magic in their recent exploits.
