Yep, I watch them regularly*. If you search his name you'll find Dave Knowles film maker who I assume has the rights to the JH films. He's been uploading them every few weeks for I think well over a year, a great watch if you like that sort of thing and there's quite a lot of history in there I had no idea about.

Edit, mostly Old Country etc.

Loved Jack when I was a kid. I have in my head an episode with him cooking a pike but not since found it. Will have to look again while in the rain this week.

I used to run home from primary school at lunch times to watch Out of Town, hoping there'd be a bit of angling on.
I can clearly remember him using a Zebco closed face reel on at least one show.

The Fast Shows Bob Flemming was based on JH

Never knew that but it makes sense

Just read a bit of his bio, never realised he was such a top shagger

Childhood memories... very mellow series.

There's a programme where he discusses fishing rod types, how he carried one of them as a soldier in WW2, how he got it and if it came back, good story
