Synopsis
This new book explores the complex character of Jack Hargreaves, TV presenter and most unlikely of cult figures. Jack's presence in front of the camera exuded an old fashioned warmth, a grandfather passing down to the next generation country wisdom and lore. Jack presented a way of life that was rapidly disappearing and his television series, "Out of Town", punctuated tea time for millions of families with thirty minutes of tranquillity every week. This is an affectionate, but honest account of Jack, his loves, his children and the important influences that made him not only the 'patron Saint of Sheds' and several times winner of 'Pipe Smoker of the Year,' but everyone's window into a country world that had all but vanished.
