Following on from the hugely popular Out of Town, Old Country saw Jack Hargreaves continue his exploration of rural life in Thomas Hardy country - reflecting on its character, traditions, history and folklore, and the skills that had passed on from generation to generation.

With his extensive experience, knowledge and love of the countryside, Jack Hargreaves' easy going presentation style enthralled both rural and urban viewers alike, making this series for television.

Unseen since its Channel 4 broadcast in the 1980's, Old Country contained all new material and the only time that Jack Hargreaves' work received a countrywide network screening.
