At a car boot sale this morning,i came across an old fishing video.
This tape contains four 15min episodes of an old series called "Anglers corner",which is narrated by and stars a youngish Bernard vennables.
The four episodes are entitled Bream,Tench,Roach,Chub and each one contains under water footage of the said species (to be honest i think the fish filmed are in aquariums of some description),a brief look at tackle used to catch them and then we see a guest type angler fishing for one.Bernard narrates to us about groundbaiting,habitat,feeding habits and behaviour etc....
When i sat there watching the video and was listening to Bernards commentary,i felt like i was being taken back to a time when fishing seemed like a real pleasure,more relaxing and less pressurised...not like the real hussle and bussle i think fishing has become today.
According to the notes on the video case,the programmes were made for bbc2 in 1968 and i`m guessing this was the first real programme for anglers??? and i presume there must have been more episodes,covering other species of fish???
The video case,cover and the tape it`self are in good condition...picture and sound quality are good.
I am guessing this must be a real collectors gem???
Have any of you folk out there got any memories of this series of programmes???
