975 Countrymen : Hartsop Hall
First viewed : 4 March 1991
This short series on BBC Two focused on the lives of Lake District natives. The first in a series gave a half hour soapbox to Alan Wear, the farmer at Hartsop Hall, near Patterdale. Thus we were treated to a right wing diatribe against the National Park authorities, walkers, visitors and mankind in general. Wear wanted to give the impression of sturdy independence but he was in fact a tenant of the National Trust; talk about biting the hand that feeds you !
