For sometime I thought this was the broadcast that went out on the day my stepfather died. I'm grateful to Ian Wegg for pointing out in a blog comment on 10 July 2010 that this broadcast was not JH's last which I have yet to hear and see. The broadcast aired on the day JH died - 15 March 1994 - was an episode of “Southern Gold” on Meridian, which Ian describes as a nostalgia series introduced by Fred Dinenage. "This episode" he writes "was dedicated to Jack and in it he made one last mini  'Out of Town' episode." Many thanks Ian. 

This is the soundtrack of Jack Hargreaves last 'Out of Town' broadcast made sometime in 1981. It's strange, or perhaps not, that the lack of a picture seems to make J's words more independent of their time, allowing me to imagine what he's observing, as in an unillustrated book. Distant sounds enter the background briefly. If the film was made in his usual way, it would have been filmed mute. A soundtrack appropriate to the film would be added in the studio and J would then record a commentary that would be spliced into the broadcast programme. He would not have been talking as the film was made, but sitting or standing beside his cameraman - Stan Bréhaut (Bray-o) - who'd been the other half of nearly all his programmes for Southern TV over 30 years. He filmed with an ARRI camera without sound and never used a tripod &lt;http://www.fascinate-project.com/?page_id=275&amp;gt;

At the end of this track JH says 'cheerio' and opens a bottle of beer. This can be seen on 'One more out of Town' on http://vimeo.com/13408662 at 01.50

Critical Social Justice operates like a virus. I’ve said it about them; they say it about themselves; we’re all in agreement. It infects liberal institutions and liberal-minded people (philosophically speaking, whether on the left, right, or center), perverts “critical” as in “critical thinking” into “critical” as in “critical theory,” which means something completely different. It then turns those institutions and individuals into woke cells that produce more Critical Social Justice and spread it to others, hollowing out the institutions and organizations it infects as it goes.
