This was a brilliant show. !!!!! From my childhood days, the BEST !
A thousand times more informative than any modern school. ❤
Not quite.
Not sure how you would know this unless you're hanging around primary schools
@@octaviussludberry9016 that was cold
How do you know that, are you a teacher?
@@octaviussludberry9016haha
This was our Internet back in the day. We learned so much.
Anyone watching this program would come away feeling a bit more intelligent afterwards.
Now children’s TV dumbs it all down. Just like adults TV…
old man yells at cloud
Jack Hargreaves could talk about a stick for five minutes and it would be interesting.
That's because he was a con man.
@@byteme9718 how so?
@@markpage7196 You could start by checking his background. Of course, the other obvious giveaway, was the fact that if all his tales were true he'd have had to have lived about five lifetimes.
@@byteme9718 So like a politician.🤣
@@byteme9718 Like Boris Johnson, then?
When children’s TV was fun, intelligent and educated at the same time
well said
@@thebagfather4633Although “educational” would have been a little more correct!
There are plenty of educational programmes for kids on TV now. Stop being an arrogant Boomer thinking your generation was better.
@@JonathanHart-v3y 🤣🤣🤣
@@JonathanHart-v3yboo hoo angry little snowflake woke cry baby 😂🫵🤡
Oh wow I used to love this show. Together with the great egg race. When TV was educational as well as entertaining. Really shows up the inane crp that passes for shows today.
You should watch Heinz Wolff giving Sandi Toksvig hysterics on call my bluff. It warms your heart to remember such happy days !!
Man..I was 10 when this was on..used to love this programme..
I love 'how' Fred Dinage is dressed like Inspector Gadget.
A great program from a bygone era!
I used to love this as a little girl growing up. Jack Hargreaves later did a programme called 'Out Of Town' explaining about life and work in the country. These kind of shows need bringing back again. As do 'Take Hart' and 'Think Of A Number' with Johnny Ball (Zoe's dad!)
'Out of Town' with Jack Hargreaves can bee found on RUclips.
Another amazing programme of my younger years a time when you learnt something watching tv😊😊😊😊
Out of Town is being repeated on Talkign PIctures
Take Hart!!!! With Morph!!😂😂
Yes. "Out of town" came before "How" if I recall.
Such a gentle and charming show.
Made when folk had manners.
I loved HOW as a kid. Still enjoy it as a big kid.
loved this as a kid, it's mad, the beat of the theme tune came straight back to me, How?..🥺😂
Well that was a blast from the past wasn't it children. It must be 50 years since I've seen this show. Where did all that time go...........
Thanks so much for this!!!! Oh my life!! That music!!! I'm 58 and when I see videos like this I think "Really!!! I'm so old!!" 😂😂
Still fascinating, fresh and relevant. I used to avidly watch HOW after school, it was an ITV childrens television classic, within its golden age.
Imagine such a programme for children in 2024.....no, me neither.
What a gem!
Thanks for posting 👌
Awesome, and what memories. It was Fred Dineage, Bunty James and Jack Hargreaves for me. Proper fun and education all in one.
I learnt more from this show than I ever did at school , what great memories
Being of a scientific bent when I was a kid, I always liked Jon Miller's segments the best. HOW was a great programme, informative and entertaining.
not even 3 mins in and they have taught you 2 totally different things ....So glad I grew up with this type of stuff and 40yrs of David Attenborough , I'm a font of 'useless' knowledge
so true better stuff back then
Fount!
Used to love this show and Take Hart. Thank you.
I love the calm yet chaotic atmosphere of this show. Fred kept calm under pressure at the end. Thanks for uploading.
What a fantastic programme, I remember it with great fondness.
Watching Fred fail to make chocolate moose is one of the best things I've ever seen
This is more informative than most adult TV today.
remember this well great childrens tv . unlike todays rubbish
To be fair, you are probably too old fro childrens tv now.
@@stephen300o6 good point but it was better back then. your proberly be saying the same as me when your my age lolol dont be in a rush to get there enjoy what you have no as it soon goes
The charm and gentle wit was a bonus some of these ‘lessons’ were a perfect antidote to the long school day and a primer for later life and science experiments.
Thank you so much. Absolutely terrific.
How
This should have had a trigger message: "Warning - the following programme will leave you better informed than you were before you watched it!" I loved How, and always joined in with the panel's "How!" shouts. :-)
Someone send this to Talking Pictures TV (as their owners, Renown Pictures, own Southern TV’s archive)
Loved the theme tune.
it smacks of cultural appropriation and racial insensitivity
@@melissahealy1950 Twit.
@@melissahealy1950 ah but we took it for what it was and nobody was paid to be oaf-ended
Just stumbled across this. Sitting here with a big smile on my face. Happy memories
I remember this so well. Everyone in our family enjoyed this programme even though it was aimed at children.
I remember this as a kid..watching this made me laugh..how things have changed since this
Fantastic to see this programme again.
5:59 That small oblong Ever Ready brings back a taste memory, with sticking your tongue over the two connectors.
As an adult I learned that it was not the way to test a mains socket.
This would be classed as a hard hitting documentary these days.
Great upload - loving seeing these in good quality 🙂 Thank you
Loved that. Took me straight back to my childhood. They don’t make em like they used to! I also loved Jack Hargreaves’ own programme: Old Country.
I’ve carried the memory of that scale model as my mental image of a hydroelectric damn, ever since I watched this when it was first broadcast.
There's nothing more fun to a kid than seeing an adult messing up. Loved this show.
Excellent thanks
Superb theme music!
I loved this programme. They even showed how to make a small bomb with a tin can, piece of string and flour.
Educational. Interesting. Engaging and amusing. Programmes from an age long extinct!
Loved this programme , learnt so much watching this .
People: "Your childhood shows are lost media, they don't exist anywhere any more, and you're never going to see---"
Made in Maidstone: "Say no more!"
I literally remember watching this, or another similar programme doing the water bucket trick. Then trying it at home. It might have been this.
Can you imagine the outrage today about the title of the show and the theme tune. They would have to have trigger warnings
MY GOD !!!! i hadn't thought of looking for this on RUclips. HOW ? I don't know....
And Jack Hargreaves was a god....oh how I miss those simpler days 😢
Hargreaves was a complete fake.
His TV series is on utube
The Jack Hargreaves you remember is a complete fake.
@@byteme9718 if you are going to bad mouth someone at least have the decency to explain how and why.
@@AndrewDaley-lr9qg I'm just stating facts, why get so upset? Perhaps you should learn a little about his background.
I loved this program!!
mum told be about this tv show, not even 5 MINUTES IN and theyre already teaching me stuff right off the bat with no faff im amazed. Why cant we still have stuff like this??!
That Southern logo music got me right in the feels. Silly, innit. 😀
AWESOME, loved it when i was a kid
I loved this show, I learned so much from it. Does anyone have a clip of the original theme music?
Remember watching this when I was about 12......what totally amazed me is fred dianege looks hardly any different 40 years later. He does a very good murder / criminal show on a sky channel and honestly he doesn't look much different from his days on how.
Fred Dineage IS television.
I remember he used to fill in for Dickie Davies in World Of Sport.
Used to be one of my favourite progs.
Loved this programme
Loved this show.. watched it here in Dublin…
When tv was quality 🧐🇮🇪
Just read Jack Hargreaves Wikipedia... Fascinating. He was a major in the army.. Amongst other things.
One of the founders of the ITV network wasn't he?
I used to love watching How. The presenters were great but Jack Hargreaves was in a league of his own. His knowledge of the countryside was immense
I remember HOW from an earlier period with Bunty James ,always worth a watch 👍
Me too. Wretched isn’t it 😂
Ah yes Bunty! My sister used to have that comic
How refreshing ( no pun ) I had a smile though out the whole of the program Times I well remember
I grew up with that show and as most of us 70s kids will testify, had us glued to the screen and you certainly learnt some interesting stuff.
The one I remember as a kid was Fred asking "How can I smash Jacks watch?" He got Jack Hargreaves to give him his watch "First I wrap it in this hanky, then I take this mallet and I use it to hammer Jacks watch"-he opened the hanky to reveal a ruined watch-"And there it is, Jacks watch smashed to bits" Bunty said "But Fred, how are you going to put it back together ?" and Fred said "I'm not. The How was how can I smash Jacks watch, and here it is smashed to bits" We all just about died laughing-everyone at school the next day was still cracking up about it! Days gone for ever to be replaced by what ? They'd probably have to give trigger warnings and offer coucilling if they showed that now.
When tv was fun
Loved this when I was a kid. Fred Dinenage was bonkers.
Also I loved the music.
I’m pretty sure that title tune and greeting would go down as well as a Golden Shred advert nowadays. 😂😂😂
Gollywogs?
"How's the water go into the paper?" Well it doesn't does it Fred, it goes down the front of your Flasher Mac. Thank you to Fred Dinage for demonstrating the worlds most inefficient colostomy bag, Fred later to go on to a career writing books and presenting documentaries on gangsters and serial killers, which is what I call a change of direction. I loved 'How' as a kid, but then I also loved 'Origami' and 'The Galloping Gourmet', so I don't know what that says. 🤔😂
Galloping gourmet with Graham kerr 👍 if my memory serves me right.
Dinenage is a legend!
Yeah, unlike his Daughter
@@eddieday-reilly5144 🤣🤣🤣
That likes to hit women?
@@eddieday-reilly5144 what's the story there then?
@@darganx she's behind this Online Censorship thing that we're being subjected too since last year. Deciding what is or is not mis/dis or Malinformation. Her husband is a high ranking ( or was) Officer in the 77th Brigade
Fred is a absolute lovely guy, no pretentions just a decent guy. Brother loved this programme especially the original with John and Bunty, more educational than tic tok
Loved that show as a kid
Priceless, never missed one .
loved this show
In all lightleyhood this was the most educational program on tv before the creation of you tube .
Have you anymore How episodes please...
Loved watching these shows as a kid, fun, entertaining and educational....kids TV back then was well balanced with cartoons, How, Grange Hill, Blue Peter (pre 1980) .....shows that didn't insult the intelligence of their audience
Another show I liked as a kid was "Out of Town" Jack Hargreaves
Oh what great memories this stirs. I always thought the theme music to be slightly unnerving!
RIP Jack Hargreaves & Jon Miller.
Both were fakes. Just TV presenters with no background in their supposed expertise.
Jack lived in our area and would often be seen in my village local
Until now I didn't realise that there was an original series of How - I grew up with How 2 in the 90s (still with Fred, with added Vorderman and co.), and it never occurred to me that it was called that because it was the second iteration of the programme!
We should have these educational programs on now
Oh... that theme music.... really takes me back!
You know you're watching a great classic when the title/end music is just as famous as the programme itself. I just can't stop playing that amazing vibe. A close resemblance is "Electric Pow Wow Drum" by "The Halluci Nation"
I used to watch How 2. It had this guy with the glasses, Carol Vorderman and some other young chap. I had no idea it was the sequel to an earlier show.
Nothing even like it for kids today
Jon Miller’s death was ultimately caused by complications related to polio. Despite his contributions to the television industry, his life was impacted by the lasting effects of this debilitating disease.
Loved this show ..
Jack was instrumental in the creation of channel 4.
And Southern TV itself!
I still have the How! Book….
The irony of unfurling a union jack and shouting I'm free 😂
Yes, that wasn't lost on me either.😢
This certainly took me back. I am shocked it's from 1980, I'd have thought it was an earlier episode. They all seemed far older to me when I was in my childhood. Now I think, how young they were...
Heroes like Jack
I'm 36 I discovered Jack recently on RUclips he was brilliant!
loved it!
Thank u that was nice program I miss it
Take a visit to the Snowdonia power generator, you can goi inside the mountain and see it in use, covers peak use in the country, amazing well worth a tour.
Gen X American here. Wish I knew about this growing up. So informative in a short time. Yes, from current perspective, theme music not good, but can't beat the information given out. Subscribed cuz I want to learn more!
Brilliant
I liked the woman and the guy with the glasses best ,i think they were the most engaging and smilled alot also added a lot of fun into the programme
