Rick, when you read this, you are on the clock for a review buddy !

Posts: 3 02/21/2008 13:57	With a big sigh of relief I can finally say that we took delivery of our first pressing of the NTSC DVDs of "The Lost World of Mr Hardy" at Trufflepig HQ this afternoon. This is the long overdue and long awaited version for use in North America. The 1st few copies were immediately posted off to customers in Canada and the U.S. this afternoon and I look forward to hearing people comments. Heike my directing partner also insisted in sending off a copy to Prince Charles too as there is a great anecdote about him in the film. I'll let you know what he thinks of the film too if we get a reply. thanks Andy Our website is being revamped too and is worth checking out in a week or so when we will have a new trailer up for the film.

"Only the best is good enough for fishermen" ... and though it was fishing tackle that John James Hardy Jr. had in mind when he uttered that line near the end of the 19th century, after viewing this documentary one might surmise that J.J.'s words are indeed prophetic, as they have come to embrace the efforts of Heathcote and Bachelier and their film, The Lost World of Mr. Hardy. Though The Lost World could stand alone on the anecdotes of former Hardys directors and employees or perhaps even composer, Stephen Daltrys' music, particularly intriguing is the way the filmmakers chose to incorporate present-day rod and reel makers, Edward Barder and Chris Lythe ... their inclusion brings the film full-circle and thus fulfills Andy Heathcote's desire that we "Be inspired by a poignant reflection of the world we live in and the myriad ways it has changed over 130 years." As I reflected on my first go at The Lost World of Mr Hardy, I found myself at once, not only wrestling with a sense of loss, but also nuturing rekindled feelings of adoration for those who churned out and stamped their intitials into my Hardy reels ... one reel at a time.

I have to concur with everything Joe has said about the film. It's not just a documentary about Hardy Bros., but about how the craft of making things by hand by companies has largely gone and been replaced by the lone craftsman. Great archival footage, interviews, shots of wonderful reels, lovely music. I could imagine what it was like to walk into Hardys at Pall Mall in its heyday.

Posts: 667 03/11/2008 00:51	Andy, You already know how I feel about the film. Thanks for sending out my copy so fast! I think I've watched it 3 or 4 times now in the last month. Such rich history yet sad to see the end of an era! Everyone should own a copy! 5 Stars from WestSlope Very well done! P.S. Now if the Prince has any pull maybe he could advise Hardy Greys on a new start up project for a few Perfects, St Georges etc.... made in the UK bound for the US market. Rick D.

Posts: 119 03/17/2008 09:02 Reclusive! Like J D Salinger	I've just watched it, twice; and reviewed it: Angling purists, social historians, anyone who fishes, has North East connections, Hardy collectors and everyone who respects tradition must watch this DVD, "The Lost world of Mr Hardy." For in it, Andy Heathcote and Heike Bachelier have distilled the essence of Britishness. On one level it pays tribute to the great British artisans, the craftsmen and women of Alnwick, those Hardy employees who created the world's finest fishing kit. Over 100 years of excellence is seen through the eyes of those who were intimately involved. It relates personal stories of the people who were there. Interviews and archive film footage are skilfully woven to paint a wonderful portrait of a bygone age. On a second level, it is a requiem for UK manufacturing and a toll of the bells for our industrial heritage. A wake up call to what globalisation means to our traditions and a realisation that things will never be the same again. On yet a third level, it is a widening beacon of light for those who want to achieve the `British Dream' (similar to the American one but quieter and more reserved). It shows that individuals can uphold the core values and skills of previous generations and turn them into cottage industries. On a personal level, my old Hardy rods and reels just became so much more important to me. Superb editing and evocative music made this a joy to watch. Brian
