Please is it me to contact Jules Hudson
Thank you
hi,
i missed the screening and would like to know when and on what channel you'd be showing the repeat.
thx
Hi. Just watched today's episode.....Did the couple with the little girl get their big 'barn' type house?????
can you tell me if there was an episode set in Alwalton, Peterbrough?
Seeing that I watch & enjoy "Escape to the Country" from Australia, it would be very helpful if you could use area maps of the places that people are going from & potentially going to
Can you tell me please when the episode of Escape to the Country screened on BBC2 on 4 March at 3pm will be repeated on any channel ? Many thanks - Rena
Well having just switched over from watching Jess Conrad (who was described as 1960s pop icon - I dont think so!!!) I feel obliged to comment on old Jess's attitude and selective memory of just how 'popular' and 'remembered' he actually is!!! Why oh why did he bring his poor long suffering wife Rene along with him to find a house which quite obviously was just to suit his own needs and massive (though highly mis-informed) ego!! I am just 10 years younger than old Jess and I am flabbergasted that he had to name drop all through the programme (mainly about Jess Conrad as if he was more popular than the real icons he just had to mention!), - I just hope the likes of Joan Collins, Roger Moore, Koo Stark, Prince Andrew, to mention just a few, have the good sense not to watch this programme (I feel truly sorry for the producers who felt they had to stoop to the level of getting old Jess on the programme as I thought the programme was doing quite well and really enjoy it as a rule!!), as I am sure they will all be most upset by being mentioned by someone who none of them have ever heard of, yet alone been acquainted with. Rene get yourself a 'man' and spend the next 42 years thinking of yourself gal and not having to kowtow to this peacock of an individual! Sorry Rene but women like you give women in general a bad name! Good luck to you Rene! You'll need it!! Jane
Escape to the country Jess? yes please but not this one, and leave your long suffering wife behind. Has she no say in what happens? and why do you need a dressing room? I cant remember the last time you appeared in the west end theatre. You have a million pound home to sell, fell in love with a six hundred thousand pounder which leaves one hundred odd thousand to keep within your target to to revamp the bathroom, but no, Jess didnt like it. Come on be honest with yourself, you were never a massive pop star and NEVER an actor. A prat? yes that nearer the truth.
Last nights programme (jess Conrad)with presenter Melissa Porter. My wife absolutely loved the check jacket Melissa was wearing, anyone know wear I can find one similar please?
many thanks
Bob Creese
Can you please tell me from which town the programme on the 11th April was televised from. In the final part of the programme we saw a beautiful church in the background and would like to know where that was.
Would appreciate a response.
Thank you
E Challinor
Saw the filming of part of the episode in the Bath Spa on Friday 11th April 08
so was wondering when it will be screened.
We spoke to Jules and thought what a very pleasant person, absolutely charming. He made our day at the Spa even more special.
Many thanks.
Diane Fisher
Will Jules be presenting a new series of Escape to the Country. Can't wait to see him again.
trying to get a copy of escape to the country sutton to North wales which featured a cottage in Llanbedr,Cardigan Bay near Barmouth. We are buying that cottage!!It was featured last year we believe???Await to hear.with thanks!
Is it possible to get a copy of 'Escape to the Country' 5th December 2007 or to download this episode or watch it as a repeat.
Just watched episode of family from Port Talbot!!! I love this programme & this certainly was probably the most entertaining yet! How did Catherine keep a straight face? I would love to see the reaction of their new neighbours if they ever do move to "the country"! You couldn't make them up, could you? In the words of the woman of the house - "class"!!!
Couldn't agree more with the last comment from Aline Tasker re the programme on June 2nd - didn't believe it was real!!Are you likely to ever repeat it?
Do any of the people taking part ever actually purchase the houses they view?
hi,i love your program,escape to the country,but that really annoying blond woman who sometimes presents it,keeps ruining it,she is the worst present on tv ever,realy want to watch the program,but everytime she's on it i have to switch it over,so is lots of my friends.cant handle listenning her or even look at her,please get rid of her,if you want to keep good reputation of escape to the country programe,many thanks
It seems a waste of time to actually have prospective buyers on escape to the country.They obviously are after their 45 minutes of fame.98% of the entrants are complete time wasters with
absolutely no intention of buying any of
the properties shown.
i missed the show tonight so wich channel is the repeat on or can you send me a vidio
There was an episode on last night about a gay couple buying a 15th century home. Does anyone know where that home is located?
Agree with Ray from Australia, I have also thought it would be nice, watching the show from Canada, that a small map with locations would be a helpful suggestion.
Just started watching the shows very recently and was wondering how many years the show has been going on?
Thanks.
I believe the house I am now living in was shown on an episode of Escape To The Country.The house is The Old Coach House in Westward Ho! Is there any way I can see a repeat of this episode ?
hi my comment is the people that you sell the houses to fuss about anythings and everything from the walls and little things like that. please stop
Does anybody on the show actually buy any
of the houses or do they just want to be on T.V. also get rid of the blonde that
presents the show, she's way too prissy and cant dress at all. Good show but get rid of the blonde PLEASE!!!!!!!
Delighted to hear that the new series will be on shortly, presented by Jules Hudson. Hope he will be on TV a bit more with history and/or archeological related subjects.
We really like Catherine. Will she be on again? where did she go ?
I am Belgian and I am fond of "Escape to the Country". I never miss an episode. I really love the English rural landscapes. Congratulations to the presenters! I hope this programme will never stop!
What a pleasure it is to have Jules present the show in such a welcoming and entertaining way... Perhaps the writers will make use of his talents and allow him to enrich the hour with more commentary on the heritage value of structures he tours. Such would give greater depth to the hour and make the experience a more learned one. And, for a bit of fun outside the pub... if Catherine Gee has left behind a pair of her pointy shoes, we'd be happy to see him sport them in effigy... The moors might be a good location!
dear catherine, we love the show but do not watch it so much now you are not the presenter. you did a woderful job and made the show a great success, you have a great presence and such a lovely voice it was a pleasure to watch the show. please producer bring back catherine, in canada many people are not watching the show now as we do not care for the new presenter and the way you are presenting the show, why spoil something that was great and change everything, please bring back catherine and all your canadian viewers will watch your show again. thank you Sylvia Hicks
Love Escape to the Country - it's my favourite programme, especially when it's the lovely Jules! Any chance we can ever see the house he's renovating?
I would like to purchase the series Escape to the Country. Are any of the series available on DVD?
I really like the way the programme is being presented in the new series, with some more attention to local details. I think Jules is of course top of the bill and hope we will see a lot more shows presented by him!
Not all Canadians have stopped watching, my mom and I still love it! Just takes a bit of getting used to with the new style, and we get to see the mystery house all the time now. Catherine's on Fantasy Homes by the Sea now, so we can still see her! I would also like to know if the seasons can be purchased on DVD, I haven't found it available online yet. Anyone know?
Love the new series. OMG Jules is gorgeous. Where can I find out more about him.
I absolutely agree with the comments above about Jules Hudson, he comes over as charming with a lovely sense of humour. All the women he shows around obviously take to him! They chat him up and make cheeky comments! Long may he continue to present the programme. Good to see him doing some Cash In The Attic as well! I'd go on Escape if Jules came with the house!
I'm not so keen on Alastair (ooh I do love me) Appleton though. He's reasonable as a presenter but doesn't have Jules's charm and wit.
Denise Nurse seem really nice, always smiling and a lovely attitude towards the people she guides around.
Catherine Gee's voice sends me to the nearest vomit bin. My sister watches the old episodes with her on them and her voice really grates on me.
Now some praise for the camera operators! They always pick out the beautiful things to film: animals, rivers, views etc., and really enhance the programme.
Unfortunately I missed the episode shown on November 14th showing properties in Dorset. One of the properties featured namely Rosemary Cottage, Stour Row is where I grew up some 50 years ago so I was so disappointed not to see how the cottage had been renovated over the years. Is it possible to purchase a copy of the DVD of this programme or could you please tell me if and when it will be repeated? Many thanks
Hi,
I also love watching ETTC, especially when lovely Jules is on. A pity for us girls that he's obviously gay...
Julia
I don't agree with the most recent comment. Jules isn't gay, all the women adore him! I read that he got engaged anyway!
Hi, misty, where did you read info on our Jules? Really hard to track him down! Txs!
I recently watched an episode on UKTV and the presenter (Alastair I think)interviewed a woman who had set up an art gallery in a converted barn, and I saw a painting in the background I fell in love with. I thought they said the gallery was called Daisy Art Gallery but I can't locate it anywhere. The painting was of a little girl with a red mac on, splashing her wellies in a puddle. Any ideas anyone?
Love the show. In Canada, we only get some old repeats... shame.. I like Catherine,Alistair and Jules. The "tanned" family who looked like mutton dressed as lamb where hysterical, don't know how Catherine was able to keep a straight face whenm one of the blond "babes" said "the country is outside" whilst not appreciating the the classic inside of the home. Unbelievable - and they weren't actors...this one was a keeper. Wish you could get the series on DVD - any chance of this happening ?
Hi Txs! Typed his name in on the internet! Actually, there's another Jules Hudson who got married last May, there was a wedding video on Youtube (I think)so I looked at it thinking it was Jules from Escape but it was someone totally different. I think I was wrong about him getting engaged but don't think he's gay. Wonder what makes Julia think he is? Alistair is, he has a website where he openly admits it.
Hey TA, I just typed his name in on my web search. He may just be a very private person
Hi from New Zealand
Escape to the Country is my all time favourite programme - I just love it. But oh how I miss the old format! And I also miss Catherine Gee. Why, oh why did you change?? Any chance of reverting back to the old format - and Catherine Gee? The programme is a wonderful travelogue and reminds me that I simply must come back to England for another visit. Have you made anyh DVDs? I'd buy every single one - especially those in the old format.
Txs Misty, yes so did I and to be honest I do respect and admire the fact that Jules Hudson is very quiet about his private life, especially in this day and age where everything needs to be blogged, or put on Facebook etc. it is an admirable quality! However, I am genuinley interested in and intrigued by him and share his interests in history, archeology etc. Hence my enquiry as I had hoped there was more on that. Anyway, will enjoy what I can whenever he is on TV with ETTC or CIT(C)Attic! Best wishes.
Txs, Misty, I did so too. I actually admire and respect his decision not to be so open about his private life on the internet, as most people these days feel the need to share their all on every blog, facebook etc. Nevertheless I have a genuine interest in him and share the interest in history and archeology. I had hoped that through this link I could find out more about his other programmes. I will enjoy every chance though I have to see him present ETTC and CIT(C)Attic! Best wishes!
Hi TA! Snap! I love history and archaeology too! When I lived in Oxford some years ago my flat mate used to work at the Oxford Archaeological Unit and we were going to join a dig some time but sadly it never happened. Expect you've heard about the archaeologist who lived in digs! (groan)
I actually feel a bit bad about putting something personal about Alistair in one of my earlier postings. Although he is open about himself I feel we should be confining our comments to the program and not the presenters' private lives. So if you ever read this, Alistair, I apologise.
By the way, TA, did you catch Jules on uktv style all this weekend presenting Escape? They are doing 'favourite presenters' weekends, they have already featured Melissa and possibly Catherine. Not sure whether they have shown a weekend of Alistair or not though.
They also want viewers to log into their web site and vote for their favourite Escape presenter - no difficulty there then! Unfortunately they wouldn't allow me to vote more than once. It was "Who would you most like to Escape to the Country" with? They would have to hire a train for all the ladies who would like to Escape with Jules!
Do you watch Time Team TA?
Sorry TA, the other posting about voting for favourite presenter etc was from me, Misty, and not Mity as it reads. I used to be such an accurate typist too!
Hi Misty, thanks for your reply. Unfortunately I cannot watch all programmes as I live in The Netherlands, hence that is why I had hoped to find out more about the man's other programmes as I can get The History Channel. I managed to see some of the Revival shows. I watched a rerun of ETTC recently on BBC and am delighted to see that from Monday onwards the new ETTC series starts!! In the mean time I of course voted for the Jules on the website. Let's wait and see who will be nr. 1 (besides for us and all the others in the train, tehe, but we are at the steering wheel though eh ;-) Best regards, =TA=
Where was that lovely new build in Cornwall with all the light? Camborne?
Can it be true that the new series of Escape to the Country on BBC2 has finished already? It seems as if it was only on for about 2 weeks. I've been so looking forward to it returning to our screens and can't believe it's gone again already! What are the BBC playing at? More soon please, no - I mean LOTS more soon please!
The last series did seem to fly by, really enjoyed that. Very happy though that they still ask for new applicants for the show so hopefully another series will be released soon!
PS Hi Misty, are you on Facebook on EttC? Take care, =TA=
Hi TA. I'm on normal Facebook, but not ETTC Facebook. What do I have to do? I have my own personal website but at present have only let friends etc see it. Hope ETTC is back very soon and hope you are keeping well.
Hi Misty, yes I have my own provite FB as well, think this is te link to the FB of EttC: http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1541961811#/pages/Escape-to-the-country/20616744802?ref=mf Hope this helps. I am well, enjoying the lovely spring weather and anxiously await new shows of EttC. I think some best of's will be shown next week. Did you read that Alistair won fave presenter by far? All the best, =TA=
Hi TA! Thanks for the link, I'll have a go some time soon. Yes I did read that Alastair won favourite presenter. Have to say I was a bit miffed as it would have been lovely if Jules had won! However, Alistair is a very good and experienced presenter and a rather attractive man. Thought he looked great with the beard a few months ago! I loved yesterday's ETTC in the afternoon (8 April)which Jules presented. He was looking back at favourite mystery houses and some other quirky houses. Very interesting!
I just LOVE the Best of EttC's! Hopefully there will be more of that and of course new episodes are very welcome too! I also like the more interactive moments between the prospective buyers and presenters. Best wishes to all, TA
Hi TA! Aren't these new episodes great! It must be wonderful for the presenters to go and see the other places (not already seen on ETTC) as well. Some of those houses were most interesting. How do you fancy living in a Yurt? I'd never heard of them until the episode when Jules went to see one. Not sure that it would be my scene, prefer a nice warm house! I thought the man who had transformed a windmill into a beautiful home was very clever, took him a few years. The end result was magical! What a wonderful job for the presenters, to be able to see all those lovely houses and old buildings! Is it my imagination or is Jules looking tired in this latest series? Thought I saw bags under his eyes in one episode, hope he's not overdoing things - we want him on our screens, not tired from exhaustion!
Hi Misty, yes, they all do seemed to enjoy themselves at all the fascinating places they were invited to, also when they joined in in some of the activities, like Jules at the blacksmith! It was a bit surprising though that some of these homes and cottages were repeated in several show, guess they really were everybody's favourites. I particularly liked this Welsh intriguing village Portmeilion! And did not think Jules looked tired, maybe it was the winter catching up on him, he seemed to be his enthusiastic self. Saw him in Countryfile too, with the horses. I love riding myself but am not sure if I could hold on to these huge beauties! Take care, =TA=
Did you know that Jules H was co-commentating on showjumping a programme on Horse and Country channel. Caught a programme last week and surprised to hear him on there. Enjoyed his Countryfile bit, and more Escape repeats starting in UKTV Style on Saturday with Jules presenting(series 6). Agree it was a shame they repeated some of the houses on the compilations programme, and also showed the same houses as on that Wed evening repeat too!!
Hi TA. I've just been watching May 3rd Countryfile on I Player. Found out by accident that Jules was on there. Is he a regular presenter on this latest series? I do hope so! He said in one of his ETTC episdoes that he adores horses and I know he has presented programmes to do with them before. Unfortunatley I don't have sky+ so can't record one sky programme whilst watching another and my sister isn't into horses really. I think they are beautiful creatures. Some years ago in Tunisia the Bedouins did the most fantastic display of horsemanship and those Arab horses are so majestic the way they move! I'll have to record Countryfile in future and watch it later. I hope there will be some more ETTC soon. Hope also that you are well and having some good weather.
Hi, anxiously awaiting the new EttC series. Hope it will be soon. Although repeats are welcome in the mean time until the new shows. It is good to see Jules every now and then in Countryfile. I don't think he is joining on a weekly basis, but really liked the navigation segment. I am not quite sure if I would have managed, unless I knew Jules would be waiting for me at the parking lot, haha! TC, =TA=
Hi TA
Not been on line for few days, computer problems. Then remembered System Restore that takes you back to an earlier date, did that and it's running well again now! Also been dealing with landlord over problems with our gas boiler which is really ancient but he kept refusing to replace it. He's been told for 4 years now that it needs replacing, every time it was serviced! Had knock at door out of the blue last monday eve, a bod from the Gas company saying someone down road called him out cos could smell gas. He was checking several of the houses to look at appliances. He discovered our boiler was burning yellow and shut it down on the spot as being 'immediately dangerous'. We had been smelling fumes now and again but not all time. Knew it was due to be serviced soon. Frightening, if that man hadn't come to look at it we could have died from the fumes. Wondered why we were so tired and getting forgetful, dizzy/lightheaded, depression etc. We couldn't really see the flame in the boiler and hadn't realised. Anyone who reads this, do keep an eye on your gas boiler flame. If it burns yellow, shout for someone to come and look at it and don't delay! Anyway, sorry, back to ETTC, hope there will be more soon. We have the advantage of seeing them on other sky channels tho they are repeats. Hope you are keeping well? I did have a look at Facebook so that I could write to you about other things but didn't really get the hang of the ETTC connection with it.
Hi Misty, happy for you to connect with me on dtht57@hotmail.com TC, =TA=
Alistair is such a star. I am totally in love with him.
Happy to see that some, albeit 'historic' EttC reruns are starting again from Sunday onwards. TC, =TA=
The ETTC specials last week were very enjoyable. Although they contain bits from programs which have been on before that doesn't matter because it's brilliant to see the in-between bits - especially with Jules doing the presenting 3 days last week - where the presenters go to see how renovations are accomplished. When you see the barn or chapel conversions you have no conception of all the work that goes on to achieve the finished product. The industrial conversions were very interesting also. The whole idea of the presenters getting hands-on and trying out different skills makes ETTC compulsive viewing - if it wasn't already!! Lots more of the same please!
I give up, I really do. What on earth do people watch this show for? Because you'd like to shag the presenter? Because you wish you were a London-centric effete tosser with a million zlotniks spare to buy 50 acres and a choclotate box thatched roof outwith Middlesex and screw the poor sods who've lived there all their lives and now can't afford to buy in a super-inflated market, because it's stuffed to the gunnels with blasted yuppified IT consultants, 'artists' and other assorted nobodies? Because you're a celeb-sniffer?
It's a lousy programme aimed at aspirational tossers with much more mortgage than sense, in the main. And most of them have children with aspirational names like 'Freddy' and 'Langoustine', 'Candida' and 'Chlamydia' ( for the vaginally-challenged ) LOL.
Get a grip.
Get a life.
I would like to know when the episode will be repeated showing a couple viewing a house with a windmill in the garden. He was a bit obnoxious. A close family member who loved this house, out of all the houses ever shown, has recently died. It would be lovely to be able to see the episode that meant so much...
Re: Frank Lee Sinical - Your comment is quite obviously one of a personal nature, been dumped by someone associated with ETTC have you? You clearly have an axe to grind. I hope you feel happier soon and able to get on with the rest of your life.
you recently showed a repeat f an equestrian property in Poynton cheshire called Barlow Fold Lodge. can i watch this episode or buy it on dvd. many thanks
Isn't it about time we had a new series of ETTC!? I'm getting withdrawal symptoms!!!! The repeats are ok, but repeats of repeats are losing their charm! Please BBC make some more with Jules and Alastair presenting and make us all happy!
Does anyone know if Jules Hudson is a married man or what ?
Audrey, no one seems to know - except Jules himself of course! There is a facebook (I think)video of the wedding of a Jules Hudson, but he bears no resemblance to the ETTC Jules! I suspect the ETTC Jules is a very private person, and I don't blame him. Journalists always try to find out everything they can but they don't have the right to pry if people don't want them to know, do they:-) I could imagine Jules with a sweet little curly haired daughter who thinks Daddy is the most wonderful person in the world. Everybody say aaah!
Now here's an idea! Just been chatting to my next door neighbour over the fence. She watches ETTC and adores Alastair! If you ever read this, Alastair, or if any of the programme's producers read this column, she would love to see Alastair present one programme wearing a kilt, and another dressed in swashbuckling outfit! Don't suppose you could oblige? :-)
hi guy's
just to let you know the ETC team have just been to my house to film for the new series, Jules is coming later in the week to show the buyers around. I'll see what i can find out for all you interested ladies!! Can't wait to meet him after reading all your blogs
well jules has been here and im glad to report he is as charming and good looking as he appears on TV! although ive been slightly stressed about the tv crew being here they have all been lovely and very friendly. It may help sell our house but even if it doesn't its been fun and just worth it to meet jules.
Your new presenter Denise Nurse is great .She has alovely voice makes us want to hear more and she is gorgeous .Please show her more .The east enders love her .We may one day afford hose lovely homes.
Tracie, how lovely for you! Much as I'm insanely jealous that you've met our lad I'm delighted for you!!! He always gives the impression that he would be just as nice off tv as on and you've confirmed that. Unfortunately I live in rented accommodation at present with no sign of being able to buy, so I'll just have to watch him from afar! What's going on though with ETTC, new presenters coming in. No disrespect to the new ones but we don't want our Jules leaving. I know he's been busy in Normandy (I think) on archaeological digs from WWII sites, the programme to be shown next summer.
Ooooooooooooo Tracie I am so jealous!! How lucky you are. No doubt in my mind he is as charming live as on the telly. So come girl, spill the beans!
Hi, Really do enjoy the show, all the presenters and crew put together a great programme. Where can I purchase the soundtrack CD, the credits at the end of the show mention music Malcolm. Flynn!
Hi - I am sending this from Australia.We love your programme,Escape to the Country,I think we may be well behind the UK,BUT,please tell us that Alistair has left,he is awful,a real pain,where has Catherine Gee gone?she was the best.Keep up the great work on the programme.
Hi Misty/Angel
Oh god he's really lovely very much the english gentleman, i had my picture taken with him and kissed his cheek, my son (who's 13) said i was drooling!!! i was, who cares if he sells our house! I don't think he has any plans to leave, but he did say he was doing a new programme about properties that need renovating. He also says he travels about 1,000 miles aweek doing this. I saved his picture on my desk top but my husbund wasn't too happy. We are moving to scotland from bristol and he suggested i call him when we are ready to buy and he can help us..oh yes i think so.
If any Jules fans are interested I've discovered a JULES HUDSON APPRECIATION SOCIETY on Facebook! It's free to join and you can add your comments!
Oh you lucky thing Tracie. So did he give you his phone number then??????? Have you had a chance to find out if he is married or any other relationship?
Reply to 'Tom of Lakes'. It's amazing you get ETTC over there in Australia! Catherine hasn't been on the programme for a long time now and, I imagine, unlikely to return. The new format and new presenters are very popular. As for your comments about Alastair, although he isn't my personal favourite, he is very popular. A few months ago viewers were asked to vote who they would most like to escape to the country with: Catherine, Melissa, Jules or Alastair. I voted for Jules but Alastair won by a landslide apparently! I don't know in what order the other 3 came. I suppose it wouldn't do for us all to be the same!There are some new presenters now, one of whom is Aled Jones who, when he was young and before his voice broke, had the singing voice of an angel. He does quite well presenting the program. Jules is becoming increasingly popular but not on the program as much as before as he is involved in other projects. You will no doubt be pleased to know that Alastair isn't on as much as before either, presumably for the same reason. Hope you will keep watching. Do you have a similar programme in Australia?
Hello, i was watching Escape to the Country, episode 10 this evening 10/11/2009 and i am extremely intersted in the second property which was located in Cambridgeshire. It has 4 bedrooms and was said to be on offer at £395. If anybody knows the exact location of it or any other available information please contact me.
Thanking you so much.
Jennifer
your presenter alid jones is we believe an absolute master of his craft in this series of Escape to the Country. His persona is absolutely spot on and really profesional. My wife nor mayself would miss one episode where he is in charge. To say the least he is an absolute gold mine to BBC 2. Wonderful job Alid, keep up the good work.
