The editing, cinematography and stage presence of Les make this an excellent show even decades later. Australia is so incredibly interesting.

@dryan5328 6 месяцев назад

It's good yet seasons 1 and 2 are even better and older! It was a shame that Rory O'Donoghue wasn't a part of this third season for the music track beyond the intro clip.

That's a bloody grim tale, hey? Best show ever, I reckon!

@schnitzilla1982 Год назад

Every episode is a huge hit of nostalgia. Thanks ABC and Les!

Remember when the ABC made shows like this... not the woketard agenda spewing garbage of today.

There's a great song by Aussie folk rock band Weddings, Parties, Anything called A Tale They Won't Believe that taught me this story in 1990. Went on a visit to Sarah Island on my honeymoon. Bush Tucker Man was my childhood hero in a time when 'media' was newspapers, the ABC and one or, depending on signal, 2 local commercial tv stations. Thanks for upload ABC 👍

@arcagebuttons5987 Год назад

Back when the ABC was watchable. Thanks Les

@brendanhoffmann8402 Год назад

I first read about his story in Philip Hughes' book 'The fatal shore'. I never get tired of hearing it!

@oz_collector9602 Год назад

Awesome to see these old episodes. Thanks Aunty and thanks Les.

@nathanmarwick7565 Год назад

As an ex digger I never get tired of watching Les. He makes the new survival shows look so amateurish.. Thanks for sharing

@minkles1330 Год назад

Love re watching all these. I remember watching the DVD "Van Diemen's Land" years ago which was about this.

@Drabbi4her Год назад

i wish more were made of the Bush Tucker Man, Les is a Fantastic presenter.

@dampri3182 Год назад

Superb, brilliant Les! Thanks mate

@CrispyHulk1 Год назад

3 seasons with Les Hiddins as The Bush Tucker Man was simply… criminal. I’d LOVE a 4th season more akin to season 1! Just a relaxed adventure with tips and tricks.

Nothing like having a wild party and, as the good Doctor said, "having a friend for dinner'. 😱

"I stood on Sarah Island, and I saw the gates of Hell, where nine brave ships, and many a soul, had heard the last watch bell".

one of my favourite convict songs.

Who was treated worse by the British, the indigenous or the convicts. They were tough times and tough people but they got things done. We should all be grateful for the hardships they endured to build a nation and be thankful that we can now leave those days behind.

@johnwalters4792 8 месяцев назад

Being British myself. Yes best you leave those days behind.

@bennyc409 Год назад

Keep this nostalgia crack coming ABC!

Hey Les, You left something up at Frenchman's Cap.......

Beautiful 😻

@HoodaThunkit-sj3lk 8 месяцев назад

They made one convict lash another. If it wasn't good enough, they would be lashed. Most lashings in one year in the British Empire. What a record to have. Not good on ya Tassie.

How many of us have nicked a glass from a pub? 😂

@janewhite2331 Год назад

I really enjoy your presentations Les but it often strikes me that you frequently talk about the British people having done something quite brutal and I’m sure that I won’t be the only British person to appreciate it if you could occasionally acknowledge that it wasn’t the British people but was on the orders of the British government whom most of the British people could not elect.

@skintslots Год назад

I will also add,as a fellow Brit,that the Australians own treatment of the Aborigines is not much better than how the Brits treated them either. Great show though and really love rewatching it so many years later. Just as a caveat,my ancestors were just as likely to be Irish at this stage too.

@ste309w Год назад

So he eats everyone on the first escape attempt. And in his second, still manages to convince some other poor bugger to go with him?

@robertafierro5592 Год назад

I wonder what the name of that silent film is...

@chelelight5107 Год назад

I thought he said it was called For The Term of His Natural Life

@danijuggernaut Год назад

Very interesting, after seen the movie "Van Diemens Land" i look all the videos about Alexander Pearce. Just note, we don´t have to forget that in does times, a British jail was much worst then the Tasmanian prisoner camp. Big cities in England were stinky, dirty, epidemic, high criminality. So, in a certain way, the prisoners had a lesser worst treatment comparing. Greetings from Spain.
