Ernie James (8th January 1906 - 5th July 2005)
This Anglia Television documentary details some of the life and times of Ernie James, arguably the last of the true 'Fen Tigers'.
Dramatically improved picture and sound quality over the currently available versions already on RU-vid - this is via a new source with selective restoration and digital enhancement by Fenland on Film.
Digitally enhanced and restored as follows:
- Absolutely no AI
- Upscaled to 1080p
- Film damage removal / suppression (where reasonably possible)
- Colour corrected
- Enhanced audio
- Audio / visual sync correction ... I'm amazed in nearly 50 years this hadn't been done before as even on the original production, it had a significant delay between the picture and sound!
- New music track (due to copyright issues)

fantastic film, to think I was stationed at RAF Wattisham near Ipswich in 1975. Loved my time there visiting the old pubs, drinking Tolly cobold and greene king beer

Fantastic film, the digitally enhanced footage even better than the DVD i have. Remember watching this when i was a kid, since read the book written by Ernie's daughter. What with the peewits and drumming snipe it's like reminiscing about a lost age and men who lived a simpler, happier life in conjunction with the natural world.

Ernie's lovely accent reminds me of long ago times spent with my mum's family, who were from Stretham. Her dad was a Fenland horseman, as mentioned in this film.

Fascinating, and within my adult memory too. Long gone now.

What a lovely film about a man who certainly knew his trade. 🌈

It is a must that we continue his traditions of the Fenland men.

A novel about the Fens and life around Ernie's time is Waterland by Graham Swift. It's well worth reading.

My job as a customer engineer took me across the Fens in the 1970's. In the summer it was a beautiful landscape, but in winter when the thick fog descended it was bleak.

My favourite tv clip on youtube, nice to see it digitally tidied up, I used to fish in this area in the early 1970's, though sadly didn't go i n the pub. I prefer the original music soundtrack though, wonder why it was changed?

@FenlandOnFilm 5 месяцев назад

The music had to be changed due to copyright reasons sadly - we would have preferred to keep the music from the original too but did our best to replace it with something as close as possible.
