When Peter Carr went for the job of editor of Sporting Rifle magazine, the publisher asked for a quick description of him. Well – we said – he’s a kind of cross between Mellors from Lady Chatterley’s Lover and Hagrid from Harry Potter. “Does that mean,” asked the publisher, “that he will kill dragons and sleep with my wife?” The answer, of course, is yes. A former gamekeeper and sporting agent, Peter is the most hands-on editor in the world of shooting magazines and a popular contributor to Fieldsports Channel. Capable and hardworking, he recently became launch editor of Modern Gamekeeping.

Description

Imagine catching a fish weighing 891lb - and not having to go to the Indian Ocean or the Caribbean to do it. The Tunny Club began in the 1930s. It attracted film stars and industrialists - the mighties of the age - to the East Yorkshire ports of Scarborough, Whitby and Bridlington. For two decades, those ports enjoyed the glamour of Hollywood. Now, the last of the men who remember those days tell their stories. This film first appeared in Fieldsports Britain, episode 9.
