WESTCOUNTRY TALES S1E2 - The Poacher

The producers approached a well known Westcountry broadcaster and writer, Tom Salmon to script write this episode. He adapted the story only after close liason with Bernard Skuse, the original 'poacher'. This film is particularly unusual in that it is set precisely in the places in which the story happened. Bernie was present throughout filming and was able to assist the actor, Dave Royal, with the finer details of the script, boosting its authenticity.
