Unlikely to ever come out on DVD, it was a Channel 4 (UK) documentary in 1987. I had it on VHS whish has been copied onto DVD. The quality isn't too brilliant

I don't know, but I don't think so. This documentary was for the bbc in 1987, and I think it's got Ian's home in scotland on there, him and shona and also things with the band.Thanks for that video though and I hope we can find this or someone will know of where to find it or can they upload it if they have the dvd? Thanks very much.

I have moved Aqualung55's answer ( first post on this thread) from your other thread which asks the same question. Aqualungs answer is the best one and the only one that you are likely to get from any Tull fan about this docu. I have deleted your other thread .

20 Years of Tull and the Fish and Sheep are two different shows. Fish and Sheep shows mainly Ian in the fish business and follows him around on all that he does to keep a working fish harvesting business. Since this was never commercially released it won't likely appear on-line. It was a tv episode as described above.

A good and interesting programme and I have seen bootleg DVDs of it on the web. Welcome to the Jethro Tull Forum Indyclev and have a good browse around the place - there are some interesting things here.

The quality isn't too brilliant I too have it on VHS but never had it copied to DVD. Funny story how I got it. I was actually home sick from work one day (I was upstairs in bed) and my mother had on the Discovery Channel (downstairs in the living room) and from my bedroom I heard the first few seconds of a flute and I jumped out of bed so fast and flew downstairs to see what my mother was watching and just then I saw Ian and as fast as I could I hit the record button on the VCR and managed to get just about all of it. That was a nice day to be home sick... Silken...

I would be dead amazed if that thing, Fish and Sheep, is not available somewhere on this site, or on the Jethro Tull Board. Last I knew it is very certainly all still on You Tube, I would mark it as utterly essential Tull viewing, up there with the very best like the 77 show at the Hippodrome I think it is, and the documentary from last year or so, (all on You Tube last I knew) and the 2005 show, forgot where that was, Switzerland too like the very good show from last year? Unrelated but too lazy, strapped for time to open another thread, happened upon a online article written in a very dear unaffected way by a lady in NJ excited to bits to be about to interview Ian. Contacted her, now a Facebook friend, here is a link to her equally well written, deliciously unaffected take on meeting him and the sheer excitement for something she may not have seen with the regularity of some of us, and meeting a man much closer to the one I know, always amazed to see the amount of sheer bs that is tossed around amongst what I would presume to be his most ardent fan base. I still stand by what I have mentioned before, spoken by a man I met who was his farm manager, Ian Mackinnon, seen throughout that Fish and Sheep thing I recall, "I could not imagine working for a finer gentleman." I always know there is likely some points not made for people who had a different exposure, like calling him God or something, seriously, calm down. www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=455563697623&id=1068948674&ref=mf Hope that works...not sure.

Actually now that I poke around I see part of what I am remembering is found, probably a different program, on You Tube under "New Lords of the Isles."

There's a poor quality youtube of the opening credits to "Fish . . ." (1987) on the web
but "The Newlords Of The Isles" (1979) is on youtube

And really just to show that in 1987 Ian Anderson got some pretty good write-ups now and again, I've found these in my scrapbooks. FISH 'N' SHEEP 'N' ROCK 'N' ROLL, C4, 9.0 p.m. It's curious how so many rock stars have made their money out of rebellion and then gone on to become the new landed gentry, lan Anderson was one of the legendary figures on the music scene back in the late 'Sixties and early 'Seventies as the eccentric leader of Jethro Tull. The band still goes on tour and still releases albums for ageing fans but, these days, Anderson prefers to spend much of his time developing his magnificent Highland estate which forms a large chunk of the Isle of Skye. There he has invested time, effort and money to establish a salmon farm which is now a thriving concern. Most of the year he spends three days a week on Skye. The rest of the time, he is likely to be in Buckinghamshire where he continues to compose and record music in his own studio.Daily Express 15 September 1987 When Skye's not the limit. There is lan Anderson, long-haired lead singer and flautist with the Jethro Tull band; and there is lan Anderson, laird of 15,000 acres on the island of Skye. Anderson's contrasting worlds are examined in a C4 documentary, Jethro Tull on Tuesday, In 1984, after more than 15 years on the pop pinnacle, Anderson decided to spend two years off the road and on his agricultural interests, As well as his estate on Skye, he owns a mixed farm at Radnage in Buckinghamshire. But he has now been reunited with the band, which is preparing for a world tour.TV Times, 12/18 September 1987 Fish 'n' Sheep n' Rock ’n’ Roll. Since the late Sixties, lan Anderson has led one of Britain's finest rock bands, Jethro Tull, who still go on tour, still pack stadiums and still release albums. These days, though, he prefers to spend more time developing his magnificent Highland estate — a huge chunk of Skye. There he has invested time, effort and money to establish a salmon farm, providing smoked salmon to the wealthier South. Most of the year, Anderson is on Skye three days a week. The rest of the time he is likely to be in Buckinghamshire. There, in his own studio, he continues to compose and record his special brand of music.
