A Year with Fred (New Horizons) part 1 A repeat broadcast from 1991 of the BBC2 series about Bolton Steeplejack Fred Dibnah. Date: Thursday 12th September 1991
This great man Fred Dibnah should have been knighted, such a hardworking, modest, caring human being. You are always Sir Fred in my eyes regardless. Thankyou for all the great series SIR FRED. RIP BOLTON LEGEND 🙏 From Liverpool UK.

I'm not sure about being knighted, I would never accept any award from the royal family and I can't understand why Fred did.

I like How Jack is wearing a Thomas the tank engine bobble hat while he was helping Fred oil up the steam roller

Today he'd be wearing a Minecraft or Roblox hat, or Spiderman. Kids aren't into Thomas the Tank Engine and steam trains anymore, far too boring for them. Instead their constant attention is diverted to stupid youtube videos of some (mostly American) idiot playing these strange Roblox and Piggy games (which sadly my two kids are glued to).

I wonder what happened to his ex wives. I'm guessing they don't want any media/public attention. I'm assuming his last wife is now deceased. I noticed in the Made in Britain series Fred says he has two sons, but I thought the young boy with the dark hair seen in the A Year with Fred series with his first wife was one of his sons, but apparently he can't be. He must've been from her previous relationship/marriage. I think he also had a daughter, but she's never talked about by Fred at all, or maybe she wasn't his?.

@@Embracing01 this is the mother of the two sons. First wife had 3 daughters. This one left the oldest boy Jack with Fred and took youngest Roger they split. I could be wrong but according to public records both 1st and 2nd wife were pregnant before marriage.
