A Year with Fred (New Horizons) part 2 A repeat broadcast from 1991 of the BBC2 series about Bolton Steeplejack Fred Dibnah. Date: Thursday 12th September 1991
This almost makes me cry, I remember watching this as a teenager back in the 1970s, it just reminds me how old I'm now and I think about the things that I wish I did when I was able to do it, basically no one escapes the grim reaper.

It's awesome watching this and yet, when Fred has dropped the chimney ad he's looking round and says, "Another one gone." you can actually see the glimpse of sadness on his face because he would have rather been restoring Chimneys instead of felling them.

12:49 it's a bit of a design flaw for it just to be able to be blown off the pin like that. Maybe it's actually designed to blow off now and again needing refitting? ;-)

Slatting her husband on TV, tells you everything about the woman. She came across as his school teacher. She became an ex for a very good reason.
