    That is awesome! Incredible work, that kind of patience and dedication is incredibly unique and valuable. Also love seeing a video from the past, older videos are excellent for gaining insight for younger people like myself into what life was like in the previous century.
    Thanks for sharing!

    Yes he became quite a celebrity after this series because of that and his friendly northern 'salt of the earth' personally. He was a staple in my house when I was growing up, right up until my mid 20's when unfortunately he passed. It always warms me up watching his programmes.

    You've got to have some balls to climb up ladder without a rope to those heights.

    This reminds me of those men in the late 20s raising those high buildings in New York. One Friday evening July 1975 I had a great night with my cousin Ronny and his girl friend at the playland in Vancouver. One of the rides that we went on was the turning room that went up about 200 feet and back down. Ronny wouldn't look out the window lol Cindy and I had no problem at all. On the other hand, later that night we went to see Jaws. I never went swimming the rest of the summer. Even in heated swimming pools

    Never a mention for the cameraman lugging his kit up there too and climbing the same ladder.

    Much like sherpa Tenzing never really got recognition for the conquest of Everest. He was just carrying all the equipment!

    Maybe Fred was referring to the cameraman when he said that some characters need 5 pints at dinner time.
