- Life with Fred (Spring Again) part 1
A repeat broadcast from 1995 of the BBC2 series about Bolton Steeplejack Fred Dibnah which was first shown in March 1994.
Date: Thursday 23rd February 1995
Thought I watched them all then found this. Probably the happiest and most pure I have seen this man.
When Fred said how we have had our time. How right he was 😢
Fred was a legend, hearing him talk about his kid was nice
Fred didn`t have a stop button. Always in motion. RIP Fred.
This man was a legend. Hard as nails and an incredibly nice guy.
I like how she says she doesn't expect him to do half of the housework, but really she does. It's like him expecting she does half of every chimney.
Love fred dibnah absolute legend miss him he was a great person really said that I never had a chance to meet him as he died in 2004 3yrs after I was born
Fred's wife reminds me of Wallace's girlfriend Wendoline from A Close Shave. "Oh no! I can't stand cheese. Brings me out in a rash" 😂
Welcome the Northern England.
What is wrong about her? She is fine and completely fuckable :D
Fred had a great taste in engines and a terrible taste in women, and here's the proof.
6:30
Exactly. Weak wife, weak man.
I haven't seen this one, thank you for uploading!!
No worries, thanks
“I have a wash more now , I never used too “ 😂😂😂
That's me Grandad Bill Neale of Pleasley, in the County of Notts from 1921 to 2005. "A bath? What do I want one of them for?".
Fred's favorite shirt colour seems to be a shade of oil
These are gold!!! Thanks so much for uploading!!!!
No worries
@@Embracing01 I believe Fred was very supportive of the steam apprentice club founded by the national traction engine trust
I would have loved to have known this man,, could you imagine going for a beer with him, you'd never stop smiling.
bloody heck aint fred got enough to do for gods sake . WOMEN .
Fun fact.The tallest brick stack ever built in the UK was actually in Scotland outside Edingurgh.It was over 400 foot and had to be reduced several times due to rotten mortar before eventually being dropped .The tallest stack now is also in Scotland and is 307 feet.(or was)
Thanks for that info I can now sleep safely at night
Hell yeah. Scottish chimneys FTW.
@@chrisbeech4458 I know, right! I fucking hate information too.
Well us Scots are closer to god after all
@@chrisbeech4458 you can’t beat interesting facts lol.
The way he balanced on the scaffolding like it was his living room at 7.20.
Fred is so right about us being like the end of the Roman Empire. Britain was on the downfall as soon as we entered WW1
Another gold digger who let him down
Why did people look so much older back then? Guys in their 50s and early 60s now look mostly so much better!!!! Fit even in some cases
A lifetime of hard manual work
People did look older then. Parents of young children back then looked like they were in their early 40s, yet today they all look like they just left school a week earlier. I suppose alot of blokes in the 80s grew mustache's like Kevin Webster which seemed to be a trend back then, so it probably made em look older. I wouldn't say people are healthier though now, all the crap junk takeaway food and supermarket rubbish which is just processed doesn't help, even the fruit and veg loses its nutrients because it takes so long to get from the field to the shop, but I doubt people are ever going to grow their own food in any time soon.
@@Embracing01 Its a shame what's happened to Fred's belt driven workshop in recent years.
I understand a steam engine magazine called Old Glory did a big news story on the sale of the stuff in the back garden.
I believe the guy wanted 15 pounds for one of Fred's ladders. I don't remember reading any information on what Fred's hand tools and belt driven workshop tools went for.
I understand the guy originally wanted to return Fred's workshop to steam but because they couldn't rise enough money to have a new boiler made. they decided to sell it off.
I hope Fred's tools will be used to repair steam engines.
@@Embracing01 has Kevin Webster still got his moustache and bomber jacket?
Cigarettes, alcohol and shit food.
To be able to say that you worked with Fred Could open up door's otherwise closed to mear mortals. Fred was a all rounder. Well missed buddy, Right said Fred 🍀🇮🇪
What a legend
"Ermaseksuals and kweeerz" 🤣
Holy cow, that Gilnow Mill geezer (9:44) was tall compared to Fred. Just saying.
Haha,I'm sure he's standing in a hole!!
Similar to me and the mrs lol, I’m 6 ft 6 and she’s 4ft 10, the poison dwarf I call her. 😂
In my French village they call me The English Giant, because I stand barefoot at a stagerring 5'8"
😂@@nigelcarren
Lovely!
Well done for these
Cheers
9:32 Fred looks tiny next to the fella he is talking with
Today people would think Jack was Fred's great grandson lol. Lots of people these days who are only in their early 40s and they are already grandparents, probably because they had their kids when they were barely out of school. When I was young a grandparent was someone who looked like a grandparent should look, someone old with grey hair, usually in retirement age between the age of about 55-70, now they're getting younger and younger like the parents. No wonder people think there's too many people in the world lol.
I seriously cant believe what shes saying ,jeeesh it was like this back then!!! Get a job lady ,unbelievable
90/10 for house work but grafting and earning the poppy 100% to nil but he never complained
wow FRED is hitting nails on the head! thank god hes not alive today to witness the decay of society and the sheer contempt for the Eglish culture and history! like he said at the end of the Roman Empire!
Can anyone hear Carnival in Venice without thinking of Fred
Fred's wife took an even keener interest in his bank account I hear 😏
Poor old Fred having to do housework 😂
Fascinating that Rome "went queer and homosexual " and then went downhill never knew that gosh thanks Freddie
Jeeezz he scaled that ladder with no safety rope and it didn’t bother him one bit, 😱.
Thanks
Jacks a funny looking creature
His dad without the 'tache and cap.
Lol yes he does look like his dad bless them both.
Mike Rowe heat your heart out.
What, please was his second wife called?
I hope that all his children got on well together.
Is Fred short or is that guy is an absolute giant at 9:30 ??
The OG steam punk
How tall is that man at 9:25 ?? Or was Fred 4 foot tall ? 😂😂
It’s Joan Collins as Fred called this wife after they divorced…
@@seventeesweremagic I always thought that Fred's first wife that the daughter, or at least the boy with the dark hair (I think he had dark hair) where Fred's children, but apparently they weren't. Must've been from her previous marriage. Nor sure about her daughter, but I'm sure Fred said he had a daughter. I wonder where they all are now?. I'm guessing Sue is still alive as she wasn't that old in this series.
What a guy at least he found his glasses I bet he was happy managing not too piss on his leg
She spent most of her money on Fred's life insurance ,,u know just in case 😳
How tall is that other guy?!!
He's 5' 8". He looks tall cos Fred was 4' 2" in his hob nail boots. Oh aye.
@@jimmy66603 Fred was 5' 7". Same height as Tom Cruise.
That guy talking to fred towards the end of this program his about 7 feet tall or was fred 5 foot tall...
I think that bloke must've been about 6ft 7.
Believe me guys, is much simple to measure using metric system :D
@@pawelwis7215ft and inches>cm & inches
Did you like that
9:30 Harry Potter & Hagrid 😂
8:44 i wish more women were still like this. My best friend married a woman that works 20 hours a week. He works roughly 50(+/-) on the farm. When he walks in the door she hands him a list of chores to do. She says times have changed and refuses to do more than half of the house work. He's weak for putting up with it but she's rotten for doing it to him.
@8:23 I'm in love.
Old Fred didn't hang about picking up the ladies.....
Today he wouldn't stand a chance. Imagine him going on a dating site and putting on his profile "hobbies and interests: stepplejacking and traction engines and anything to do with the industrial age" lol.
@@Embracing01 Hahah yeah right, he would need to grow a massive beard, wear womens jeans and cover himself in tattoos lol
@@Omegaman1969 Beards and tattoos I agree.
@@Omegaman1969 womens jeans 😁😁😁
He certainly didn't . He knew how to pull n pick them !!
Dd'you like tha'?
👏👏👍
I bet he was ripped under those overalls
Fred it wasn’t England but Scotland AKA James Watt who invented the steam engine!
Actually Thomas Newcomen did, but James Watt improved it a lot!
Young crumpet aint all its cracked up
I think hes a frustrated coal miner😂❤
Shame he knocked his wife about
Seems nice, I don't like the homosexual comment though, still stuck in the past with that (as a gay man myself). But otherwise, he seems like a good dude and leads an idealic life.
Rome ruined our world!😂
This is hard to watch pathetic how he let that women tell him what to do
Plenty of women like that. At least Fred's wife seemed decent, Most blokes are married to right bi*ches and control freaks. Today most couples don't stay together for long, divorces are really common now unlike years ago. I think TV plays a big part in the break up of relationships and all the crap they are watching like soaps and realty TV like Love Island where men lust for some the "perfect" woman and all their brainwashing. plus now we have social media which is affecting peoples minds.
@@Embracing01 100% East enders makes them think every man is having affairs
His new Mrs was terrible considering he made her
What happened to sue
Der yer like dat?
