Life with Fred (Early Days) part 1 A repeat broadcast from 1995 of the BBC2 series about Bolton Steeplejack Fred Dibnah which was first shown in 1994. Date: Thursday 2nd March 1995
Fred is so full of interesting story's and since I was a child he has always kept me entertained. The passing of this man was heart breaking he was a national tresure god bless u Fred
I'm from the US, and I've watched every video of Fred I could find over the years. Regardless of nationality, anyone who has made their living in the weather, breaking hard things, lifting heavy things, all our clothes stained, can fully identify with fred on a deeper level. I've done high work, but never climbed smoke stacks, yet I still feel like I knew him.
I only saw the later tv series when he was the tv personality not the tv subject. I didn't know that he had a model stationary steam engine as a little lad.
None of them were any good. His first wife left him and cleaned him out. His second wife left him for another man and again took fred for what he had. His third wife was a gold digger but after being burned by the first two he left her nothing. He was a legend and may he rest in peace.

I remember having a tin bath in front of the fireplace.
Ooooooh, luxury. We didn't even have a tin bath.......or a fireplace.
So do I - and my father washing my face with a sponge and shoving soap up my nose..... almost 65 years ago now.

As fred would say
Did.yah like that
I can imagine Fred after being intimate with one of his wives "Did yer like that" 😊
Fred must have been an animal in the sack,still knocking them out at 50, and his birds were younger and fairly attractive too. Get Up Fred
50 is closer to a males physical prime than 25
Suzy is nice, i liked Allison, Fred is a REAL character!! He is a very good story teller! 👍👍
It was really heartbreaking for Fred when Sue left him and rejected the lifestyle she knew he was into before marrying him.
She’s one of the early ‘modern feminist.’
Classic nowadays.
Be sad for her kids she disrupted for a whim
Fred Dibnah - the last of the Victorians
I remember going down a river in one!
Brilliant
he was lucky not to have got hurt from playing with steam pressure
Nothing good comes from social workers
'Ere, take this brat, I am off to do some work.
I'd like to know what other books were in Fred's library.

Does anyone know which were Dear Fred's best wives, I would guess his first and second wife was the best, the third wife seems a dragon.
None of them were any good. His first wife left him and cleaned him out. His second wife left him for another man and again took fred for what he had. His third wife was a gold digger but after being burned by the first two he left her nothing. He was a legend and may he rest in peace.
