Life with Fred (On the Road) part 1 A repeat broadcast from 1995 of the BBC2 series about Bolton Steeplejack Fred Dibnah which was first shown in 1994. Date: Thursday 9th March 1995
Cheers no worries. Abit odd that I'm the only one who has uploaded the full episodes of these series on youtube. There is the odd clip but not the full 30 min eps.
Legend Fred as an American I salut men like you and there kind not many skilled men like em especially nowadays 2024, i wonder if Fred would have liked it now or been frightened 😅
The road junction at 11.58 is only a stones throw from pub where they were drinking at. I worked on a barn conversion on the left at about 12.15 in 2006. Wonder what year this series was filmed ? Early 90s?
11:09 1st Fred's never owned land the council wanted and it's still done today.....crazy miles long go arounds because some ultra rich person wants to keep their parcels intact. Or even worse is the miles out of the way to build near ultra rich people's land for increased value. 2nd Fred doesn't realize those land owner's of old did give away land to their neighbors to build the roads to begin with. There wasn't businesses to tax then and local governments had no money. And no money meant no power.

Wise words Fred

Thanks for posting these tapes really good quality recording
Thanks for that. They look better on my computer as youtube compresses the quality quite abit.
@@Embracing01 Even so, these particular recordings are among the highest quality I've seen on the U-tube!
Fred Dibnah's in the vicar's good book

Its The Victoria Inn at Kirby Malham, still going strong.
Fred never had much money because he charged so little for horrendously dangerous and hard labour jobs
