Thanks for posting that one. I haven't seen it before. I watched a multi-part series on him a while back which focused on his high-chimney work, especially the way he rigged his ladders. It's truly amazing the way he scampers around up there hundreds of feet in the air as if he's just a couple feet off the ground.

Fred was amazing.
Saw him in person well I watched him from a distance..... demolish a Factory Chimney in Halifax Yorkshire in the 1970's

Kind of hard to watch all that properly because they're SO much of it on youtube, disjointed and incomplete. I kept watching the ones linked above and finished episode 6. Searched for episode 7, started watching it, and this uploader's episode 7 is much either in the series, but something that wasn't in the first uploads videos, though it's definitely part of that same BBC series. Strange.

The more I look, it seem like there's days worth of content rated to him.
