Dibnah doing what he did best!

Fills me with admiration and terror in equal measure

Just climbing it was bad enough, but how the hell did he get his ladders up that square chimney?!

The bike suggestion was enough to give me nightmares

I like (re. falling off) 'you only do it once' and 'if you make a mistake up here, it's an afternoon with the undertaker'

[Steamer]

I would freeze (and not literally due to the cold) up there... not to mention probably drop half the planks, bolts, hammers.

That really is skill / art / science and BIG BALLS!

...I got sweaty palms just watching that.

[Cheeky Jim]

+1 on the sweaty palms.. lordy that's a difficult job!

Proper legend he was - showed such an appreciation for all things mechanical - a proper Pistonheader if ever there was one!

• edit to say, I'm going to get nowt done today watching Fred repeats on Youtube!

It just makes you realise what an engaging character he was, very forthright, but honest and interesting. Makes knobs like Ross and Brand really highlight what shallow waster's they really are.
