Fred Dibnah Erecting Scaffolding (may be GC)
Loved these at the time and now they seem like from another century. (or another further back).
These others show him putting up the ladders
And in this one you see the platform used by the film crew showing the modern way to reach those. heights.

Balls of steel - I was (and still am) in awe of what he did
The programme where he demolished a building by putting in wooden supports and then setting fire to them was incredible - IIRC he stayed in the building until he could tell it was close to collapsing!

I used to be a roofer. But now I get queasy just looking at this kind of thing.

I bet when he reached the top of that thing, he found an old football, a frisbee and some porn.
