The one of him scaling Nelson's column is genuily scary, no safety harness and a overhang bit at the top! Can't imagine any of today's presenters have the nerve to do anything remotely as daring (or stupid) now!
On the longest ladders I've ever seen. IIRC they were wooden and bowed like a banana,

I remember that one. Safe as houses, he was with the late great Fred Dibnah - epic!
It would have been a relatively portable 16mm film camera for this one - still not one for the faint hearted though!It's the generator engineer in great-coat and tie, shiny shoes gets me. That, an just stuffing an explosive arc-mercury lamp in your jacket.
Also...... easy to forget that there was a cameraman up there as well with a 'portable' camera of the time that would likely have been the size and weight of a fridge!!
Oh dear. Showing my age aren't I??It wasn't Fred Dibnah that.
