Classic Dibnah Enjoyment - Fred Dibnah's: Building of Britain review by PN
Fred Dibnah has always been great to watch for me, I love his enthusiasm and listening to him is like peering through a window to the old times where life was a lot harder but an honest graft was what kept families eating and living. In this series he takes a trip across Britain and takes you back to times long before Fred were't lad, and it's simply fascinating what was achieved prior to computers and modern technology. It should be everyone's duty to learn what it took to make Britain, very good series across 6 episodes.
