Customer Reviews

Rivetting Viewing
For anyone who knows which end of a screwdriver is which! Fred Dibnah should be considered as a national treasure. Comical, yet informative, his style of presenting brings the ( some might say dull !! ) subject of industrial engineering to life.
Freds enthusiasm for bricks, bolts, hammers and flywheels is infectious and if you have the slightest interest in anything mechanical then this and his other presentations are essential viewing. I defy you not to relish watching and listening to his superbly crafted material.

Amazing
If you think that Fred Dibnah's Youtube clips are interesting, you will like this too. The highlight for me was his detailed demonstration as to how he puts up all those ladders on the chimney.
It's the real thing.

FRED AT HIS BEST !
This is Fred at his absolute best - doing the job he loved. His enthusiam just shines through when talking about chimneys. Very interesting with his usual lovely touches of humour. A must for anyone who loved Fred.
