@@Embracing01 anytime pal and I have already shared the link for your UA-cam for others to enjoy checking out what you have added :) 1 episode that I haven't been able to find was the 8th episode from the 1st series, "A Disappearing World, which aired in 1984, but hopefully someone of the non briefcase Boneheads at BBC will have the brains to dig out that episode and have some way of posting it on here, somehow.
@@WillieDines1 Cheers for that:). I don't remember that first series, for some reason we never taped that one. I've seen the series he made before he died which was aired in 2005 on youtube (Made in Britain). I have the original broadcast of that, but I think the one Ive seen on youube maybe from the DVD release as it's in a strange wide stretched picture, and my recording is in full-screen with black bars at the top and bottom. Not the best of recordings, as like most of my recordings they have suffered terribly over the years through wear and tear.
Thank you that's nice of you to say. I wish the quality was better than it is, but sadly the tapes they were recorded on (like most of my old VHS tapes) have suffered badly over the years through tape wear and so on. I stilll have the oroginal tapes and wil keep hold of them. I do try to capture my recordings in the best quality possible, but it sometimes depends on the recorder. Tip: always a good idea to get a VCR with a TBC (time base corrector) on it which can be handy if you have jumpy tapes that the machines tracking can't stabilise, and also a good idea to capture using an S-video input rather than using composite cables. Panasonic VHS/DVD combi's are good machines to do this, and use a decent capture device and not a cheap chinese knock-off.
Because it's from 1994. Top Gear back then was a proper motoring series, long before it became the reality TV crap it became with Hammond and May and Clarkson and all the stupid things they did.
@@Embracing01 I remember watching Clarkson firing Tornado on tv. he should have known that they wouldn't let him drive the new A1 steam loco. I would think Fred would have loved to have a ride on Tornado if he had lived a little bit longer.
His absolute zero fooks for fear is truly unbelievable and can be nothing but applauded 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you very much for sharing these, you are an absolute legend.
Thanks
@@Embracing01 anytime champ and already I'm pretty sure 1000's of Fred Dibnah fans will appreciate it too 😎👍
@@WillieDines1 Thanks for that.

I’ve actually started doing a bit of washing up 😂 only Fred. Absolute legend
A real legend of a man .🌹
Doing it without a beer… absolutely out of the question 😂
"High heels aren´t quite the answer, are they?" "No, people might get a wrong idea."
😆😆😆
Necking cans of Holsten Pils whilst driving a road train. 🤣 We miss you Fred
Superb. I must admit that seeing Fred Dibnah drinking Holsten Pils reminds me of when i saw Ray Mears using a disposable lighter..
Love ole fred
Love these episodes of fred
Fred was the man.
10 years left in him at this point ! Died too young
Or the right time for him to go.
Thinking it was a simple joke about the creeper along the tower then seeing Dibnah abseiling down with a poker hahahaha that's so classic! 👌
Legendary.
Thank you 😊
Things were so much nicer then
A lost simplicity
Gentler times.
I just subbed to help you get to 1k . Thanks for sharing. Fred was certainly a interesting character. Cheers mate.
Cheers for the sub:)

Well done mate
Airing later, top gear. Progression of time, innit?

@@Embracing01 But at least Janet Trewin was no longer in it...!
Who's the Ponce ?
Bro legit complaining about owning a castle.
Talk about 1st world mindset😢
How do you own a castle was it his family's way back ?
Great guy,but a bit of a narcissist by the sound of it at times though.
When do you ever hear this guy sound like that. I've never heard that analysis before.
