Do you have a phobia of heights? No? Would you like one?
Living with Danger was a TV series centred on folk who were ordinary in every way except one - they risked their lives in the course of their daily work. This episode - The Higher The Fewer - followed the steeplejacks, builders and demolition crews that worked at great heights, often with little more than a ladder and sturdy shoes.
The workers explain how they try to take the danger in their stride, and one crew member shows how he climbs ladders with an injured leg that won’t bend.
Not for the fainthearted.
Excerpt taken from Living With Danger: The Higher the Fewer, originally broadcast on BBC Television, Friday 15 August 1958.
