It was on 4OD (Channel 4 On Demand) for a few weeks after its first transmission in February, then it was routinely removed. Now that it has had a number of repeats it has been listed for viewing anytime once again.
The TV programme has brought about a remarkable amount of interest with an almost constant stream of people taking photographs of the tower.
Because it is located in such a public place, alongside a busy railway station, attention is inevitable - and so far as we are concerned, it is really quite encouraging.
Yesterday, I was gardening in the evening sunshine when I noticed a couple taking photographs and taking obvious interest. They were still there half an hour later when I approached the station drive. We exchanged pleasantries and eventually the man said "I expect you have guessed - we are Tele-Tourists".
A degree of interest on first transmission was expected. As the tourist season hots up, interest is definitely increasing. Feed-back is 100% positive from visitors. It is rather odd to have coach loads of total strangers shouting "Hello Mark"!
