Spurred on by the deterioration of the DVDs of our TV appearances on Restoration Man I have been doing a bit of web surfing to see if there is anything out there which might address the situation and fill some gaps.
In the process I came across this, a compilation of the best tower restorations covered by Restoration Man. Somehow we missed it first time round, or had forgotten about it.
Do have a look at:
http://www.channel4.com/programmes/the-restoration-man/on-demand/58494-016
which covers four tower restorations - ours being the first, as it happens.
Presenter George Clarke is generous enough to describe ours as "One of the greatest restoration projects I've ever seen". That is mighty high praise considering the dozens of projects that Restoration Man covered. I am not at all sure it is fully deserved either, considering the magnificence of so many others. Not least the three other towers covered in the link, some of which encompassed human tragedy and setbacks that we, mercifully, were spared.
