Fred Dibnah - The Lost Years trailer

Excalibur Productions brings you this trailer for our forthcoming presentation of 'Fred Dibnah: The Lost Years'. When the BBC stopped filming what the late steeplejack and television personality Fred Dibnah amusing called "The Fred Dribble Saga", the great man himself asked us to film the continuation of it. The result is now finally completed and features the story of his life with Sheila, his charismatic widow, his later work and passion for his back garden, his final chimney drop, and his battle with cancer.

This series was screened in March 2011 in Bolton at the Central Library Lecture Theatre. The turnout was somewhat disappointing but we are still hoping to acquire some television interest before releasing the series on dvd. Thank you for your patience. Do continue to leave comments. The more positive comments about wanting to see the series, the better chance we will have of getting it screened on television. Thanks.

Series created by Nick Wilding, with filming and editing by Tristan Haley, Kathryn Johnson, Mark Standley, Jode Stansfield, Gabriel Wilding.

Trailer edited by me, Gabriel Wilding.

Music used in trailer - 'Keen Enough' - by Gavin Courtie and Liz Radford of Notepad Music.

It looks fascinating, I would love to see these films. Do you know if there will be a DVD release in the future?

[GTJWilding]

@4468 Thanks for showing an interest. We are still putting the finishing touches on the episodes and the first screening of the 1st two episodes is tomorrow. In short, we haven't thought that far ahead yet. We are hoping to get full houses for the showings to use as proof that there is a potentially large television audience for our material. We hope to release the series on dvd in the future.

It would be nice to see this released. Some colleagues of mine from Sweden are over in Yorkshire working and asked about him as they had seen video over there

Explained he was a Lancastrian from over the hills but saddly no more

I remember his first Tv debuts in the 70s even got to see him take a chimney down in the early 90s at at the old co op dairy in leicester
