-pops- Posted March 4, 2005 Report Share Posted March 4, 2005 For fans of Fred, his new series of his last journey* starts on BBC2 next Tuesday 8-30pm.* He gets his steam roller on the road and travels down to Buckingham Palace to collect his gong.

I'll be watching it.Chris, as you worked with Fred, can you tell me: remember those excellent engineering drawings that he had on his programmes. Did he do them himself?I did engineering drawing at "O" level and my teacher, Mr McNaughton (strange how you remember these name from so long ago) came from Bolton. His style of drawing was very much like that on Fred's programmes and a bit of it passed to me - not nearly as good, of course. Nowadays, though, with the joints seizing up, I have difficulty signing cheques, never mind drawing :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
