This seems tame by comparison, but it's Nigel Buckland (of the sorely missed genius-like 'Vids') on the ferris wheel they put up in Edinburgh at Xmas. He's afraid of heights, swears a lot and coins my new favourite phrase at 1:15:

I'd love to have seen the looks on the faces of those early archaeologists at Pompeii.

Here's a clip about Central Station, mainly the underground stuff. I wish it was a bit longer, but you can't have everything. (The rest of the clips are quite interesting too, this being 3 out of 4.)

Get it sorted, LP.

Like I'd know who he is! I wondered about the arch building thing myself; I figured that was how, uh, arches are built ::):

Anyway, when's the return visit to St Vincent Street Church? :P

Bodies brought back from the First World War? From France? Utter pish.

Part 2 has some nonsense in it as well. Stan Laurel born in Scotland?!?!

The Stan Laurel one is a bit of a howler. I must admit I raised an eyebrow about the WWI bodies thing too, but while we all know almost all of the dead were buried 'over there', were absolutely none of them brought back? (I don't know, just wondering...)
