Jonathan Foyle's 'Climbing Great Buildings'

Jonathan Foyle's 'Climbing Great Buildings' broadcasted early September 2010. It was aired at 6.30pm BBC2 over a two week period, featured 15 episodes. My favourite one was St Paul's Cathedral, but then again I did miss about half of the series. I think the series is on Youtube, so I must catch up!
