The Victorian Gentleman

BBC Two - Fred Dibnah's World of Steam, Steel and Stone, The Victorian Gentleman

Fred admires the engineering, architectural and decorative skills of the Victorians.

Fred Dibnah celebrates the Victorian age, looking at the engineering, architectural and decorative skills of the day.

Fred Dibnah was, by his own admission, a man born out of his time. His era should have been the 19th century. It is the age he admired and the time he would have liked to have lived and worked. This shows how Fred's love for the Victorian age led us to a greater appreciation and understanding of the engineering, architectural and decorative skills of the age.
