It's a marvellous thing to have friends who make us laugh-and to be a joker oneself is to hold a privileged position in any society. But schoolboy humour? Isn't that a term of contempt? A group of teenage boys at a Bristol comprehensive school try to find out - and come up with some unusual conclusions and not all are funny.

A series of seven programmes of events in the life and work of Fred Dibnah the Bolton steeplejack
1: The World at Your Feet
Fred acquires the rusted wreck of a second steam engine. On the first he worked for 14 years with a concentration that enraged his waiting customers and drove his wife to threaten divorce. This time he is resolved to neglect neither family nor business and, swinging about like a trapeze artist, he conscientiously erects the scaffolding for a chimney top job that will occupy him for many weeks. But his heart is below with his engine. ' I think all the time about what I'm going to do on it at home tonight. I've solved a lot of problems sitting on the tops of factory chimneys.'
