Outdoor Britain

[maisie]

For those of us mourning the end of 7 Ages of Rock, there's a chance to hear the fraise-blond Prince of Narration in this gem on TV this week. News of Julian's involvement was shamefully hidden at the very bottom of a page in Radio Times, who had this to say:

OUTDOOR BRITAIN: Real Men (Sun, Mon, Wed, Fri BBC1)
Over four nights narrator Julian Rhind-Tutt salutes the men (and one woman) who work where many would fear to tread, including pylon-climbers and Forth Bridge painters.

Broadcast times seem to vary between 7 & 7.30pm. Shame he can't be persuaded to actually do some presenting - having sinful thoughts about the golden locks blowing artistically in the wind on top of a bridge......

Thanks for that will def be taping that.

A big thankyou for starting my weekend off with the thought of flowing locks

[tutt-sweet]

What a great programme! How brave are those guys eh?

You wouldn't catch me being locked up in an underwater metal chamber for a month at a time for all the tea in China...... tho' if JRT was in there I may just be able to bear it?!!

He narrated beautifully... as only he can.

Looking forward to the other programmes this week enormously.

Really enjoyed the 1st program my family didn't get why I was rushing home to watch until my mum put the tv on and realised it was Julian.

Had to tape last nights cos I had mini mac and even he realised it was Julian so I gave in and watch Bagpuss instead

Managed to catch some of the one last night...he's so brilliant at narration! I don't know if my mum realised it was him but after a while she insisted we watch a DVD instead!

It's funny though because I swear the fact that I'm always listening out to see if advert voiceovers are him has made me quite attuned to picking out other actors too...it's become a sort-of game now!
