He was never seen or heard of again, what you might call a Nelson riddle.

The cameraman presumably had to climb up carrying all the equipment as well.

there was a sound man up there too I believe and on the first take they didn't get any sound recorded so had to do it again. Happy carefree times

Sam Panopoulos (83) has PoPped his clogs. He was the Canadian man who invented Hawaiian pizza. Satan or Saint depending on which side of the argument you happen to be on.

RIP

He will have a ring of honour

Not sure if already mentioned, but they had to go straight back up again due to poor sound recording quality:

Minutes earlier, his first attempt had been rendered unusable when a huge gust of wind caught his microphone, and feedback ruined the recording. Director Alex Leger, watching anxiously from the ground as Noakes completed his latest hair-raising challenge, recalls: ‘I had no option but to ask John to do it again. To my surprise and relief, he complied without a murmur of complaint. Not for the first time I marvelled at his courage.’

...'WHAM' before 'WHAM'. Rip Adam West, he made his money wearing his ballies outside a pair of tights but knew it was a bit of fun.

That's sad. Another bit of my childhood gone!

And the theme tune for the series was the best. Remember Batman's mam calling him in for lunch?
Batman, dinner dinner dinner dinner Batman.

RIP.
