1977: Replacing a WINDOW Pane: Richard Stilgoe's DIY MASTERCLASS | Nationwide | BBC Archive

"Climbing up a ladder in the pouring rain... can be a bit too John Noakes for some people."

Broken window? Fret not, Richard Stilgoe is here to demonstrate just how easy it is to replace a window yourself. All you need is a pair of gloves, measuring tape, some putty, a few glazing sprigs, a chisel and a friendly glass merchant.
