Series Description
In this series we leave the bustling streets far below, as our hosts Charlie Luxton and Keith Keaveney, are taken on a guided tour by the world’s bravest window washers, rediscovering some of the boldest and most ambitious examples of architecture; from the ancient and historic to the recent and risky.
In each show the presenter meets someone whose relationship with an incredible example of architecture is a lot more intimate than yours and mine. We get an inside glimpse, seeing the world from a fresh perspective. The feats of engineering and dedication to detail are often lost at hundreds of feet above eye-level.
When first built these glittering monoliths and historic constructions were gasped at and applauded, but from ground level much of the intricate engineering and design flare is lost to the skies. We rediscover these incredible works of architectural art – old and new – at close range.

| Sears Tower, Chicago Still the tallest tower in the US – as well as the tallest building in the world for 25 years – the $175million Sears Tower broke boundaries in not only height but design and construction when it was completed in 1973. But building the tallest building in the world brings its own logistical headaches – and the crippling cost of funding an iconic tower can take its toll. Presented by Keith Keaveney.
