Well done. I never would have thought I’d enjoy a show entirely about bridges but he makes it so interesting.

Dan Cruickshank was absolutely the right presenter for this video. The subject is fascinating anyway, but his infectious enthusiasm made it very exciting to watch.

A terrific documentary. The old London Bridge must've been a fantastic spectacle and a busting thoroughfare connecting both banks of the river.

Somewhat surprised to see Dan Cruickshank didn't crash while driving. He's so estatic looking at bridges that I half expect him to veer off the road in his excitement.

The Thames is called the Isis in Oxford. At the head of it is a Pub called “The Swan”. The stone floor upon which one stands to order repast at the service window has a very noticeable declevity because it is over 800 years old. Go there!

anything Dan does is fantastic. he is raw energy in any project.

I will watch anything Dan Cruikshank presents as his enthusiasm, knowledge and love of history and architecture come shining through in a way few other presenters manage.

The history beneath our feet is so rich and complex. The medieval London Bridge is a testament to the ingenuity and resilience of our ancestors. It's a shame we've lost so much of the historical architecture to modern development.

After many years, I finally got the opportunity to see the London Bridge in Arizona. It was Christmas time, a cold crisp night in the desert. I took time to really gaze upon it and wonder what it would have been like to experience this bridge while looking upon the old medieval bridge before its demise. Truly, a unique experience to drive across this old bridge. I can't believe that it was dismantled, brick by brick and put back together.

Since we recently sent the ashes of our parents down a creek, which eventually leads to Hudson Bay, I find the notion that rivers are sacred quite natural.

I needed something pithy after watching shorts. This is so wonderful and surprising with its revelations. I’d love to see a similar documentary on Paris bridges!

Ammersmith is a beautiful bridge.
As an Australian, I have been truly blessed to get mud larking permits for sections of the Thames.
Some of my best finds sit in the British Museum collections department, not worthy of display, but still significant in a small way.
It is a river that requires special consideration.

I absolutely love this man's enthusiasm for bridges. His euphemistic description for his passion between @1:45-1:55 is precious... he's trying so hard not to tell you the bridge is giving him wood but he just can't contain himself.
As a fellow bridge fetishist, i'm genuinely gleeful to watch a fellow nerd be amazed--nay, stimulated!--by architecture. :)

Always wanted know more about this unique bridge.
Even though I’ve never lived in or visited London.
Everyone is fascinated with Tower Bridge but, London Bridge is the one that really made the city what it is.

I was stationed in Augsburg in the early 80’s. It was really wonderful to participate in German cultural life in Southern Bavaria and make acquaintances with many German civilians. I really felt like I was doing something important with people that shared many of the same ideals. We were really proud to share our culture during German-American festivals. My unit ran the “Corn-on-the-cob” concession which was immensely popular with the German visitors. Seeing how the Germans organized their society changed our own views of America. So many Americans had this opportunity that they probably never would have had because of income or because of their own upbringing. It was such a positive thing. The vast majority of us had no feeling of superiority or of being occupiers. For example, most of us felt that the Bundeswehr was so professional. The many service members that married a German spouse is a real unifying force! Thanks for bringing back many great memories.

Love Dan Cruikshank. I love how he loves architecture and art. Thanks for posting this.

If you look over the side at low tide London Bridge Station end, you can see remains of the old bridge foundations embedded in the mud, it’s very visible with wood showing the outlines of the pier foundations and you can see the direction the bridge went not line the current one of today is. I’d love to go mudlarking there, would be amazing finds no doubt!

It's wonderful to see documentaries that celebrate the achievements of the West. There is much to be proud of.

Dan Cruickshank made the best series of history documentaries ever shown on UK television in my opinion. I saw the original of this one on TV years ago - it has been a treat to stumble upon it once again.
