I love most documentaries but this one is brilliant.

Just one detail from documentary... There's a German guy from SKF talking about the design and construction of the gimbal bearings for the pivot point at the top of the lift tower.
They weighed about 14 tons each (from memory) and cost a small fortune to produce.
