Bbc Archive: The Neighbour Who Endangered His Whole Street

[Mr Bloke 1,445]

This video has just popped up on my YouTube feed and I thought a few of you might be interested.

 

 

Check out the comments section for a good giggle -  it's brilliant!

My particular favourite is the reply to someone's comment of "I’d love to see a follow up to this, like what became of the house and what is he doing now".

The first reply was "He is now in charge of the planning department." - Marvellous stuff!

I remember him, Calamity Chris.

His poor neighbours.

Does anyone know the outcome of this ?

"To a large extent it's circumstances beyond my control, and there's not a lot I can do about that".

 

The cheek of it! I'd love to know how long it took for the next door neighbours to sell their house.

We were sent to sort out the Dangerous structure . We re laid the drains and put back the services , Chris did not take to us at all , We had to have assurances from the council that he would be delt with if he kept interfering .

His swimming pool project we filled with many mitres of concrete . I rather liked the lad although he was a bit strange .

We called him Pitsmoor mole .

Did the house and drive ever get finished?

Yes it did , but I i do not think it was by him , we re instated the drains , and made the building safe , re established the passage way and so on . The man in charge was not the man shown on film , It was Vic Spivey a  surveyor from the Town Hall . 

The council paid us so I presume  they charged the Pitsmoor mole . We had the police in attendance a couple of times due to interference by others ,

It's still standing.  No car port though.
