I may be the last person to know about this, but BBC Two is currently airing a show called Climbing Great Buildings, in which architectural historian Jonathan Foyle explores great buildings by climbing all over them, aided and abetted by top British climber Lucy Creamer.

Okay, it's mostly rope access techniques rather than free climbing, and the focus is on the architecture, but it's still charming, particularly for anyone who's caught themselves eyeing up nearby buildings.

Anyone who's in the UK or can access BBC iPlayer can catch up with the eps here:

It can also be found outside of the UK on eztv.it for those who are willing to go that route.
