Channel 4 Documentary - Big Ben Restored: The Grand Unveiling

To mark the completion of the restoration of the Elizabeth Tower (named for the late Queen Elizabeth II), Channel 4 broadcast the final part of the series in December 2022 showing the progress done over six years starting from 19 December 2016 when the first works began until the main part of the works were completed on 13 November 2022 when Big Ben started chiming again. Follow the footsteps of all those involved, from parliamentarian clock workers that ensured the clock was dismantled and assembled back correctly, the construction workers who took extra care to preserve and restore as many components as possible, to even scientists and metal workers who discovered the true colour of the clock dials and casted replacements for items that were damaged beyond repair. Narrated by Dr. Anna Kaey, Director of the National Trust. There were three other parts in this Series which were filmed and aired before the COVID-19 pandemic, however, I did not record them at the time.
