Hello.

The 90's BBC1 show 'How Do They Do That?' which was hosted by Jenny Hull and Eamonn Holmes/Des Lynam I recall had a special finale feature on the last show of the series where they would perform a stunt and explain how they did it on the first episode of the next series.

I recall the studio being flooded once, and Eamonn Holmes hanging off the side of BBC Television Centre.

Am I imagining things or are my vague memories accurate? Does anyone have any video evidence as well as it would be pretty interesting to see how it looked.

This did happen, yes.
I remember one of them hanging off the 'B' of the then current logo on the side of TVC TC1.

I thought I wasn't going crazy.

I explicitly remember them recreating a 20 ft 'B' in a large studio then hoisted Eamonn up there to dangle off it.

I would love to see this again as I imagine it's pretty laughable now.
