Andrew Marr visits Faringdon Folly for 'Britain from above'

Andrew and the crew visited the Tower on 17th July 2008 together with their helicopter and state-of-the-art camera, buzzing around to capture the beauty of the Tower, woodland and town.
Earlier that day they were filming on the White Horse Hill which is featured in the programme.
