The structures that power your television (UK)

Almost all of us watch TV or listen to the radio, and many know where our favourite soaps are made, but how many of us know about a vital cog in the system - transmitting stations?
In the age of catch-up TV and super-fast mobile internet, where many of us are turning to watch our TV, they also provide a mobile signal to millions. They can be taller than skyscrapers, older than The Beatles, and some of them look a bit like the Eiffel Tower.
