Building Cars: Secrets of the Assembly Line

Documentary

Documentary

James May, Kate Humble and Ant Anstead go under the bonnet of a UK car industry that rolls a brand new vehicle off the production line every 20 seconds. At one of the biggest and busiest car factories in the world - the MINI Plant in Oxford - the presenters see a car built from scratch in about 24 hours to reveal the science, engineering and workforce behind the manufacturing process. The programme also explores the evolution of global mass production, busts the myth that British manufacturing is dead, and sees how design becomes reality.
