Original subtitles

This happens all the time you take a car back.

Yeah, regularly.

Alright, Richard, give it the full majesty of your mind

and I will leave you in your teenage bedroom.

It would be quite nice if we became, workshop to the stars!

Hello, how are you?

Aha! This is superb.

It's nearly three years

since the Smallest Cog opened its doors.

The business still owes me a fortune.

I've been hiding bank statements.

I'm basically running a social club!

So, it's time for a big shake-up.

Clock in in the morning, clock onto a job.

The dawn of a new era.

But not everyone likes change.

I am very nervous about all of it.

This isn't gonna tell me what to do! I'll tell you that for nothing.

We make history

with our most important restoration yet.

Did Montgomery or Churchill ever imagine you sitting in it?

Probably not.

The work must be completed on time.

Oh, she's eager!

Can we race into a bright new future?

With me at the wheel?

Oh, oh, oh, oh!

Today is gonna be a good day.

The Rolls Royce is out of our hair

so now it's my chance to prove

that we can get this workshop working.

Morning. Morning, lads, alright?

First job of the day, a bit of a tidy up.

Normally first job is cup of tea.

Shall we work up a bit of a thirst first?

Alright, I'll crack on.

I've been brought in to manage the place.

But at the moment I've probably spent 90% of my time

on the workshop floor with the Rolls Royce and stuff.

Richard's passion is the classic car market.

The problem with that is they just take so long to do.

We had to hire more people for the Rolls Royce

obviously to get it done.

So, now the overheads have gone up I want to bring in more smaller,

quick turnaround jobs and hopefully we can make a bit of profit on them.

Morning.

Here we are.

Ha-ha-ha!

What is he doing in that?

What's this?

I'll tell you what this is, mate.

This is a golden opportunity for you.

This chap Alex has bought this and if you look closely,

the engine, the chassis and the back wheel

is like a really orangey yellow.

Yeah, yeah.

They painted the front wheel the wrong colour

and he wants to get it looking as it should look.

We could do loads of these.

This could be the start of something big.

So, Neil's just brought a tractor in.

That's the total opposite to what we want in the shop.

Number one, it's a big vehicle.

And number two, when we strip it all,

we've got nowhere for all the panels to go

so it's gonna be getting all in the way on the floor.

It's just gonna be a nightmare.

It seems like the Cogs at the moment,

they just bring any vehicle in they possibly can find.

What's next? Maybe a Boeing 747.

This is my mate Zog's Morgan.

It needs a service,

and I'd like to do just a little bit more than that as a favour.

What's the point of having a workshop

if you can't do a mate a favour with their car?

That said, I'm not entirely sure that the workshop manager, Jamie,

is gonna see it that way.

What have we got? It's called a Morgan.

I don't know if you've seen one of these before.

They're quite a popular old car. I've seen a few.

How many years did you work there?

19, just over.

19 years working on this, right?

Well, this particular one

belongs to one of my oldest and dearest friends, Zog Ziegler.

I know him because, like, 30 years ago,

I took on doing a radio show in Lancashire,

and they said, right, Richard here's your regular guest.

Zog Ziegler is a funny fella.

He does like a car review and I got chatting to Zog

and I thought that's...

I want to do what he does.

That's my dream job. So, then I did.

He wants a service. Yeah.

But once you see... Look, look, look.

If you go over it there's quite a few little scuffs.

It's had a life.

I'm just thinking what I'd like to do.

Make it look lovely.

And it's a bit...and it's a bit of a surprise for him.

I'll be honest, in his capacity as head of PR global.

I've paid him...

Damn all, so this will be his thank you.

Well, paint's not cheap, as you know.

No.

We're gonna have to pay for paint materials.

Yeah.

Since you've sort of joined and you're doing more

of the, you know, everyday day to day managerial stuff

it's a lot easier 'cause I can just waft in.

What are you gonna say when I leave?

OK. Don't say it in front of me.

Alright, Jamie, thank you.

I'm gonna leave it in your capables.

Yeah. No problem.

OK. He'll be pleased.

You'll make an old man very happy.

The trouble with Zog's Morgan is

we're never gonna make no profit out of that.

I worked there for 20 years so I know this ain't a quick job,

it's gonna take some time.

Rusty bolts, stuff snapping off, it's not what we want right now.

It's just gonna be impossible to make the company any money

if we keep bringing stuff like this in.

In the spirit of trying to find some decent paid work

and frankly, to keep Jamie off my back,

I've dug into my showbiz contact book.

So, this is gonna be our second celebrity client.

It's not Nick Mason and his Ferrari GTO.

That's a shame.

It is the lovely Debbie McGee who has a Mercedes SL.

It got damaged in a flood at her house

but she's desperately attached to the car.

She loves it, so I want you to be on your best behaviour.

Maybe try and engage brain before engaging mouth.

It's not in me. I-I-I tried before.

I want her to think we are slick professionals,

not what we actually are, which is something else.

Here's a door. There we go.

Hi, guys.

Hello. How are you? Nice to see you.

Thank you for coming over.

Thank you for having us. Pleased to meet you.

What a beautiful place to live.

Thank you. It is.

Right on the river, it's breathtaking.

I love it here.

Except sometimes the river comes a little bit too close.

Yes, on one occasion it was in the river.

This year. Yeah.

And so my poor little car has had a bit of river damage.

Let's have a look. Yeah. Come on.

Right. So, are you ready for this?

Yes. We are braced and ready.

Ooh.

Can we go and have a look?

Please do.

It's solid, isn't it?

Which makes it all the more cruel that it got damaged in the flood.

I know, I've really looked after it.

I've had it over 25 years now.

It's got an engine... Yeah.

..that's been damp obviously.

How high did the water come up?

So, up to about halfway up the wheel.

Right, what we probably should do is have a look

at the problem area and this is the issue

we've been drafted in to resolve.

Yes. Oh. Oh, dear.

Oh, that has suffered.

I know, I know, it's awful, isn't it?

And I didn't want to touch it in case I hurt it more.

Yeah. You actually shouldn't because of all the spores and stuff.

Yeah.

So, the only way to go in is with a special protective suit,

and I could only get one...

Oh. ..and it's in Neil's size.

One? You don't mind, do you?

Sorry. It's quite dangerous. Yeah.

Shall we go for a walk? Mould and spores.

We'll go for a walk in the garden? Yes! We'll do that.

While you do your thing. Yeah.

You put your... You know.

Yeah, fine.

In the back here it looks like a mouse has been in there

and had a bit of a party.

It's used it as its loo.

Oh, there's more.

Oh, there's no bottom of the seat.

It's all been eaten.

There's no seat padding left.

There's definitely something in here, isn't there?

So, a freebie has turned

into an even bigger job by the looks.

He's gone through that first layer.

Yeah, he's gone through there.

I think the inner's OK, but he's still destroyed it

and then he's ate that as well.

And you've got to buy them. Can't repair that.

Why is it every job we do just seems to get bigger and bigger?

It's just classic car craft isn't it?

There's always something.

Oh, well, let me get it done.

I've always loved cars, and it was my dream car.

Oh. No, no, no, no, no.

And I told Paul on my 30th birthday,

he had ten years to save up to buy me one.

Oh, it's in the electrics, it's in there.

This is not good.

It's like it's been washed up at sea.

And then on the morning of my 40th birthday, he said,

"Close your eyes," and he opened the garage door.

Oh. I don't like that.

There was my Mercedes and he went "There's the keys."

I thought I could smell something.

You kind of want a bit more than an air freshener in here.

So, it has especially fond memories for you of Paul.

Oh, absolutely, I love everything about that car.

Obviously the emotional attachment to Paul, it fits me.

I love that huge steering wheel.

And I've always loved the cream interior.

Except it's not cream at the moment.

No, it's definitely not.

Here he is. Look.

You look like a cartoon character.

Well, I've just come out of surgery with the patient.

And then it's quite bad, to be honest.

I think the seats, the carpet's definitely got to go.

Perhaps the door cards.

But I'm pretty confident, mechanically,

it will be good so I think it is salvageable.

Oh. Oh.

I want to hug you but I can't.

I know. I can soon get this off.

It won't take me a minute, you hold on there.

I would never have given up on this car.

The insurance company wrote it off,

but my brain was going like, what can I do?

Who can I go to?

I want to show you a little magic trick

I learnt years ago.

You'll be impressed. Watch this.

Neil. Go. I've never seen that!

Leave Debbie alone!

I cannot believe you did your thumb trick

to Debbie McGee.

She liked it. Did she?

And the thing is, we could be the garage to the stars.

Well, exactly. Next stop, Hollywood.

We've got to make this racing thing work,

both on the track, but just as importantly, off the track.

And when I say we, me, I have I'm the boss.

We originally started racing to attract quick turnaround jobs

from racers who prang their cars and the like and I've got an idea

for how to maybe kick-start that process.

Kamla! I wanted to talk to you about racing.

You remember why we started was to bring in jobs?

The fast turnaround, race work.

It's a mobile advert. And...

You brought in one job, Richard?

But the problem I had there,

Neil doesn't like quick turnaround jobs.

He likes long, drawn out, craft jobs.

But now we've got new people in place.

Yes, great to meet the team, the new team. Well done.

That's what they...that's what they will do.

They will do those quick jobs.

So, we're racing again but I'm driving.

That means I'm not available to do

the really important bit of the races,

the reason we're at the races,

which is to go out and try and drum up that work.

How would you feel about touring the pits and the garages...

Right.

..and talking to people to see if you can drum up some work?

You're the logical person to do it.

I would love to, because more than anyone,

I want some money coming in.

So, deal? Good idea? Put it there.

Good deal.

While he's busy on the track, having fun,

I'm happy to have a walk around the paddock,

hand some of these cards out and do my part.

I'm actually really looking forward to Silverstone.

I love racing. Don't tell Richard.

Right, that's the business side of Silverstone sorted.

Now, for the fun part.

Uhm, basically, I'm trying to play it cool

because I know Father Christmas has been.

I saw him and it's up there and now I'm gonna give it a go!

Ha-ha.

Oh, look at you!

Thing is, my race at Silverstone is only a few days away now

and compared with the one race I've already done at Oulton Park

it's a massive step up.

It's just a huge track.

So, my hope is this is gonna help,

the professionals use a version of this exact simulator to train

for real so I'm hoping this is gonna give me the edge!

There it is. That's my car!

So, put it in gear.

I'm driving. I'm leaving the pits.

I'm in my MGB GT and it feels unbelievably real.

The whole rig moves when I, ooh, with the car.

Oh, I was in completely the wrong place there

and basically stopped.

Right.

I've got to put this on.

It might look a bit silly and if Mindy finds me,

I'll die of shame.

But there's no point having a car exactly like the car,

if when I get in it, I'm thinking, "Oh, what's this on my head?"

Right.

The aim is, I'll set myself a best lap time on here,

and then I'll know what I should be going for on the day,

on the real track.

When you see, like Formula One drivers

and that they're always like in the gym.

It's all about being mentally aware and quick reactions

and all that isn't it, that's what it's about.

Yeah. Silverstone is a very demanding track.

It's the longest circuit in the UK.

So, I've got to be mentally and physically prepared.

I'm not built for running.

I've tried running. Yeah.

Not for me.

So, less impact, more fun, rowing. Right.

Hopefully this will be the turning point into the fitness

and the better Ant for racing.

Charlie. How are you, mate?

Hi there, Anthony. How are you?

Dad, Neil. Hello, Charlie, nice to meet you.

So, will this actually help me then with racing?

Absolutely.

Rowing uses about 86% of your muscles so brilliant.

86?

I don't think I've ever used 86% of my muscles in one time.

Do they come with bigger seats than that?

I don't think so.

Alright. Two, three, above heads.

I'm feeling strong, Charlie.

What worries me about that is 86% of Antony's muscles

are in his mouth so he might have a bit of a problem here.

If I fall in, Charlie, you're in the blame, alright?

Whoa, missed the seat.

Can you stop laughing as well, Sir?

You hold tight on those blades.

Oh, I'm on them.

I'm proud of that boy.

I think his boat's got a flat tyre. Looks a bit low effort to me.

Pop your blades on the water for me.

Raise our hands up. Alright?

That's the catch.

Oh, it's backwards, man.

And then off the finish... Yeah?

..you're gonna twist it away from you.

Oh, my god, this is harder than I thought.

I thought I'd be quite good at this.

It takes a couple of weeks, to be honest.

And you're doing fast track.

I'm not so worried about the fitness side,

but knowing my way around Silverstone is more of an issue.

Right, I'm now on a timed lap.

Aah! I shouldn't have gone for a second there.

That should have been third.

301.

No, no. Done it again.

I've never once got this right.

255.

Oh, now I'm stuck on 257.

Right, I seem to be settling around about...

255 is a fast time for me.

257 is a slow time.

That's between those two.

I have got a huge problem with village corner.

But that was time well spent.

Now, I've got a headache.

It's not very racing drivery, is it?

Push from your legs.

Push from your legs.

Come on.

I want to get home for my tea. Come on.

Zone your dad out.

I'm trying to.

That's it. That's it. Well done.

Getting the hang of it now though, isn't he?

Got a good bit of rhythm there.

That's going well.

Doing well Anthony, there.

I know I'm taking the mickey but hell, he was going well there.

He's picked that up absolutely a treat.

So, if we keep going, then where do we end up? Chepstow?

Out to sea.

Off to France. Yeah.

Wait for me.

Slow down, Anthony. Wait.

2

Ever since my landlord, Hadrian,

loaned us fabricator Matt to help finish Monty's Rolls,

I've owed him a big favour.

Today, I'm repaying the dead.

Well, kind of.

I want you to consider today as my treat.

It is my thank you for giving us Matt

which is very decent of you.

Hadrian is a passionate steam enthusiast,

which turns out is rather handy.

It's busy isn't it?

See how popular it is. Everybody's here.

Oh, yeah, there's Taylor Swift.

She's come for a look.

Here we go. See, this is Grosmont.

Look, there's a steam thing doing, you know, steam stuff.

Look at that. Look at that.

I've organised a special tour with the man in charge

of the steam engines.

How are you doing? Alright. Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you. Piglet. Hi, how are you doing?

Alright? Nice to meet you. Welcome to the engine shed.

And yes, you heard right. His name is 'Piglet'!

Right, can we have a look around?

Yeah. Come in. Have a look around, yeah.

So, Piglet, how many fusible plugs have you got

in the firebox in there?

Generally we have two in a firebox, front and back.

What's a fusible plug?

It's the ultimate safety device,

it's the "put the fire out, lose the energy."

There is a test at the end of this,

just so you know, so you need to be paying attention.

Right, fusible plugs!

There's the engine for the 130.

Whoa!

Oh, my word.

As steam engines go, this is about as big as it gets.

Are we going on this? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

You're gonna get in a cab

and you're gonna go down the station.

So, just up here. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

This is only doing 25 miles an hour.

What it must be like

when these things are flat out, 80, 90 mph.

Shovelling coal in as fast as you can

and feeding it what it needs to make the energy to drive.

In the door.

It's bloody hot.

Put your back into it, man.

Are you alright with that?

Yeah, lovely.

Only way to travel.

So, the Morgan, we've stripped it all down.

All the wings and that are off now.

Callum is just about to sand it all off and get it ready for primer.

If see there... See where that crack is?

Yeah.

That's sealer, so it's sealed all the way around,

so we'll have to dig that out.

This Morgan is turning into a bit of a nightmare,

the problem with them being, to take the wings off

you have to take virtually the whole car apart.

In the boot you have to take all the boot liner

out to get to the badges and stuff like that.

Of course we're not making any money at all

so the longer it takes the more it eats into our budget.

This is stunning.

Yeah!

And it's my second favour for a friend this week

although this one comes with fringe benefits.

Right, H, I'm gonna get off

and just take a quick photograph of the train.

Ha-ha.

And here is my ulterior motive,

my cunning reason for this whole expedition.

I needed to get up here because I recently bought this car.

I couldn't get up to collect it,

but they said they could deliver it here to the train station

for me to collect.

It's a 1964 Opel Kadett Caravan,

basically an estate version of the car

I already own called Oliver.

Oh, look at you.

You're even prettier than the pictures.

We're going in a minute.

Did he say anything to you?

No.

Oh, right.

I'm gonna leave Hadrian to have fun on the train

and go for a little drive.

We're going now so your mate's had it.

We can't leave him here.

Well, I got to go.

I don't understand why he ain't come back, you know?

I just don't get that.

Right, now according to my map calculations,

this is the perfect spot to complete my cunning and brilliant plan.

Wa-heey!

So long, mate.

Thanks for the lift.

What the bloody hell is he doing there?

Thanks for the lift. I'll see you in Hereford.

He won't mind that. He's gonna be OK.

He's having a great day out and I got a lift.

It's a win-win.

Exactly!

I've given him a lift all the way up here

and he's arranged for this and he's gone off

'cause he knows he's picked up a bloody car.

I can't believe that.

Chaps!

Behold!

What's he doing now?

That is Daphne.

And it's an estate Oliver.

Is it or is it not brilliant?

Where did you find that?

Auction. I've had a brilliant idea.

I am gonna drive this car to the south of France

for my holiday this summer.

You know how far that is?

It's 1,000mi. 2,000mi there and back.

I'm trying to get the lads to be clocking on jobs at the moment

so we can allocate work to them and see where we are,

hours wise and then, typical Hammond turns up

and they're having a chit chat.

I want you to go through it.

It needs brakes, I think there's a clutch issue.

There's a bit of lash in the drive train, it needs a radio fitting.

We could do that. Right, it's yours.

Enjoy. I'll leave her with you.

And to cap it all off.

They're off bloody racing tomorrow.

Is this a workshop or not?

We're throwing everything we've got at this.

Our racing gurus Ric Wood and Patrick Blakeney Edwards

will be with us at the track.

And then away from the track,

Kamla is gonna be out there drumming up work

in the pits with the other teams.

Getting our accountant to go out there

and actually get us the work and bring in the money is genius.

And I don't know why I've never thought of it before.

We'll pull up there.

Perfect.

We have arrived at the home of racing!

Strap coming off.

Yep, we're good.

There are 62 cars on this grid.

62?

I think there's about seven cars in our class,

but that's seven cars amongst 62.

First driver, which will be me goes out, does one flying lap.

That's my qualifying lap, like it or lump it.

Alright, yeah, yeah.

And then in... And then in yeah.

And then we have to do a fast driver change...

Right.

..to get Anthony in to do the same.

So, we're racing 61 cars,

but only competing for silverware

with those in the same class as our MGB.

Cars in the same class have the same engine and tyres

which, in theory, makes it all down to the skill of the drivers.

Shall I go to the assembly area?

You're gonna go to the pit lane? You go to the pit lane.

Yeah. Yeah.

Richard's gone there,

and we're gonna go to the pit wall to set up.

They're here at the Grand Prix circuit.

I sort of see a slightly different Richard now.

The original Richard was circumspect

about the whole motor racing thing

and the cost but I'm looking at a different Richard

who's confident, laughing, excited,

ready to take on the challenge of Silverstone.

Good luck, mate.

Bit of the old nervous tension is good for you.

When they first started racing

they made possibly every mistake

that could be made.

And to their credit, they've kind of listened

and they've come a long way.

Right. Bloody hell!

Oh, there's a bit of stress involved in this, isn't there?

All I've got to do is complete a lap.

Everybody's overtaking me.

Hard on the brakes.

Harder than that, Richard.

Whoo-hoo, wheel in the air. Felt it.

Hammond, 304.8.

He's doing what he's supposed to have done, isn't he?

Where the hell are the pits?

I've forgotten.

There. It's there.

You ready, maestro?

Always ready, mate.

We have to engine off.

Come on then, Ant, qualifying.

If Ant can give us a 250 something we'll be not at the back.

Yeah. That's all we need, isn't it?

Yeah. It's good. Yeah.

Come on, Doris, you can do this, girl.

What's he doing?

He did a 257 then.

Come on. Fight you. Come on.

Come on, on the power, on the power, on the power.

Go on, let her have it.

Jesus 48.

Bloody hell! Fantastic!

Whoo! What a track!

So, that's gonna put us... Fourth in class.

Bloody hell. He's not gonna beat that.

Let's get him in.

Good girl. Ooh, I loved that.

Right, Debbie McGee's Mercedes,

I've worked with some flood damaged cars.

We've got to be really careful because of the mould.

Have to put a mask on.

Debbie McGee, what have you done to us?

This is on another level.

I don't know how long it's been sat for but Jesus.

It looks absolutely disgusting.

Everything's just rotten.

For health reasons everything's got to go,

the seats, door cards, carpets.

It's gonna have to have a brand spanking new interior.

Lucrative celebrity cars, hey?

I just hope Debbie's got some deep pockets.

It's an hour until the race.

The perfect time for Kamla to do the business.

Hi, guys. Hiya.

I work with Richard Hammond at The Smallest Cog,

and I thought this was a good opportunity

to hand out some business cards in case you need any work doing.

I'm here today to see if we can sell our services to anyone,

which I think we will, I think we're in a good place to do that.

So, if we smash the car up this afternoon, you can fix it?

Amazing, please call us.

If it need any work doing to it,

whether it's now or further down the line.

We've got an issue right now.

We've got an issue right now.

Oh, have you?

Our lads are very skilled. Neil can sort that out.

If it can be done, yeah.

Fantastic. Sounds good.

I need him now to fix my car actually.

Do you know what, you're about the third person

that has said that.

It's been a financial struggle the last few months

but I feel like we're coming out the other side

and just seeing Richard here and just seeing him so happy.

It's worth it because I haven't seen him smile like this for a while.

Oh, this is a bit nervous now.

We just got to keep our cool and just play the game.

After qualifying, we're fourth in class.

If we can gain just one place,

we'll be on the podium for the first time.

Good luck, lads. Cheers, thank you.

It's every boy's dream to stand on the podium at Silverstone,

and I believe today could be the day that my dream comes true.

There's a crunch moment now when you're feeling a bit, ooh.

The moment approaches.

Forwards to glory!

I've never seen so many cars on the start line in my life.

What scares me is if one car loses it

and there's a big pile up.

Still positioning them.

Look how far back it stretches.

My heart is a flutter.

Oh, this is so bonkers.

That's it. We are off.

Ha-ha!

I knew it would be busy, but I did not think this busy.

He's come straight through...

Ooh.

Nearly had him.

Good lad. Stay out of trouble.

Oh, this is my nemesis.

Little dab of brake, turn in.

Ooh...

I'm trying to remember everything I've learned.

Smooth on the controls.

I don't need to brake here.

Look ahead.

258. Good lad.

Took that triumph.

Ho-hoo!

He's just done a 55.

He's doing absolutely fantastic.

Right, I think I'm gonna go in.

Ready? I'm ready.

Coming in!

We've held position and are still lying in fourth.

OK, Ant, let's do this.

Ant needs to overtake just one of the others in our class,

car number 105, a 1962 Alpha Romeo with the black bonnet and boot.

Have you worked out how many seconds he is behind?

When he goes past,

we can actually count the number of seconds.

One Mississippi, two Mississippi, three Mississippi, four Mississippi.

Five seconds. Not far off!

If we get two more laps.

Ooh, he could actually do it.

Go on, son, hold on to you.

Nearly had him.

Come on, Ant!

Gutted. Nearly had him.

Is it finished? Yeah.

So, we're just behind him.

By 0.8 of a second.

We're not gonna occupy any space on the podium,

but we have finished.

Many lessons learned, but I think in terms of calmness

and efficiency as a team, I think we were bob on.

Well done, mate.

It's not that long ago that we were struggling round,

trying to find the legs for a gazebo

and it was just an absolute shambles.

But now we've turned into like a proper little band of brothers

where we're all just pulling together, trusting each other.

And that's exactly what it's all about.

Cogs, assemble!

Guys, the silverware or whatever, it really doesn't matter.

As an outfit, as a team, I am really, genuinely,

properly proud of what we've done.

Yeah, we didn't get a trophy,

but it's the team and how we all work together

and this is the strongest and the best we have ever been.

Obviously my real hope

is that what's happening here translates back to the workshop.

So, when we're next in the workshop together next week,

people remember working together to achieve

what we wanted to do

and they'll do the same in the workshop.

Ric, you're in the firing line.

Richard! Hey!

My oldest mate Zog's coming in today to collect his Morgan.

He only dropped it off for a service,

but I sort of cheated the guys into doing a bit more.

As a result, we have over delivered colossally.

Hello.

Good morning. How are you?

Oh, repping the brand.

Well, I thought as I was coming to HQ.

Thank you for being so patient.

I'm sorry it's taken so long.

I'll get them to bring it out so...

Can you bring it out, please, lads. Oh, here it comes.

Blimey.

What have you done with the wheels?

Refurbed them and it's on new tyres.

That is now ready for the nice weather.

There is an interesting point about the seat.

Yes? The driver's seat.

Had you noticed it had got a bit saggy?

I think there might have been some mice in there.

There were. Yes. No!

We got hold of some foam,

and we've cut it to shape and rebuilt that seat.

It's good innit?

It's brilliant.

How long have I got to pay for it?

No, no, no.

This is how much have I paid you as head of PR Global?

Oh, fortunes.

In actuality...

Not an awful lot.

So, you're seriously saying this is my payment.

That's how... This is your payment.

It's good innit?

Yeah, words fail me, and that's unusual.

I'm absolutely delighted.

It's like... It's like the day I got it.

Richard.

Oh, mate, it's a pleasure.

If I now own a workshop and you're the PR guy for it,

if I can't do it, who can?

Oh, gosh. Wow!

I can't believe it.

Right, well, go careful.

Farewell. Thank you. Thank you.

It does look brilliant,

that, it looks absolutely superb

and I'm really pleased we can do that.

Richard, you OK? You OK for a chat? Yes.

Like a big, grown up chat? Yeah.

Alright. OK. Office. Alright. Yeah.

I'm all ears.

So, erm, about the Morgan. Yeah.

So, that would have been a nice little earner for us.

Unfortunately because it's Zog.

Yeah, I mean, I might have agreed to do him a favour.

We haven't made the money.

No.

Your Kadettt you've just bought. Oh, yeah.

These little jobs always end up turned into a bigger job.

Right.

And then it just puts us behind in the workshop.

So, I've done it again.

Yeah. OK.

Another one of my observations, you know,

I don't know if you've noticed, when you come in.

Yeah.

The lads seem to stop work

and they come and have a chat with you.

Well, we're mates aren't we, we have a little chat.

Yeah, but...

Talk about stuff.

Is there any idea, like,

you could come through the back door?

Or even better, just come in a bit less?

Right. I'm a distraction. Got that.

It's my powerful personality.

It's something that happens.

If you remember, you brought me in, the main reason...

Yeah. ..was to make some profit.

Make money. Yeah.

That's not gonna happen if I'm...

This is making my life difficult, to be honest.

OK. Anything else?

I think that's it for now.

Good managing.

To be fair, it's conversations like that that I asked Jamie

to step in as manager to do.

That's kind of what I'm expecting...

But increasingly it does feel like

I'm more of a hindrance around here than a help.

If I'm making things worse by being here,

what am I actually for around here?

Au revoir.

I've driven in a lot of convoys but that really is something else.

Oh, look at that.

What is it? It's bonkers!

When we bill him... Yeah?

..and I'd like you to be honest with me,

I'm not out of pocket.

Richard might just have to brace himself

for some hard truths.
