    It has been a good few months now since Richard Hammond's Workshop went live on discovery+, so Mike Fernie made the journey to The Smallest Cog to find out how business has been since the show has been out.
    Thank you to discovery+ for sponsoring this video!

    Amazing to see and hear about this beloved car in this show, Harold was my late Uncle and Barry is my cousin, I had countless trips in their cars as a youth as did my father, Barrys Uncle and my dads brother. Incredibly small world ❤️
    I actually think it's this very car that was used to take my sister to get married many years ago, Barry would undoubtedly be able to verify that. I remember Barrys father restoring this is his garage in his garden in Walnut Tree Avenue in Hereford - you have brought back some incredible memories ❤️

    I'd like to see more detailed mechanical stuff happening in season 2 though, getting cars up and running, and fixing problems, since season 1 seemed to focus a lot on painting and setting up the shop.

    James Richard and Jeremy really did Branch off from the BBC and expanded their love for all things other than just talking about cars.
    I believe that if Jeremy never had that incident, then we would of never had Drivetribe, Foodtribe, The Smallest cog, Diddly Squat farm, The Royal Oak pub.
    I mean, I think they would of done it all, but Amazon Really injected the funds and more promoting for them three to do what they wanted to do.

    Would love to see a second season. Since the garage is all set and running now the next bit would have to be about all the different cars coming in.

    I loved what I could watch of season one, but since I live outside of GB and the episodes have been pulled from CZcams, I guess I'm out of luck. 😕
