In another of his hyper-nerdy solo shows, Richard is in Birmingham poking around the remains of the once-massive Longbridge car factory. He recounts the time he snuck into the factory soon after MG Rover’s collapse to poke round secret prototypes and the eerily frozen production line, and tells some of the history of the place including plane making, strike breaking, car styling, and losing money on every Mini made, before encountering a ghost of the past on new housing estate that stands on the factory site.
