Inside The Factory
Discussion
te with another.The last series with new matey is much better than with old matey.
But last night's (sausage rolls) fell back into previous latter series, whereby the subject in question could not fill an hour, so they have to pad it out with some tenuous links; zeppelin and recycling fridges have heehaw to do with sausage rolls.
That's it's real problem now; finding something they have not already done that's complicated enough to fill an hour.

I liked it. I could watch those machines for hours. I had to do a drainage survey at a cake factory once - fascinating seeing it make 200ft long swiss rolls and all those dustbin sized containers of jam and cream. Paddy's harmless, I think people have decided to dislike him because that's what the intelligencia would have you believe is the thing to do lest you want to be labelled as council.

Yeah, I don't mind Paddy. I think he would be a bit much in person if he was as energetic as his screen persona, but at TV distance he is fine for this sort of program. You need a slightly OTT character to convincingly ask the stupid questions that allow the "expert" to provide an explanatory answer.Does Inside the Factory only do food items? It would be interesting to see how other things are made too, especially small factories where individual skills are still required.
I quite like Paddy and his regional accent and I loved the show.
He certainly lays the northern accent on a bit thick but it's to give a certain 'man of the people' vibe to it. As he remarked last week, he did once work in a warehouse, so knows his way around the 'goods out' section.
I'm not sure what people want as an alternative?
Someone like Mr Cholmondley-Warner speaking in received pronunciation?
A bloke in a thick jumper like William Woolard explaining the MPG of an Austin Maestro and trying to make it sound exciting?
Paddy injects a bit of humour, Cherry is very easy on the eye, I like the show.
I'm always fascinated by the amount of automation in these places. If I had my time again I'd love to work on those kind of machines.

You need to be onto How It's Made over on Discovery. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/How_It%27s_Made
32 Seasons in total!!! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_How_It%27s_M...
It makes my missus laugh - she knows that if she goes out for a night with the girls I will stay in with a few beers, a curry and several episodes of How It's Made and Aircraft Investigations .. living the dream!!

Paddy gets the blame for Top Gear and QoS. But to be fair to him, they were both down the gurler anyway, so it was somewhat of a poisoned chalice he was handed.boyse7en said:

We watched a really interesting episode a couple of weeks ago about book production.Does Inside the Factory only do food items? It would be interesting to see how other things are made too, especially small factories where individual skills are still required.

There’s loads of similar programs, how a car is made or a similar title on 4OD is good, no presenter just a voice over
How it’s made is the ultimate one though, that has literally everting on it from pencils to a grand piano
The most eye opening one I’ve seen was a le cruisett pan, which are basically eye wateringly expensive because the French refuse to automate the factory so it’s all done by hand! Even the painting.
I don't understand who they see as the target audience.
If your first thought is 'excellent, an hour's TV looking at mass production of books, I hope there's a segment on process flow optimisation', then 40 minutes of 'the pages are made out of sequence? No way', and 'and now Cherry takes a look at the under representation of lesbians in pulpwood forestry' isn't going to hit the spot.
Equally, if your first thought is 'an hour of Paddy making sausage innuendos? Great', then wouldn't you rather watch him in a game show, not some boring tour round a factory, and wouldn't the game show be cheaper to make?
Who is today's equivalent of the OG, John Harvey Jones ?
