The return of the popular series that takes viewers behind the scenes of the largest factories in Europe, revealing the secrets of high volume manufacturing. Inside the Factory marvels at the process, scale, skill, science, engineering and technology involved in making our favourite foods and lifestyle goods. Gregg Wallace is our guide, getting exclusive access to the enormous factories and meeting the people who work there. Featuring a different factory in each episode, Series 4 uncovers the astonishing processes that produce items such as instant coffee, toilet rolls, sausages and curry. Each film has an as-live feel, with an on-screen clock tracking how quickly raw ingredients are transformed into finished goods in less than 24 hours. Outside the main factory, Cherry Healey investigates the world of science and innovation behind each product, while historian Ruth Goodman reveals how it was invented, marketed and popularised.
