Executive Producer Michael Rees added: “As we’re in our ninth series, it’s not an easy task, but thankfully there are loads of wonderful factories all over the country with new stories to tell.

We always like to feature well-known brands and products that most people in the UK will have bought and experienced, but might not have thought how they’re made. “Products with a hint of nostalgia that we’ve all grown up with are especially great for fun-packed programmes. We have regular brainstorms in the office for products that the team would like to see featured, and it certainly gives the weekend supermarket shop a whole new angle as you scour the shelves for inspiration.
