I have been watching a series called 'Supersizers Eat....' with Giles Coren and Sue Perkins - they were living life during the 1950's this week and the Bristol Cars showroom and Chiswick workshops are featured quite heavily during the first 10-15 mins. You can probably catch it on BBC iPlayer

they did though Good PR!

Here is the link to BBC iPlayer - it is around 7 or 8 minutes into the programme.
I think Brian Marelli appears as well as a 'union' leader. I also spotted Lady White's 603 on the ramp which was sold a few months back by Bristol.
Unfortunately for overseas people - the BBC will not allow you to watch it online - perhaps because you don't pay the television tax here.

BCL's new Glasnost attitude can only do good for them. Not surprised they didn't allow a factory visit though - the excuse I have heard is that 'secret things' still happen on the Filton airfield and surrounding area.

We'd be more than happy to pay, if there was a way, but I guess
it is also a licensing issue with content owners.

I knew someone would have the knowledge and expertise to bypass this unfair restriction.

I think that's called piracy
 
but having lived in Bristol, I'm not surprised - they all do talk loike pyrates :p

Yes, thanks.* The clip was much enjoyed over here in the States.
