The narrator is annoying as is the recap after the ads like I have dementia. John, most programmes seem to do that these days. I have read that they do this to allow for the short attention span of yoof these days. Not that yoof is the target for this film, but it just seems the way programmes are made now. Skipping on c.2 minutes after each break helps. Great film and very nice commentary from all those taking part.

Simply excellent.
The Aston and Bentley programs could have been about any modern car. My feeling is that the Morgan episode captured the spirit and emotion Morgan and I think the company should be really proud of the way they portrayed themselves.
I am proud to own a Morgan.
It also many me think that any Morgan is cheap, in the context of a truly hand built bespoke product.
I just wish there had been a bit about the chassis fabrication. My understanding is that it is also more hand built than, for example, the alloy body that VAG build for Bentley.

If I found a way of making an mp4 of it would that help anyone?
I'm not sure I can but I'd try hard if enough people would want it.

Hi
I really enjoyed this programme for all the reasons already mentioned, even though it focussed on the Plus Six which isn't really my cup of tea. There was a little attempt to make it seem comical but most of that can be forgiven.
I think I may share the All4 link to some friends and family, to help to explain my obsession. Although I shall only be in the market for a £15-25K second hand car.
Keep safe all

We really enjoyed the program too, especially interesting to see some of the staff we met when we did our factory tour (to see our car in build).
With the amount of hand work and craftsmanship that goes into a Morgan, they do look very good value when compared to the cost of the “mass produced” Aston and Bentley previously featured. I think from memory the Bentley had 16 hours start to finish (not sure over how many days)....compared to 99 hours over 30 days for the Morgan.
I think it will do the factory and marque a lot of good, best advertising and profile they could wished for.

The narrator is annoying as is the recap after the ads like I have dementia. But the content was very good. I enjoyed it & then watched the Aston one afterwards. MMC really shined in comparison. +1 , really iritating , could have better used the time talking to owners like us . (they didn't include any owners or people who show the public round the factory like us )

I haven’t watched it yet, I saw the Bentley and Aston Martin programmes.
As for the impersonal build at Bentley and Aston, I reckon someone paying Aston and Bentley prices wouldn’t put up with some of the foibles I hear some of our lovely Morgan’s come out of the factory with.
I’ve never bought a new Morgan, I’ve owned six of them.
I never felt I could afford a new car and now they’re way out of my price range I never will.
I drove the AWSC plus 6 demo car and there’s no denying it’s fabulous, but imho it’s a bmw with a Morgan body.
I just enjoy my plus 8 whenever I can and can’t wait for lockdown to be eased.
Stay safe everyone I thought most people put new cars on a lease or on finance and then changed them for another within 3 years , they don't actually stump up cash !
