Inside the Factory

Have always loved this show and HATED Gregg Wallace with a passion. He's not only very irritating with his childish demeanor but an absolute clumsy fool. GLAD HE'S GONE! Some very interesting shows that make you marvel at the size and volume they produce and Cherry and Ruth present great history and an informative look into the products without the ridiculous actions and clumsy antics of Gregg. I pity the staff that are required to babysit this goof through their factory. Most of the tours are simply fascinating but I have to turn off the sound and read the subtitles because GW is THAT annoying.

...And a 7,9 rating shows, so do most others. Gregg Wallace is enthusiastic and funny, some find him to be too much, I don't. I think he nails it with his good mood and inquisitive personality.

Talk about 2 people ruining what should be an interesting show. The show gets 8 stars, the presenters 0. That averages out to 4 stars from me. This is exactly like the American/Canadian version. Interesting content, obnoxious presenters. Seems to be the norm these days for this type of show.

These shows are also in German. Not as obnoxious as the versions in english. Where do they find these people? At an unemployment office for obnoxious-no-talent-actors. I would hate to be around these people after a few alcoholic drinks. Probably even more obnoxious. Too bad for the show, because as I've said, I enjoy the content.

The presenter Gregg Wallace taking credit for the work of others for "his" item at what ever plant the show is visiting. His man child act detracts from what would be a relatively interesting and well put together show. I do find it a bit ironic that many of the factories visited are owned by multi-national corporations that are not British owned but are still lauded as the best in the world for whatever reason they can dream up with their on show historian. Cherry is the least annoying of all the presenters but her role is also poorly scripted. She doesn't need to be portrayed as more shallow and idiotic than Gregg.

TLDR...the premise is interesting but the hosts suck.

Fascinating concept and a great series. Well, it would be if they had not cast uber-irritant Greg Wallace as the main presenter. His gurning, mockney barrow-boy schtick wears thin after 30 seconds. The other presenters add some gravitas and insight into the history of each product but I have to watch it with the subtitles on and a mute button handy to cut out GW's faked amazement as he patronises each machine operator who is unfortunate enough to be compelled to suffer GW's egotistical contrived patter.
