Richard Hammond to front new six-part series for Discovery+.

Richard Hammond’s Workshop will follow the former Top Gear build his business with the support of locals, including the father and son team, Neil and Anthony Greenhouse, who run the garage.

Alongside prestige and restored classics, the team will also work on Richard’s own extensive collection of cars and bikes. Along the way, Hammond will delve into the history of Jensen Motors, the car manufacturer that once employed his grandfather.

Richard Hammond said: “I’ve spent 25 years critiquing other people’s cars and now I’m putting my own work out there. My grandfather was an automotive craftsman, who knows, maybe I’ve inherited some of his skill! So this is a real business, a real project and I really hope people enjoy watching the highs and inevitable lows throughout the series!”

Richard Hammond’s Workshop was commissioned by Discovery’s Simon Downing and Victoria Noble. It will be executive produced by Jon Stephens for Discovery.

Hammond is no stranger to Discovery having fronted engineering series Richard Hammond’s BIG! for the network last year.
