The episode follows presenters Henry Cole and Simon O’Brien as they set off for a day in Leicestershire. Their journey forms the backbone of the programme, with the two hosts acting as the audience’s guides through a very particular corner of the county. The format is straightforward – a visit that allows the pair to explore a unique personal collection and to meet the people who live alongside it. During their stop‑over they are introduced to Bernadette, a local resident whose family home has become something of a shrine to two‑wheeled machines. Bernadette explains that her uncle Jim has taken it upon himself to fill every single room with motorbikes, cycles and a host of other assorted items. The sheer volume of the collection is evident the moment the camera moves from one space to the next, each area crammed with gleaming bikes, vintage bicycles and miscellaneous paraphernalia that speak to Jim’s enthusiasm. The programme spends time walking the viewers through the densely packed interiors, highlighting how each room has been transformed by Jim’s hobby. The hosts comment on the variety of machines on display, noting the mixture of classic and contemporary models, while also taking in the assorted objects that have found a place among the bikes. By the end of the visit, Henry and Simon have given a clear picture of a home that is, quite literally, filled to the brim with motorbikes, cycles and a range of other things, all thanks to Jim’s dedication.
