Flipping Bangers

Gus and Will set out to purchase an MGB roadster, but the only model they locate is the less‑expensive GT. The car shows several rust patches, and once they're back in the workshop they discover that its appeal is only superficial.

The broadcast titled is a single‑episode programme that falls within the episode genre. It follows the format of a self‑contained story, presenting its narrative in a concise, focused manner. The central storyline follows two characters, Gus and Will, who set out with the intention of purchasing an MGB roadster. Their search leads them to a more affordable alternative – the GT version of the same model – which they decide to investigate further. The GT they locate isn’t in pristine condition; it bears several patches of rust across its bodywork. After acquiring the car, Gus and Will take it back to their workshop, where they begin a hands‑on assessment of its condition. While working on the vehicle, the pair come to the realisation that outward appearance can be misleading. The experience teaches them that the true value of a car – and perhaps of things in general – lies beneath the surface, rather than in its cosmetic appeal.
