About This Program

The episode titled is a programme that presents a single instal­ment focused on two very different manufacturing stories. It is classified as an episode‑type programme, offering viewers a concise look at both industrial and artisanal production. The first part of the show takes the audience inside the factory where the Henry vacuum cleaner is assembled. Viewers are shown the step‑by‑step process that turns raw components into the familiar household appliance, highlighting the engineering and quality control that go into each unit. The second segment shifts to an award‑winning, family‑run dairy that produces Stilton cheese. Here the programme follows the traditional methods that have been handed down through generations, demonstrating how the cheese is curdled, formed, and aged under the careful supervision of the family’s skilled craftsmen. By pairing the modern, mechanised world of the Henry Hoover with the time‑honoured craft of Stilton making, the episode offers a clear illustration of how both high‑tech production and heritage techniques coexist in today’s market. It gives viewers a practical glimpse of two very different yet equally meticulous processes.
