Shed and Buried

Henry Cole and Sam Lovegrove are on the move to Witney, Oxfordshire. In the historic market town they travel together, meet Lez, a model‑building extraordinaire, and they come away with a very unusual challenge to complete. The unusual challenge remains to be tackled.

Witney is a programme structured as a series of episodes, each focusing on a particular location. The show follows its presenters as they travel to different towns, offering viewers a glimpse of local characters and activities. This format allows the audience to see the hosts engage directly with the places they visit. In the episode centred on Witney, the presenters Henry Cole and Sam Lovegrove set off for the market town in Oxfordshire. Their journey takes them out of the studio and onto the streets of the town, where they are ready to explore what Witney has to offer. The pair are clearly on the move, heading straight for the heart of the community. Upon arriving, they encounter Lez, described as a model‑builder extraordinaire. Lez’s reputation for building models precedes him, and the hosts meet him to discuss his craft. The meeting provides a direct look at his work and allows Cole and Lovegrove to interact with someone distinguished in model building. The encounter culminates in Lez presenting the duo with a very unusual challenge. This task is set apart from anything they have faced before, pushing them into new territory. Accepting the challenge, Henry and Sam leave the meeting ready to tackle the odd assignment, which forms the core of the episode’s narrative.
