Show Me What You're Made Of

Series 5

Episode 2

First broadcast: on CBBC ChannelLatest broadcast: on CBBC HD

A group of five spoilt kids from around the country live and work alongside the people in Britain responsible for making or doing the things they rely on every day of their lives. We immerse them in a Britain right under their noses that they barely know exists. It's a world away from what the kids are used to and is just as shocking and surprising - perhaps even more so - than when Show Me What You're Made Of travels abroad.

Our five spoilt kids head to a thriving British textiles factory in the heart of the Midlands, Leicester. The busy factory makes fashion clothes for British high street names and UK supermarkets and so the work has to be done to a very high standard. Also, as the factory is competing against cheap imports from China, the targets here are very strict - everything has to be done in silence, at speed and with no compromise on quality. How will our kids cope when they are put to work on a real stitching line reporting to the strict factory boss Mick, who makes sure his workers deliver quality work at all times? And when one of the team shows real promise, how do those who are lagging behind react? Show less
