Richard Hammond-s Workshop - Season 1 Apr 2026

Unlike the bloated budgets of Amazon, this show has grit. You feel the cold in the barn. You see the bank account dwindling. You wince when a customer rejects a paint job because the orange peel isn't right.

We watch Hammond wrestle with imposter syndrome. He is surrounded by true artisans: Anthony (the paint whisperer), Andrew (the fabrication genius), and his long-suffering business partner, Neil. Hammond wants to be one of the lads; the lads just want him to make the tea and stop trying to use the angle grinder.

No scripted explosions. No celebrity guests driving through a jungle. Just Hammond, a handful of seasoned mechanics, and a mountain of rusty metal. Richard Hammond-s Workshop - Season 1

If you love cars, watch it for the metal. If you love people, watch it for the man learning to weld his shattered ego back together.

But in 2021, Hammond did something unexpected. He stopped driving away from destruction and started driving toward a new life.

Hammond is not a natural mechanic. He is a natural storyteller. By humbling himself—by admitting that the man who raced a dragster doesn’t know how to change a head gasket—he creates a show about the dignity of labor.
