Season 1 Episode 1 of 3

The presenter examines the social significance of cars in the 20th century. He begins by travelling to Germany, Italy and Russia to examine how dictators kick-started the mobilization of the masses, finding tales of design brilliance, abject failure, war, fraud and double dealing. James also learns about how the British motor industry blew a gift-wrapped chance to rule the world and he gets his own back with a stunt that means bad news for one of the planet's most hated cars

James May's Cars of the People airs on U&Yesterday at 4:00 PM, Saturday 1 March. (Subtitles, audio description.)
