Ep 5. Rob Collard Office Havant, Banger Racing, Rag N' Bone Man

In Scrap Kings season 1 episode 5, viewers are taken on a journey to Havant, a location where British Touring Car driver Rob Collard invites the team to transform his office space into something unrecognizable. Collard has a love for cars and often takes parts from his old vehicles back to the office as souvenirs. The Scrap Kings team takes note of this and decides to create a unique space that encompasses Collard's passion for cars, while incorporating functional elements that improve his day-to-day work life.

As the Scrap Kings team sets to work transforming the office, Collard takes the opportunity to teach them about banger racing, a fun and adrenaline-filled motorsport that involves crashing cars into each other until only one remains movable. The team takes the challenge to become banger racers themselves and revel in the thrill of the sport.

Later on, the Scrap Kings team receives a visit from a local rag n' bone man, a trade that was once popular until the advent of modern waste disposal methods. Despite the occupation's dwindling popularity, the man continues in his trade, collecting discarded items and salvaging those he can. The team is intrigued by his story and impressed by his resilience and dedication.

Throughout the episode, Scrap Kings season 1 episode 5 gives viewers a glimpse of the world of banger racing and the often-unnoticed work of rag n' bone men. The team's transformation of Collard's office space is impressive and showcases their creativity and ability to work to a brief. The episode highlights the ever-present connection between humans and their love for cars, be it for sports, work or as remnants of a bygone era.

Overall, Scrap Kings season 1 episode 5 is an exciting episode that brings together two seemingly different elements- motorsports and interior design. The team's transformation of Collard's office is both functional and visually stunning, while the banger racing and rag n' bone man segments offer viewers a glimpse of lesser-known occupations and their place in modern society. Anyone with an interest in cars, design, or unique professions will enjoy this episode and the larger Scrap Kings series.
