Ian Armstrong, Honda’s Manager of Communications said: "It’s great for us to be associated with this strand of programming as it encourages the viewer to think about issues and topics in a way that can change perceptions.

"This is a great facet of Honda philosophy and something we always try to do in our communications. It will also help people understand the range of cars that we are currently making at Swindon supporting our 3,400 employed in the factory."

Shay Reading, Creative Director Wieden & Kennedy, said: "People are naturally fascinated by how things are made and work. Over the next year we’ll be exploring the unseen Honda to capture the ingeniousness, precision and positivity that runs throughout the company."
