‘This is reality TV stripped back to its pure form. No fancy tricks – just a fast, entertaining struggle.’ (Radio Times)

Bangladesh’s answer to Enzo Ferrari, designer Leepu Awlia, and his cockney partner and master mechanic Bernie Fineman, re-open their garage on the Discovery Channel for a second series of hit show Chop Shop.

This time the panel beating pair are upping the anti as they undertake five special commissions for some of the best-known faces in British entertainment and sport. Entrusting their boyhood dream machines to Bernie and Leepu’s creative genius are: pop legend turned actor, east end boy MARTIN KEMP; rugby legend LAURENCE DALLAGLIO; actor and comedian JOHNNY VEGAS; music maestro JOOLS HOLLAND and former Spurs and France football hero DAVID GINOLA.

Following on from the success of the last series, when the Chop Shop gang produced a magnificent Bentley for DJ Christian O’Connell, Bernie and Leepu have chosen to put their reputations on the line by guaranteeing they can create five more masterpiece motors. Their challenge is to produce cars to rival any forecourt mean machine, working within tight budgets and to the bespoke requirements of each star.
