BBC's Countryfile visits the Moulton Factory

We just turned on the TV as the presenter of Countryfile appeared with a spaceframe Moulton, she went on to visit the factory, interview Sir Alex Moulton and wobble nervously with some vintage bike riders.
There was also a pic of the original launch of the F-frame

Well, you have 6 days to watch this item.

There's this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9v_RHIY-O9M but its older from a show called Country Tracks. Its a ride around the patio with Dr. Moulton at 89.
