About
Guy Martin: Proper Jobs is a four-part series commissioned for U&Dave and free streaming service, U.
No stranger to trying new things, Guy Martin's Proper Jobs will see the motorcycle racer, truck fitter, part-time farmer, enthusiastic engineer and sometime television presenter, attempt a variety of different roles that involve a lot of hard graft, no shortage of skill and that perhaps don't get the recognition they deserve.
Guy's not thinking about sitting behind a desk writing monthly highlights or sending a load of emails back and forth here though. No, he wants to get stuck in doing some of the most demanding jobs in the UK.
Guy will fully immerse himself in his new role and undergo all the essential training, live with his co-workers, and by doing so, learn more about the people who do these jobs day in, day out.
The former motorcycle racer will be able to see for himself the local and cultural significance these jobs have today and may have had in the past.
