\\u201cWhatever people say I am, that\\u2019s what I\\u2019m not\\u201d. In this episode Tom Whalley channels his inner Arthur Seaton as he looks at the history and legacy of the Raleigh brand, 20 years after they closed their final factory in Nottingham. Local historian Chris Matthews takes us on a walk of some of\\xa0 the key Raleigh sites in the city, and digital story teller James Walker talks about author Arthur Sillitoe\\u2019s classic novel, Saturday Night Sunday Morning, and its protagonist Arthur Seaton who worked in the Raleigh factory. We also hear from Julian Hopkins who collects Raleigh Burners and Ken Price who has one of the world\\u2019s most impressive collections of Raleigh Choppers.
