Meet Toby Foster, Narrator of Bangers And Cash
Yesterdays Bangers And Cash follows the Mathewsons as they hunt for rare cars to resell, and in the process, uncover some remarkable and heartwarming stories behind the cars. But those “heartwarming stories” wouldn’t be so heartwarming if not shared through the voice of Toby Foster.
“Every car has its own story to tell. It’s your dad’s car, the first car you bought as a teenager, the car you always wanted but never had the money to buy,” Derek (the head of the family) explains.
Other members of the Mathewson family include — Paul and Dave (sons), Charlie (nephew), and Sarah Crabtree (who is not a Mathewson family member).
Having aired its first season on April 18, 2019, Bangers And Cash has progressed to a fifth season, which premiered in January 2022. Additionally, the spin-off Bangers And Cash: Restoring Classics was also being filmed at the time.
