James May - Toy Stories

[non-stick]

Has anyone else watched this series. James May is rapidly becoming one of my favourite presenters from Top Gear, he has such a dry sense of humour.

This series took me right back to my childhood with Airfix, Scalextric, Plasticine and Meccano.

I thought last night's was one of the best programmes I've seen for a while. The Airfix one was excellent as well.

They were my favourites as I spent years as a kid (and some as an adult) playing with both. I thought last nights was great in the way it brought people together and the kids seemed to be having a whale of a time.

Never quite got into Plasticine and Meccano

I wish I could. It wasn't on this week but I recall in the first episode he previewed a programme about Lego. Has there been a Lego-related catastrophe somewhere and the BBC have decided not to show it out of respect of the bereaving families?

We now have to wait till Xmas for the next program when we get the 1st showing of the Hornby Railway build.
I didnt see the Lego program which I believe was the 1st one shown and its now vanished from the I Player
Could be that the Cumbria flood and destuction has caused it to be withdrawn out of respect to those effected
