James May's Toy Stories

James May is out to prove why traditional, old fashioned toys are still relevant today when he pushes them to the limit in spectacular, supersize challenges. From full size Lego houses to bridges made completely of Meccano, he shows just what they are capable of. This week, James takes model aeroplanes to a whole new level when he tries to make a full size spitfire out of Airfix.

James May continues his quest to show just what is possible with old fashioned toys by using them on a scale never seen before. This week James tries to make a garden entirely out of Plasticine and then enter it at the Chelsea Flower Show. He persuades thousands of members of the British public to help make the thousands of Plasticine flowers.

James May continues his quest to show just what is possible with old fashioned toys when he uses them on a scale never before seen. This week James joins forces with Edwina Currie to build a full size bridge from nothing but Meccano. Top engineers pitch incredible designs, but the project soon careers out of control when the Meccano does not arrive.

James May continues his quest to show just what is possible with old fashioned toys by using them on a scale never seen before. This week, he attempts to build the biggest Scalextric track in the world, nearly three miles long. With hundreds of volunteers, he wants to build it on the site of Britain's oldest grand prix track - at Brooklands in Surrey.

James attempts to build the longest ever model railway track - a whopping ten miles long. He builds it in Devon, linking two towns, Barnstaple and Bideford, who last had a train service over 40 years ago. Thousands of people turn out to help, but how will James' childhood model train cope in the pouring rain, with leaves on the line and every bit of mud in the way?

James concludes his quest to show just what is possible with old fashioned toys by using them on a scale never seen before. He attempts his biggest, most ambitious challenge of them all: building a full-size house out of Lego. With thousands of people and over three million Lego bricks, James attempts to do what no-one has ever managed, to build a two story house out of this colourful toy.
