Last year the BBC aired a great show starring James May from Top Gear called James May’s Toy Stories where the cool host revisited his favorite toys from his childhood and sought to bring them back to life.
It was a great show that saw him build a house out of Legos, the world’s longest model railroad, a bridge made of Erector, a garden made of clay and a ton more cool stuff.
I’m happy to report that BBC America has decided to bring this show to an American audience.
From BBC America:
James is used to goofing around with his pals from Top Gear and taking on some insane challenges, but for this series he’ll leave the keys to the supercars at home as he embarks on some ludicrously ambitious adventures and feats of engineering using classic toys.
Over the course of six episodes James and thousands of volunteers will undertake challenges like laying ten miles of model railroad tracks, creating a life-size bridge out of Meccano (aka Erector set) pieces and building a full-scale Lego house.
He’ll get both adults and children out of the house and working side-by-side on these fun, spectacular challenges; reminding everyone of the joys of doing things together while playing with toys that have captured our imagination.
James May’s Toy Stories premieres on BBC America Monday, June 28th at 10/9c. Can’t wait to see this show again.
Here’s a couple clips from the show.
