James May's Toy Stories - TV Programmes

planeboy · 13-07-2009, 21:13

Does anyone know when this new James May program starts?? Or has it started already??

I dont want to miss the one where he builds a full size house out of lego !!

Shirt Slicer · 13-07-2009, 21:36

I don't think it's on for a while yet. I'm sure he mentioned on JR on Friday they were filming it now.

Yup, said the lego house was "in the planning stages". Sounds like a spring show to me.

Toy Stories is supposed to air on BBC2 this autumn - starting sometime this month - does anyone know exactly when?

The DVD is due out on 30th November (according to Amazon).

Camino · 15-10-2009, 06:05

apparently 27th October BBC2 8pm

Sloopy · 15-10-2009, 10:47

Yes, I heard this was coming up soon.

Sounds promising. James's programmes are usually very good.

Camino · 21-10-2009, 08:18

Saw a bit of the trailer for this and it is on Tues 27th Oct.

Dick Darlington · 21-10-2009, 09:35

According to the Radio Times there will be 4 programmes shown starting 27th Oct and a further 2 (inc. the lego house) shown at a later date. Not sure why, unless they haven't finished filming those 2.

grimsmeister · 22-10-2009, 12:35

That's correct. 8pm Tuesdays on BBC2 from 27th October, repeated on Sundays at 7pm, also BBC2. Lego and Hornby episodes are delayed until nearer Christmas. The book will be released to coincide with the TV show, the DVD comes out in December.

Camino · 27-10-2009, 19:40

This is on tonight at 8pm if anyone is interested

mike65 · 27-10-2009, 19:55

Yep I'll be watching sat on the floor in front of the telly with my bricks!

Then its over to BBC 4 for Ghosts in the Machine when I'll be behind the sofa.

Great evenings telly.

Scoundreldays · 27-10-2009, 20:00

Nearly forgot this was on. Just switched over now.

grahamzxy · 27-10-2009, 20:02

I have to admit he is quite watchable, he has a genuine enthusiasm for things

wuffles · 27-10-2009, 20:03

'Who's Beyonce?'

Bless.

He could talk about the most mundane of things and he would still make it sound interesting. I love James May

Gareth56 · 27-10-2009, 20:09

The school kids are using a craft knives,

hasn't that been banned by the Health & Safety idiots???

mounty · 27-10-2009, 20:10

oh GOD I had no idea there would be so many children involved. You know the old saying 'children should be seen and not heard'? Well I don't even want to SEE the blighters!

I love the cheeky sneers at Clarkson's annual DVD releases.

dsnik · 27-10-2009, 20:30

Anyone had a tear in their eye yet

wuffles · 27-10-2009, 20:36

That model makes him look constipated!

The_Cuckoo · 27-10-2009, 20:39

James May is brilliant and funny. But seriousy, what is the point of this programme?

I just don't get what it's trying to say/prove.

MikeJW · 27-10-2009, 20:58

The girl's relationship with May is quite sweet, they treat him like a slightly confused grandad

mounty · 27-10-2009, 21:02

pretty good job in the end. I can't help but wonder if a few artists did the finishing touches though! It's probably for the best they didn't blow that one up

Agent Krycek · 27-10-2009, 21:09

Really enjoyed that, brought back loads of memories

Yeah and it was really nice to see the way he won over those kids and got them genuinely interested in Air Fix. That was a really enjoyable hour of TV.
