James May...Who???.......Captain Slow....the man from Top Gear....is on a personal mission to get the kids of today out of their bedrooms and more so, away from their electronic games and get them back out side playing with other like minded children.

James show, titled 'James May Toy Stories' can be seen on BBC 2 and will follow James as he takes some of Britains top toys, old and new, and remind us all how good these hobbies still are.

Along the way James will tackle big brands like Airfix, Hornby and Scalextric and even work with strange building materials like Plasticine and Lego, both on epic scales.

The first show kicked off with James constructing an Airfix kit of a Spitfire, but not in 1/72nd scale or even 1/32nd but in 1/1 scale, thats life size!
