Des aventures follement ambitieuses et des prouesses d’ingénierie extraordinaires à partir des jouets préférés de tous les enfants. James May est un homme avec une mission : arracher les enfants à leurs jeux vidéo et les parents à leurs jeux télévisés pour les réunir autour du jeu. A l’aide des jeux classiques les plus aimés, James May réunit des familles au cœur de projets aussi ambitieux qu’extraordinaire. Ces aventures font appel non seulement à notre imagination, mais ils nous rappellent aussi la joie de se réunir pour faire des choses ensemble. James, son équipe, et tous les gens ordinaires qui participent se retrouvent face à des challenges invraisemblables qu’il faut voir pour y croire. « Depuis trop longtemps, les jouets classique ont servi uniquement à jouer. Je propose que nous nous en servions pour réunir les gens; ensemble nous pourrons réaliser des prouesses inespérées. Et je pari qu’on s'éclatera aussi. »

Épisode 1 - Airfix
27 octobre 2009 - 4/5
James takes model aeroplanes to a new level when he tries to make a full-size Spitfire out of Airfix. The venture soon hits problems when it becomes clear the giant 36-foot pieces may not be strong enough, and nobody knows how they will fit together. James hopes he can enthuse a group of reluctant teenagers to help him pull it off - but he soon realises he has another big battle on his hands convincing them it is a hobby to be proud of.
Épisode 2 - Plasticine
3 novembre 2009
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 he needs, but will it be enough to persuade the guardians of the world's most prestigious horticultural event to let him make a garden with no real flowers in it? While visiting celebrities like Stephen Fry and Joanna Lumley are clearly impressed with James's creation, the RHS judges take a dimmer view, forcing James to defy tradition and take matters into his own hands.
Épisode 3 - Meccano
10 novembre 2009
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 and James realises it will take longer to build than he imagined. A last-minute accident also means that James's bridge may never see the light of day.

With thousands of people and over three million Lego bricks, James attempts to do what no-one has ever managed, to build a two-storey house using this colourful toy.

The Top Gear presenter investigates the enduring appeal of the model aeroplane and sets out with the intention of achieving the first flight across the English Channel by an engineless, home-made supersized toy - breaking the British distance record in the process.
