James May's Toy Stories is a television series presented by James May. The series was commissioned for BBC Two from Plum Pictures. The first episode, "Airfix", was shown on BBC Two at 8:00 pm on Tuesday 27 October 2009.In "Airfix", he builds a full-sized model of a Spitfire WWII fighter plane, using the plastic moulding and assembly technique used in the Airfix self-assembly plastic toy scale model range. In "Plasticine", he models a full-sized garden out of the toy modelling clay Plasticine, as an exhibit in the Chelsea Flower Show. In "Meccano", he builds a full-sized footbridge out of the mechanical construction toy range Meccano, to cross a canal in Liverpool. In "Scalextric", he reconstructs the Brooklands racing circuit in full size using the slot-car toy racing track used by the Scalextric range. In "Lego", he builds a full-sized house in Dorking out of the Lego toy model brick range. In "Hornby", he re-lays a railway track along 10 miles (16 km) of a disused full-sized railway, the Tarka Trail, using the 1:76.2 scale track used in the Hornby Railways model train range. Of the six episodes, the Hornby attempt was the only one that failed; May revisited it in 2011 with a follow-up episode, "The Great Train Race".
