A celebration with the toys who have survived over the decades, presented using a man who still plays along with them. When James May was three, his father gave him a toy car for Christmas, and also a life in the driver's seat and within a bonnet became his destiny. Forty-two-year-old James takes us using a tour of his childhood mind when he rifles through his boy toy favourites such as Meccano, Lego, Scalectrix, Airfix and, his record # 1 toy, the train set. His passion of engineering and building things has shaped the constituents of his entire toy cupboard. There is not a microchip coming soon. He still plays along with toys - still loves building things along with various sets. Each toy prompts an article - a brief history told via archive, anecdote and obsessive collector.
