      Also his show Toy stories was really cool.

      He would pick a classic toy and take it to an extreme. Like building a people-sized house out of Lego, entering modeling clay flowers into a gardening contest or making a motorcycle out of Meccano.

      He would bring a bunch of people together to make it happen, it was wholesome in a not-lame way. Plus the usual James May antics.

        There’s also a two parter I’ve seen posted to YouTube called Big Trouble in Model Britain where he basically interviewed a bunch of people and conpanies surrounding Hornby (a notable British model train manufacturer)

      His YouTube is a bit mid, I find. Him shilling his gin, lurpak and even doting on the cybertruck.

      I mean all power to him, but I find the content very lackluster compared to the tv he made.

      Loved them. Only thing he did that I did not like that much was his cyberpunk review.
