Ok half irritated and half joyful here.
James May's Toy Stories Episode 1 and 2 was on BBCA on 3/6 at 2am and 3 am and I missed it because BBCA doesn't bother to promote their own programing. BUT....
Toy Stories Episode 3 (Plasticine Garden) and 4 (Mechanno Bridge) will be on 3/13 at 2am and 3am respectively
Set your DVRs my fellow Americans.
EDIT: Sorry, times are Eastern and Pacific.

I'm really not sure where to put this, as it might excite things unnecessarily if the suggestion in the third tweet is wrong and James was actually filming for Man Lab (which he seems to be doing at the moment), but this information has come through in the past 24 hours from St. Anne's Chapel in Barnstaple James May Toy Stories popped in to St. Anne's this week, it was lots of fun with laughs all round.
St. Anne's makes the news again! James May from #TopGear visits. Not to mention local primary schools joining the fun! Get In!
St. Anne's + James May + paper darts = I am not sure what, may be wait until Xmas for New Toy Stories.This picture was with the tweets  (It doesn't say who the other gentleman is) Info on St Anne's: www.barnstapletowncouncil.co.uk/st-annes-chapel-barnstaple.aspUpdate on Toy Stories - the Plasticine garden lives!www.enjoyeaststaffs.co.uk/content/james-may%E2%80%99s-plastiscine-garden-%E2%80%93-back-octagon-popular-demand |

He's wearing the same lovely wooly pully and jacket he wore for the 2nd train race last year. They must think he's only got one set of clothes. * ladies, please refrain from removing the man's clothes off the washing line*  Nice pic.  |

The garden's still going?! I'm ridiculously pleased to hear that - I know how many hours I put into it, as did countless other people. Great to hear it's still making people happy |

Always meant to ask you, Wyvern - and it's a ridiculously rude question - were you a volunteer, or did you get any dosh for your contribution?
Just curious - I'm not from the Inland Revenue or anything

Don't look out of the tower windows, James.....a couple of years ago, I climbed up the tower of the church at West Wycombe and made the fatal mistake of looking down when I was at the top of the tower. Was my face green? Wasn't it just!

Acrophobia is a dreadful thing - I have it too. It makes amusing stories for other people to tell about me - leading a school party into a high tower at Warwick Castle, then having to come back down the steps on my bum because I'd frozen at the top, for instance - but it's not funny when it causes everyday problems. I can't use the Underground in London because too many stations have high escalators that I can't tolerate.

I'm very pleased to hear another Toy Stories is in the making.
*Wonders if he wants help with making paper planes.I have skills from learning from my grandad*
I'm a bit wonkey with hights but only if things look unstable.When we went to Brum we stayed in the Raddison where they have massive floor to ceiling windows.I forced myself to stand up against them and look down.It was very scarey.

I like the fuzziness he brings to toy stories but it is getting a little old hat.
He should do a show where he tries to do other jobs but were he's not allowed to get anal about it.
Or the obvious music ,would sooner he stepped out of the box and his comfort zone though.

I agree he does bring a charm and innocence to toy programs but he is an excellent, articulate presenter and his talent should be spread across many genre's IMO ;D
I still say the BBC should bring back Tomorrows World and get James to front it ;D

That would be so cooll and he can get as pedantic as he wants.One problem though the dreaded Gadget Show.
I hate that bloody program.Except Jason and Ortis they are very funny.

Mr Doel said he didn’t want to give too much away about the show but it is understood the episode will future James May attempting to break some sort of long distance gliding record. ;D Hee, hee. As a teenager, my friends and I engaged each other in a paper airplane challenge of distance and accuracy off the Centre Pompidou. We thought it was an appropriate expression of the art of modern design and aerodynamics. A performance piece, if you will. At least that's what we tried to explain to the security guard.

The Cosford filming was definitely to do with the new Toy Stories, connected to the paper darts; there were a lot of tweets flying around. Someone took this photo. He seems very fond of that jumper/jacket combo at the moment.  |

Just curious - I'm not from the Inland Revenue or anything I got expenses, which I believe were £11 a day, so I made a net loss overall ;D It was tremendous fun being a project volunteer and if I had the chance to work with Plum on another project, I would jump at the chance. Sim in particular was an absolute sweetheart, and Paul, our head model-maker, was the chief cheerleader in the 'go on, buy a Triumph Herald' department (so it's ALL HIS FAULT). |

As Burton-on-Trent is just a half hour drive down the A38 from us, guess where I was today. Although there were CCTV cameras trained on it, there was still something missing... ... a certain fella who made it happen   I like a bit of gardening myself - ok, I confess, I love gardening ;D  |

It's had a few tweaks, I see - whoever put the garland in the tree?! But on the whole, it's holding up remarkably well considering it's almost 3 years since it was built, and it was only created for one weekend!
