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.
