I went on the internet (specifically the latest thread about James May's Toy Stories) and I found this:
My Sisters' Top Toys has always been fine; the original hasn't. It had a snowy, blurry picture and was missing the first two minutes or so.
Fear not, everyone, because I've fixed this. I've picked up a new version from thebox.bz which was ripped from the re-broadcast at the end of last year. The screen size is slightly smaller, as is the filesize, but the programme is complete and the video quality is fine.
So I checked the various FTPs and those that I could access didn't have any sign of it.
I tried to upload it to Icebone's FTP but then left the computer as I had dinner... so it went to sleep, the upload failed, and I can't re-upload without the original being deleted first, which I can't do. So, for now, I've put it on my own webspace. And because this is taking up a lot of space, if one of the FTP-running people could host it there, do go ahead and grab it.

Incidentally, if you're wondering why I started a new thread for this instead of digging up the old one:
...the original thread is called "James May: Top Toys on BBC2 tonight 8pm", and it's not on tonight. It's here instead.
Now enjoy once more the story of Meccano, Lego, Airfix, Action Man, Etch-A-Sketch, Dinky Toys, Scalextric, Top Trumps, Colditz, Super Flight Deck and train sets. Especially as a prequel to some of the stuff that the current series is detailing.
^They are called James May's Top Toys and My Sister's Top Toys. From memory, one of these two on the FTPs is a very bad quality dl and has a bit chopped out of it, which is sad. I can't find any other copies though (subtle plea for help)

I realize that. I only wish people wouldn't use worlds like Now and Tonight in headings.
