There are loads of pics of the unveiling of the Meccano bridge in Liverpool yesterday. Here are some I liked:

Is it vertigo he has (dizziness), or is it acrophobia/aeroacrophobia (fear of heights/open high places)? I can't even go up a ladder and would be rooted to the spot in terror if I attempted to do what James has done in Liverpool.

We think it's supposed to air sometime in or around October, but I don't believe there's been an official announcement. The plastacine garden bit was an episode of this series. There are two more segments still to film, Scaletrix and model trains (plus the conclusion of the Lego house).

Well, the book of the show James May's Toy Stories is scheduled for October 5 and the dvd for November 30. It's likely the series will start shortly before or after October 5 then.

There are going to be six 60 minute episodes featuring Mecanno, Plasticine, Airfix, Lego, Scalextric and Hornby trainstuff. He has only finished the first three so far, so he'll be bussy the next few weeks. ;)

Doesn't that French guy who climbs stuff have vertigo too?
I remember an interview with him and he said he's fine as long as he has somewhere to grab on he can get his bearings.

Well i might, even though it means being a "Scott Nomates" again because they're all too far away to come.:(
Have had the museum on my "to do" list for some time, dunno how much i'll get to see with the hordes of people that will be there.

I've found out that the proper building of the house will commence next week.
So, I won't be packing my overnight bag just yet. ;)
