Yeah that show is rather genius. This was I think the last bit of James May’s contractual obligation to create an original series for the BBC and boy was it a thing… three cameras in his shed who’s operators can be seen and heard giggling of as James May makes watching the slow assembly of appliances a fun zen like experience.
What I’m sure started off as a “how can I fulfill my BBC contract with the minimum amount of effort” joke but executed with expert skill. Hell his ‘unemployed’ Youtube videos were fun.
