James May: The Reassembler
Discussion
I anticipate this with some relish, but even so the producers do themselves no favours saying "James May is the ultimate man in a shed" - it's not even his shed, and the late F. Dibnar probably has that award in perpetuity...
Even then Guy Martin has a claim to shed greatness.
(Actually the Ladybird 'book of the shed' is the definitive tome on this. https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/291386/the-ladybir...

I was speaking to the expert behind the phone episode the other day, he's an old boy who has worked on the phones all his life and now converts antique phones to modern use. He showed me the phone they used to train on, I wouldn't have a clue where to start. Sounds like an interesting programme though, if maybe a bit of a stretch to fill an hour.
according to epg, 30 mins each:
Ep1: James explores the intricacies and engineering of various objects by putting them together again from a pile of their component parts. In the opening instalment, he is faced with the 331 pieces that make up the Suffolk Colt, a 1959 petrol lawnmower.
Ep2: The presenter continues in his quest to put history back together again one piece at a time by tackling a 1957 Bakelite dial telephone, a challenge involving 211 pieces.
Ep3: ...this time reassembling the 147 pieces of an electric guitar. James' task will entail soldering, extensive use of his precision Japanese screwdrivers, and some fiddly electronics, before he attempts to channel Brian May in a solo performance.

On in half an hour and will no doubt will be a pleasant way to pass thirty minutes.
I don't know if it is a series, if it has been on before and I've missed any or if there are going to be more.
I'm watching a lot of BBC4 these days, I am older than my actual 45 years? Some blimmin brilliant stuff on there...
