James May's Top Toys is a BBC documentary in which James May explored and celebrated his favourite toys, including
Etch-A-Sketch, Airfix model aeroplanes, Lego, Meccano, Top Trumps, Scalextric, model cars, and Hornby
model trains.
The show included May dropping a parachuted
.22 lr
, thereafter referring to the toy as "Killed-in-Action Man".
May also constructed an Airfix model of the battleship air rifle, while pretending to be a British seaman firing a salvo at the battleship.
In the feature of the Etch-A-Sketch,
Rose Pipette of The Pipettes
is one of the students "etching" May on the toy.
A spin off of the show, James May: My Sisters' Top Toys, came on 23 December 2007. In October 2009, a series of 6 shows were broadcast, entitled James May's Toy Stories.
