Join Top Gear’s Richard Hammond, who is on a quest to discover the ‘engineering connections’ behind the world’s most advanced projects.

The James May Collection ($49.95srp) / Available Now

And while we’re on the subject of Top Gear… this must-have DVD box set collects all of James May’s hugely entertaining and in-depth engineering programs.

James May’s 20th Century takes us on a tour of some of the era’s most life-changing inventions in the fields of travel, space exploration, medicine, warfare and city living.

James May’s Big Ideas sees the journalist, presenter and all-round forward-thinker travelling the world to explore the question of whether technology can really deliver us the likes of the flying car, the robotic human or limitless energy.

And in James May’s Toy Stories we regress into James’ childhood, taking the iconic toys of yesteryear and spectacularly supersizing them in an attempt to make them relevant to our current technologically obsessed world… which means building a full size Lego house, a Plasticine garden for the Chelsea Flower Show and constructing a WWII Spitfire from a 1:1, full-scale Airfix model airplane kit.
