2016-04-04
When we look around our homes, sheds and garages we see an array of household objects that with one click of a button or twist of a knob will spring to life, and - most of the time - do exactly what we want them to. But how on earth do these objects work? To find out, James May (fuelled by endless cups of tea) heads into his workshop with thousands of little pieces to assemble some of our most beloved and recognisable objects from scratch to see what it actually takes to get them to work.

Dumb and Dumber (en)
1995-10-28
The mind-blowing adventures of America's favorite morons take a surreal turn in this cartoon spin-off of the smash success comedy movie Dumb and Dumber. The show starts off with the duo rescuing their dognapped van, Otto, and picking up one strange pet, Kitty, a purple beaver, then hits the road for the ridiculous with the pedal to the metal. No circumstance is to strange for this show's satire, from the mundanities of physical fitness and test piloting to the insanities of robot mailmen and speeding taco-mobiles rigged with stink bombs!
