Island shines in TV's Meccano motorbike story

by isleofman.com 3rd January 2014

The unlikely tale of a motorcycle and sidecar built from Meccano and driven around the TT course will be told on TV tonight.
The escapade was filmed during the Festival of Motorcycling last year and features Top Gear presenter James May and his sidekick, wine expert Oz Clarke.
The pair's adventures in the road-legal Meccano outfit will offer glimpses of the Island's tourist attractions and natural beauty to a UK television audience.
James May's Toy Stories will be screened on BBC Two at 9pm.
Producer for independent film company Plum Pictures Will Daws describes the programme as a 'love letter to the Isle of Man'.
And he's paid tribute to local residents for their enthusiastic support:
