Tonight | James May’s Shed Load of Ideas on SBS 2: James takes on traffic wardens – James May’s Shed Load of Ideas premieres tonight. The former Top Gear presenter heads to his Wiltshire workshop to fix Britain’s everyday annoyances, starting at 9.20pm on SBS 2.
The series is all about inventive solutions, clever tips and practical fixes. No challenge is too big or small.
May is best known for Top Gear and The Grand Tour, but he has long been known for his love of making and fixing things. This series puts that front and centre.
Meet the team
James is joined by engineer Sim and carpenter ‘Tony the Tool’. Across the series, they tackle everything from traffic wardens and fly tippers to noisy neighbours and irresponsible dog owners.
Locals also call on the team to repair treasured possessions. Those range from train sets to toasters.
Episode one: Traffic Warden
The first episode takes on incorrectly issued parking tickets. James, Sim and Tony work on the problem in the Wiltshire workshop.
The team also look for ways to make chip cutting more efficient at James’s pub.
And there is a repair job too. They attempt to get local Roger’s antique wind-up boat back on the water.
It is a gentle, practical series with plenty of May’s dry humour.
James May’s Shed Load of Ideas airs Wednesday 11 November at 9.20pm on SBS 2 and streams free on SBS On Demand.
