Ep. 6: The Motorcycle Diary (2014-01-03)

Following James May's successful attempt to create a bridge out of Meccano in Liverpool back in 2009, a new challenge was made to see if the mechanical toy could be used to create a fully working motorcycle, and then ride it across the Isle of Man.

Ep. 7: Action Man at the Speed of Sound (2014-12-25)

In 2014, a brand new challenge was devised, involving the Action Man doll.
