RunningDocumentary show

James May returns with a brand-new series, taking on the everyday frustrations that unite a nation in grumbles. From his Wiltshire home, his pub, and most importantly his shed, James sets out to dream up imaginative fixes for the problems blighting Britain and stirring up public annoyance.

Armed with his trademark wit and curiosity – and joined once again by his engineer sidekick Sim and series favourite Tony "The Tool" – James dives into a fresh set of challenges. Whether it's tackling practical irritations or exploring the country's bigger gripes, this inventive trio use humour, creativity, and a shed-load of tools to prove that no problem is too small (or too ridiculous) to try and solve.
