Suzi sits in with special guest James May, talking about his new book 'The Reassembler', which is based on his cult 大象传媒4 series of the same name. On the show James reassembled a favourite object each week (a lawnmower, record player, electric guitar, Bakelite telephone and a model train), with each object quietly broken down to its components, then carefully reassembled. It proved soothing - almost hypnotic - television, and in this new book James attempts to show the reader how to assemble from scratch these beloved objects and others.
