James May: The Reassembler is a British television program that has aired on BBC Four since April 2016 .
Each episode is about 30 minutes long and deals with a complex object that has been broken down into its individual parts. James May then puts these components back together and explains their function, their history or other interesting facts that are related to them. Some of these digressions are illustrated with short clips, but mostly the focus is solely on James May and the project on his workbench.
