The stories behind the iconic structures and engineering feats that have shaped and defined our nation and our world.

In the first episode of Project Binky, we take a rotten old Austin Mini and strip it down to a bare shell. We then take an angle grinder to it and cut it to pieces. It's only then that the customised rebuilding process starts. We're trying to create one of the fastest Minis on the planet. We're going to rebuild it with the engine and running gear from a Toyota Celica ST185 GT4. Or at least that's the plan. Whether it comes off or not is another matter. We're filming this as it happens so what you see is only a few weeks behind where we're actually at so we're not sure yet whether we can do it. That's kind of the fun though. Stick with us through the highs and the lows of the project. Hopefully it'll be worth the agony and cash. Feel free to share it far and wide!

Impossibly large structures... Teams with a mission to move them! This is the kind of daunting challenge facing teams of building movers from the UK, America and Canada.

Four engineers- Aaron, Abe, Robert, and Phillip, work on a project to reduce the weight of objects. They discover that their device is actually a time machine. Abe builds a larger time machine and they begin using it to make money in the stock market. However, their experimentation leads to comatose states and the appearance of Thomas Granger. Abe tries to stop his past self from using the machine, but Aaron reveals he has control and has been manipulating events. The two continue to use the machines to change the past and create multiple versions of themselves. Brain damage occurs due to excessive time travel. Aaron plans to tamper with the machines to prevent their original selves from using them, while Abe remains to interfere with their doubles. The movie ends with the construction of a large box.
