This is going to be fantastic I can't wait for this. I've often wondered how I
would go about such a challenge myself.

I would probably not like the use of glue as this would be too easy. But then
the prospect of a full size lego house (10's of tonnes in plastic) collapsing in
on you is not that appealing. I wonder If they will make it a two story house?
How would you make the upper floor strong enough to hold the weight of James May
and a full camera crew without using glue?

BTW i hope they don't make the mistake of building big blocks out of small
blocks. Anyone remember the mythbusters episode where they made a giant ball and
rolled it down a hill?
