It focuses on the unlikely pair traveling to help members of the public, professional makers, and enthusiasts take their crafts to the next level. During a recent episode, Jay found himself in the firing line after enrolling in a barrel-making course. Sir David instantly made a comment about Jay's skills prompting the latter to walk off screen.
Unfortunately for fans hoping to catch the show next week, they'll have to wait as the new series will be pulled from the schedule to accommodate the Africa Cup of Nations matches reports say. According to an outlet, Wednesday’s episode of David & Jay’s Touring Toolshed will now be broadcast on Saturday, February 10.
The series premiered last Monday on BBC2 at 6:30pm, and viewers have been able to enjoy a brand new episode each day. Hailing recent episodes a success, one viewer said: "Loved the show. Didn’t realise DJ was such a tinkerer. Great blend of learning & comedy.” A second added: “First class viewing..loved it."

Bradley Walsh spotted for the first time since ITV axed drama series
TV legend Sir David Jason is best known for his role as Derek 'Del Boy' Trotter in Only Fools and playing Jack Frost in A Touch of Frost. He previously said about the new series: "I think it’s really great to be able to encourage people of all ages to try their hands at different skills and past times as we are hearing so much more about being mindful and having different hobbies to help with our mental health."
He added: "I’ve always been interested in building models and tinkering with anything mechanical. As a teenager, I started to gain some knowledge about motorbikes and so I went about saving and buying a BSA B31 vintage motorbike. On its first outing, the frame broke and so I had to learn how to fix it and my passion kind of grew from there. Over the years, I’ve restored motorbikes and penny arcade machines amongst other things."
It comes after the actor revealed he still dreams of his big break in Hollywood at the age of 83. He said: "I try not to look back too much. The past is a foreign country, they do things differently there, but I couldn’t be happier with how my career has turned out." He added: "One of my ambitions is to be part of a major movie, as that would complete my dream of a Hollywood experience. Any producers out there?"
