Yeah just watched his Toy Stories-series (5 episodes?) and damn I really like that guy. He just seems like such a nice guy, dunno what it is, because generally I A) don't like people and B) don't watch TV. Do you like him and his series or not? Why? Also what other series he's made? I bet there are some that have gone under my radar as it isn't so easy to keep track of what he's up to, without seeing the British TV.
James May's Man Lab started last weekend and was thoroughly entertaining. Learn how to defuse a WWII bomb, make a concrete kitchen worktop and serenade women! http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00vs617/James_Mays_Man_Lab_Episode_1/ (for those in the UK or with suitable proxies)
Seems nice enough. Is that the series where they make the air-fix spit fire and lego house? He is currently doing something called "man lab" which is ok, but a bit on the clearly set up side.
Yes. The ones I really enjoyed were the moon-themed ones from back in the summer. The docu about the moon landings was interesting, but the one where it focussed on him flying in the U2 was fantastic. I like him because he's a bit of a geeky type who's not afraid to confess he loves machines of all kinds. I bet GOO has a soft spot for him too.
The Airfix Spitfire was awesome! So was the plasticine garden I really wanted to see the meccano one too but I only saw these on the late-night reruns and I forgot the night it was on. Man lab sounds awesome, hafta check that out when I get home.
You could try watching some Top Gear, it is the most popular motoring show in the world, featuring James May as one of the co-hosts. It's not as interesting as his other shows though, it's more about Jeremy Clarkson doing stupid things and driving fast cars. Oh, and setting caravans on fire as often as possible.
Yea to be honest I have pretty much the same "hair cut" ATM. And yes, ofcourse I know he's in Top Gear, but recently I've liked his solo production much more. We're all geeks around here after all, and IMO top gear has gone all BS with their Jeremy Clarkson "MORE POWERRRR!!11"-approach. I'd really love to see them try something for real. Gotta take a look at the Man Lab.
How many episodes have been aired? Can't seem to find much info about that. Found the first episode and it was almost good enough for me to send an email to the "ilikedthis@bbc.co.uk" or whatever the address was. Also on another note, just made the most epic of hangover platters ever and am looking for something to watch while helping the munchies.
That was the first episode aired last Sunday, the next one is on 9pm GMT tomorrow so should be "around" soon after 10.
I just remembered the other two things he did which were very good. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_May's_20th_Century http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_May's_Big_Ideas
I had such a massive hangover when watching the first Ep I couldn't really make up my mind or even tell what I was watching. Lets see if the second is any good.. I really liked the Toy Stories.
Watching it now, wont ruin it for anyone that is currently or has not yet watched it but the first part seems to be the best....the rest I didn't enjoy as much.
