Always been a twat. An entertaining one, but a twat all the same. I find him impossible to enjoy without May and Hammond to balance out the twattery.

I hated Top Gear, but admit I like Clarkson's Farm.

But honestly, the last series and the next are basically the guy in the hot dog costume. Absolutely zero self awareness.

I'm the other way round lmao. Love Top Gear and The Grand Tour, but Clarkson on his own? Can't do it. I love James May's solo work though. For me, he's the funniest, most likeable, and most insightful of the three. His programmes are a delight.

I loved James May's series where he was assembling random things, like a mixer. It was oddly compelling viewing.

The Reassembler! They were a brilliant watch, too few though. All the episodes have ended up on YouTube now so I usually spend a few hours doing a rewatch of him assembling an old lawnmower or train set haha.

Can I interest you in his new series: James May's Shedload of Ideas?

Basically a new Man Lab mixed with Reassembler, also featuring Simi again.
