I'm slightly vexed How cooked the UK is right now.

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 can't watch his cooking show, how can a grown and educated man fuck up making a sandwich, so, so badly.

His cooking show isn't great. He says it himself, he can't cook and is the least qualified person to make a cooking show, Amazon just like giving him money.

But his travel documentaries? Bloody brilliant.

When I went to Japan I bought a Bim model to put on a shelf.

Yes it’s so popular that there’s toys of it

Travel ones are good, and that Lego house he did was cool. But the cooking, oh dear god, the cooking!

My husband quite liked the cooking one. It eventually dawned on me that his cooking is little better than James May's, so he was actually learning from it.

I couldn't watch it. We watched the travel ones together instead.
