James May speaks of many things, like politics:

For what it's worth, I've always believed that society should have as few rules as possible, rather than the thousands of new regulations this Government churns out every week. In May's Britain, there'd only be one law: don't be a prat. That actually covers everything. Not paying your tax is being a prat. Neglecting your kids is being a prat. Doing 100mph through a town centre is being a prat. As long as you're not a prat, you can do what you like.'

and Oz Clarke:
'If you whacked him with a cricket bat, he'd be saying something about the flavour of the wood as he went down.'

and Hammond:
He's fit and he's a very simple mechanism. It would be like trying to break a tin-opener. You can't really break a tin-opener.

and Jezza:
Jeremy's the least tough, of course. He's got the size, but it doesn't count for much. HMS Hood was a very big warship but it still blew up with one direct hit.'

and their future life together:
The discussion I have with Jeremy is that one day we'll have a pub. I'm quite interested in beer, Jeremy likes wine, we both like eating, so when we stop doing the show we're going to have a Top Gear Pub. Not as a branding exercise where you turn up occasionally like Gordon Ramsay - this would actually be us serving you, all the time: beer, wine, pies, fish-finger sandwiches. We'd live upstairs. But I'm 46, Jezza's a few years older than me, so we'd have to do it fairly soon I think.

It writes itself, it really does

EEEEEEEE!

Jezza and James running a pub. It'd be like Dirty Den and Angie all over again!

- is making my brain squirm. James and Jeremy love each other far more than Den and Angie ever did.

I'm thinking of James as Angie, and Jezza sneaking off now and then a la Den for a litle bit of Hammond on the side... :-D

But seriously, I can't imagine a better definition of the old married couple than those two. This makes me smile so much my cheeks hurt!

It is a very lovely image - It would have to be in the Cotswolds with Hammond living at home nearby. This has ITV comedy drama written all over it.

New series stars next Sunday!

We just bought the Vietnam special and hopelessly giggled our way through it again... I so want the African one.

They really are all three amazing, but James IS my favourite... he just looks at the world in a way that is so totally off-the-planet-lunatic and yet as the same time so sane...

All the specials are available by *cough* alternative means. Have you seen the Oz and James wine tours?

I don;t really have a favourite, tbh. To me, the beauty is in the chemistry, the mix. The Polar Special, good though it is, works least well to me because it splits the group and the group is where it's at for me.

Yes, the Australian TG, though not bad (and better this year now they have jazz player James Morrison, who makes anything better just because) simply doesn't have the magic...

My favourite. Oliver!!!

I'd vote for James May any day - when that man says "Cock" all is right with my world. *g*
