Data Graham posted:"James may no longer work for the BBC"? But when will we know for sure? I assume by "Richard Hammond and James may no longer work for the BBC" they mean "Richard Hammond and Richard James." I had no idea that Aphex Twin was a BBC presenter, or that now he may no longer be.

If we're going to do "Fantasy Englishmen on Top Gear," I'd like to add Karl Pilkington and Pegg/Frost. Edit: Or Nicko McBrain. I feel he'd be hilarious (and barefoot).

Reporters have been camping outside his home for the last few weeks and he has not punched or driven over even one of them. I have been meaning to throw this in here as well. If you like James or the non-award winning Man Lab, check out his book How To Land an A330 Airbus: And Other Vital Skills for the Modern Man. Its kind of Man Lab in a book and the audiobook is narrated by May himself. Its good if you want to learn how to land a Airbus A330 or drive a steam train or how to eat your friend.

Clearly, they actually liked the Burmese people (and, to be fair, most of the Argentinians as well), and went on at length about what a beautiful country it was and how friendly the people were. The Guardian can't even keep straight what things it's actually pissed off at.

Haven't seen anyone post this, so apologies if I'm being a slowpoke: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-32137424 Basically, they are involving Jezza in the Top Gear Live shows, except they will now be "Clarkson, Hammond and May Live". This could work very well for the presenters. Gives an instant foot in the door for [network] to have exactly the same show as TG, only called, well, "Clarkson, Hammond and May".
