It's because Top Gear is these guys. It's why the other projects with the same format didn't hit it off as well. They're alright car shows, but they're not Top Gear.
All it needs is a special wineometer to show how much has been drunk at any given time and a voiceover from either Hammond or Clarkson 'despite the fact James is now on his second bottle, he still manages to take the pie out of the oven in time' (obviously when they sit down to eat the fire will then start)
Start a new show, Top Chef. Get Hammond and Clarkson, turn on UA-cam ads, and attempt to cook things. It's the same idea as Top Gear, just with a cooking show. Something that could totally be a legitimate cooking show, but instead is a show of a trio of middle-aged men attempting to make their way through the kitchen. When you get a really tough recipe that no one can make, you have to give it to The Stig's Culinary Cousin.
"Ah yes, a selection of Royal Air Force Second World War aircraft. The other one I'm sure has got cats on it...or something like that." And this is why I love James May.
This was nice, I hope the world will again see the magic that the three make. It is so rare to have such a perfect combination, it's like a car that has everything right.
I wish you wouldn't tell yourself to shut up, I quite enjoy hearing you natter away, you're one of those people that is always full of random facts! I've really enjoyed watching these! ❤️
Honestly I don't even like cooking shows, and this is actually quite enjoyable to watch. Honestly I came to top gear for the cars, but I realize I stayed because of the people presenting those cars. Well done James May.
When I'm making a dish with ground meat(beef or chicken) I season the meat the day before and let it set in the refrigerator. Usually use Italian seasoning mix, garlic powder, and salt. Then once I start cooking, just need to add the fresh stuff and maybe a little turmeric.
The mortar is the bowl and the pestle is the grinder, military mortars actually get their name from this piece of cooking equipment as early medieval mortars resembled the bowl from the mortar and pestle
I love that James' wanky little video already has more views than 90% of the fancy UA-cam cooking shows being advertised to me on the right. Why let Super Famous Chef Gordon Ramsey teach you how to make shepherd's pie in his fancy kitchen studio and high budget filmography when you could have Captain Drunk James May teach you with a cheap phone camera in his own kitchen?
Get Mrs May on this too, Hammond and his other half can join in Chuck in a few more bottles of red and we have some quality Friday night entertainment :)
JM: As you would expect, I've done this properly. My shepherd's pie contains classical, quintessential English ingredients with an exotic twist of Indian spices. It cost me a mere £2.50. RH: Well my shepherds pie sort of... Caught fire. I made this. *Presents box of chips from fish and chip shop* JC: Shepherds pie is for weaklings. I've made vindaloo themed pie with the meat of all the endangered animals I can find. If you're lucky you'll find baby seals. And on that bombshell, its time to end Top Gas Mark. Good night.
James May's tea towel is exactly what you'd expect it to be
As you'd expect, he's done it right
gilburtgtr do want :D
gilburtgtr It was Awesome!
gilburtgtr I want that tea towel. Where does one buy those?
Flood the cowling!
"Shut up James for f**k sake, utter bollocks" 😂
Am I the only one who finds this at least as entertaining as Top Gear? :D
No
Wish he'd get Jezza and Hammond on board with him for this. The 3 of them can literally make anything side-shattering funny.
Szalami But there would be nothing to eat, because they would just argue all the time.
It's because Top Gear is these guys.

***** Umm no. It's an entertaining substitute, but nothing beats Top Gear.
When Jeremy and Richard aren't around, James has to insult himself.
All it needs is a special wineometer to show how much has been drunk at any given time and a voiceover from either Hammond or Clarkson 'despite the fact James is now on his second bottle, he still manages to take the pie out of the oven in time' (obviously when they sit down to eat the fire will then start)
Don't forget the explosions!

Cy Burkhart ... and all the while consuming wine and getting drunk.
Cy Burkhart They could even resurrect the V8 blender for it.
Cy Burkhart but whey would make 3 episodes... each episode would end with burned kitched and or whole house and then what :> ?
Cy Burkhart Seeing what Jeremy cooked on the "budget" convertible episode in Spain, I think this would be an entertaining show
Cy Burkhart it would have to not be stig though because BBC own the rights to stig.
The Stog maybe?
"Again shut up James" hahahahah best channel on UA-cam right now
Top Heat! Tonight, I burn my finger, Richard wears a hat and James cooks a pie *Jessica plays gloriously in the background*
I loved when he scolded himself for being poncy about food LOL
Top Gear? more like Top Chef James
y0Dlucs I'll say watch out Jamie Oliver and Gordon Ramsay!
Certainly.
naXter He beat Ramsay in a cook off already, so it was only inevitable.
y0Dlucs 'James May's Real Food'
How did James go from captain slow, to discoverer of the real source of the River Nile, to cooking in front of youtube
"Ah yes, a selection of Royal Air Force Second World War aircraft. The other one I'm sure has got cats on it...or something like that."
And this is why I love James May.
I admire May for massive trolling. He just uploads random shit and people are buying it just like that :)
Hey it's high quality and I don't lose a thing!
***** Well, not at 360p it isn't high quality :P
RhetoricalQuestion It's a called "irony"
KozenaDrzka It's meant to be ironic...
***** I know I just want explain it to RhetoricalQuestion
The tea towel... oh god that should not have made me laugh so much. It's just so perfectly _James_.
"...far off la- OH SHUT UP JAMES, utter bollocks"
The best part about our modern world is that we get to hang out with Mr. James May while he prepares a delicious meal. Now I'm starving.
If Jeremy or Richard aren't around to shut James up, he'll do it himself xD
You're awesome man!
Pretty sure this is the best thing on youtube right now
I am sure these videos will become an all time classic in a few years for reasons we are yet to able to understand.
Love the flute transitions!
i love the fact that we will watch anything he or the rest of TG presenters do... and the transitions with the flute, you got to love that
I think that may not be on purpose...
I swear James could make a video of how to paint a wall and it would still be the most exciting thing to watch on youtube.
Brings me back to the time you and richard raced the campervans
This is the best cooking show ever made! Don't stop, James! Continue your culinary adventure with gusto!
This was nice, I hope the world will again see the magic that the three make. It is so rare to have such a perfect combination, it's like a car that has everything right.
I didn't expect to spend my Friday afternoon watching James May make a shepherd's pie, but I'm so glad it turned out that way.
This is incredible, you should have Richard and Jeremy as guests! I look forward to more recipes!
I wish you wouldn't tell yourself to shut up, I quite enjoy hearing you natter away, you're one of those people that is always full of random facts! I've really enjoyed watching these! ❤️
This is already well on the way to getting more viewers than the Leader's debates. Can't wait for part 4.
James, it's okay when you're making a cooking episode to make cooking banter. You'd actually make a fantastic cooking show host!
oh boy have i got good news for you
@@captainbeachboy3413 what news is that
@@dwgalviniii may’s amazon prime show Oh Cook :)
please never stop updating this channel. you are my one true love
These are just getting better and better
Honestly I don't even like cooking shows, and this is actually quite enjoyable to watch. Honestly I came to top gear for the cars, but I realize I stayed because of the people presenting those cars.
Well done James May.
James, please keep "rambling" in these videos. I find it very nice!
As usual, you have done this properly. You're too rough on yourself, I loved the commentary!
Love the transitions.
I am in tears at this channel😂😂 go on James!
turn ads on James! you can earn money from it!

James you are magnificent
Its as if he has the entire top gear editing team working for his youtube channel with those intermissions.
I love James he is a very interesting person and he is very talented and I learn lots of things from him
All these cuts! James is getting fancy! LOVE THE SHOW JAMES!!!!!
Now we have musical interludes! James is a fast learner at this vid making lark!
I'm really loving these, especially the little recorder interludes! ;) I'm sat giggling to myself like an idiot!
Best cooking show ever, everything is entertaining James does.
James when you start to ramble, instead of getting angry with yourself just let your self ramble, that's what we know, love and expect from Capt.Slow!
Yay!! More JM unemployment tube!!!! My favourite channel at the mo!!! Go James may!!
I was at Dunsfold yesterday and I met ur friend the stig, James!
Best youtube videos of 2015. :D
Love the new channel, moving on in life, good job
This is seriously awesome and a lot of fun to watch. Keep going James you rock!
I want that towel. James has the best fashion sense.
lamb goes straight in "Bang"
Thanks James May for bringing these videos on UA-cam!
This is awesome james, carry on please :D
All we need onscreen is the Drunk o metre
Best comment I've seen so far! Hahaha
James, your musical interlude is genius.
You're incredible. Please keep making videos. About anything, doesn't matter.
May, can u do a filmed your car and motorcyle collection tour please ?
I'd love to have James as that one eccentric family relation that everyone has.
The mortar is the bowl and the pestle is the grinder, military mortars actually get their name from this piece of cooking equipment as early medieval mortars resembled the bowl from the mortar and pestle
James, please teach us how to do routine service on a Honda, little Honda
James, I love your rambling keep it up. Please dont stop.
Don't shut up :) I like when you banter. By the way this is making me hungry lol.
"Hang on", that cliffhanger ending, didn't see that coming from May !
You should keep making videos no matter what happens self employment right here James
James, Hammond and Jeremy should come up with their own show!
This is like Epic Meal Time, but better! I love you James!
I really enjoy these videos. Please keep making them! :D
May keep it coming, your videos rule!!!
Better then pewdiePIE
Owen McErlean A documentary about a stone is even better than pewdiepie.
BANTER
Then you remember that Kjellberg, like May, studied engineering before he became famous....
+DJ S mmm, Could you link me to this documentary, I'm interested
lol, subscribe to pewdiepie though
PIE!
FMBsChannel No pie on Mars sorry.
FMBsChannel PIE! FTW! Go James Go!
Watching this makes me wonder how long his un edited rants were in top gear.
Love the new channel. Best of luck for the future on UA-cam.
Insulting himself since Hammond and clarkson aren’t there
Please keep making videos
I love that James' wanky little video already has more views than 90% of the fancy UA-cam cooking shows being advertised to me on the right.

James is halfway to his 100,000 subscribers plaque haha
i haven't experienced anything as entertaining as this since top gear was cancelled
James, This is amazing. please keep doing this even after you get a new tv show....
If that musical segue wasn't the best damn thing I've ever seen! Automatic subscribe based on that alone. Good work May.
looks good, is there going to be a part 2? kinda wanna see the completed pie
Get Mrs May on this too, Hammond and his other half can join in Chuck in a few more bottles of red and we have some quality Friday night entertainment :)
There is so much to love
This is the best series on UA-cam
Better than Jamie's 30 seconds cooking show. James is #1!!
Should buy a Go Pro and stick it in the car so he can review his cars for us. :)
JM: As you would expect, I've done this properly. My shepherd's pie contains classical, quintessential English ingredients with an exotic twist of Indian spices. It cost me a mere £2.50.
RH: Well my shepherds pie sort of... Caught fire. I made this. *Presents box of chips from fish and chip shop*
JC: Shepherds pie is for weaklings. I've made vindaloo themed pie with the meat of all the endangered animals I can find. If you're lucky you'll find baby seals.
And on that bombshell, its time to end Top Gas Mark. Good night.
Better than everything else on the BBC..
Don't stop. These are fantastic.
Thank you so much for this channel, It's very nice!
james was always my favorite out of the three , i always found him more relatable
You're a gourmand, how delightful! I love to cook too.
Classic musical interludes. Adds a James May twist to the video.
you should really keep doing this. This is class
We miss you James! I am making this pie this weekend, I'm sure it'll go well.
Gripped. Can't wait for the next instalment.
Bout time James done a few more of these. Quite good :)
for pete's sake James! don't shut up :D love your explainings!
I love how you can see James is getting more confident with his editing hahahaha
This is the greatest thing to come out of top gear ending.
Best youtube account ever, keep it up James.
This is brilliant James ! Please make more ! Do fish and chips !!! Please !!
