    I'd love to see James doing a show about the UK, especially covering some of the great crafts-people working in the UK. There are people with amazing technical and artistic talents who deserve recognition and I think James would showcase them brilliantly.

      He did “Oz and James drink to Britain” quite a while ago, which was decent.

    May was always my favourite of the three, and i love all of the shows he's done outside of top gear since the noughties (not reassembler so much, tbh... bit dull).

      There is an episode of that where James says "in the future, its possible we'll be making content like this just for one person", and I thought yup, can only be me watching this bloody lawnmower come back together.

      Top blokes? Nobody forget Mayo was happy to host Bill Wyman on his Radio 2 show and promote his album; Wyman at FORTY SEVEN dated a THIRTEEN YEAR OLD, and slept with her when she was FOURTEEN. Anyone think that's okay? Good old BBC employees promoting grooming sex offenders.

    Well I for one would like to see a Our Man In The UK, and I doubt I'm the only one. And unfortunately it sounds like the Our Man In series is only going to be three episodes going forward, not just India. I wonder who thought that was a good decision. It can't cost any more, they still film plenty that is left out. There's less editing work to make three episodes compared to six, but it seems like such a waste to have from the onset 'Okay, no matter how much good material we get we'll have to cut it down to three episodes'. I think they should have the goal of six when they are planning the episode, and make it more or less depending on what they end up with.

    I watched the series. Sadly, and unlike his previous efforts in Japan and Italy - which were fresh - it was dreadful. Other, more accomplished, British individuals specialising in this type of stuff have, through the years, "done India" so much better.
    Pity.
