    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

        Thought it was pretty good. Premiered about a year ago.

          I've watched the first two. It's about as "James May" as it can be.

          That's a good thing.

                    I don't think Canadian-American Patriots fans qualify.

                    Education is extremely important.

                          There’s another show with Richard Hammond and one of the three B-Side Mythbusters where they are stranded on a desert island.

                                Richard Hammond is not as interesting as James May.

                                Speaking of Hammond... do you guys remember the Wacky Iraqi? (May he rest in peace). That was his name as well. I remember thinking for a split second "Could he be Top Gears Richard?"

                                  I watched a show with Hammond on, and realised that without the other two he's a bit dull.

                                  Clarkson's more than a bit of a tosser, obviously. It's never been fully clear how much of that is actually him, and how much is schtick.

                                  James May is great.

                                        That wasn't just hamming it up for the show, by the way. If you watch any DRIVETRIBE or FOODTRIBE, May mentioned that they straightup killed the lights on him because they wanted him to leave to do something else in the factory, but he wasn't having it.
