As a reader of Guardian Online who sadly has too much time on her hands, I've compiled a list of quotes and snippets, from journos and readers' comments. They all interested/amused me. I'll try to find more if people are interested.
"If you want a good laugh then check out the wine and beer series that May did with Oz Clark, they usually get completely pissed in their caravan every evening and just leave the camcorder running. You can't get more genuine than drunken broadcasting".
"James is NOT gorgeous. He’s hairy, churlish and has curious personal habits." ~ Oz Clarke
"James May's appalling comment about melting ice has turned me off, and I will not be watching TG ever again".(writer disagreed with the science)
"James May, now, is a class act. He can do thoughtful, intelligent and enthusiastic all in the same show".
"…the erudite professor…."
"….his mad-woman-in-the-attic hair…."
"May has his eyes on being David Attenborough for the post-industrial world".
"James May was alright but as his caricature was developed by the other two, any conflict of ideas and attitudes became dramatically inane. He is overrated as a sole presenter -- and just another example of how the British like to be indulged by upper-middle class fogies. A 45 year old child who has never held down a relationship with anything but an inanimate object".
"Perhaps all three could be subjected to analysis for a post Top Gear Show on '21st Century Male Autism'".
"I despise (another character) as much as f**king James May presumably despises himself." (quoted from “The Thick Of It”)
"…..with all the pizzaz of James May with a hard-on……"(from a send-up of Clarkson’s style of writing)
