Actually I think it's from today or yesterday. Andy is in the background and from what I can gather the dog was a guest on there this week for the RSPCA.

That's what I gathered from the twitter post too. Wondered if that was Andy. Promoting the new series?? Great pic.

Oh, I wondered if that was Andy, but one of the tweets referred to the One Show, and there was a photo of the dog on that programme with Bernard Cribbins last year. Perhaps I missed a tweet and confused the dog's two appearances. Apologies.

I know James likes, "..dogs and cats." and his lifestyle is better suited for a cat, but I really wish he had a big, sloppy, smelly dog. It would be his best buddy and teach him (if he already doesn't know) about patience, dealing with messes and getting over embarrassing moments...like a child. ;D FENTON!!

Actually, I don't think that's Andy. That man appears to have some sort of radical haircut.

I've found a bit more info and a couple more pics. They're from a website for Lanebern St Bernards, and the lovely doggie is called Tia. The relevant tweets run as follows: Tia appeared on BBC's The ONE Show on 22/01/2013 with Matt Baker, Alex Jones & Bernard Cribbins! She also met James May from Top Gear!
Our Lovely Tia the St Bernard meeting James May at the Studios whilst waiting to go on air at The One Show Apparently The One Show is recorded at BBC Media Village in White City, London. So this doesn't explain why the meet-up happened, but just gives a bit more information. (I have to go Marpling when I don't know the answer to something!) Oh, and the photos.

Tia does look like a lovely, pattable dog. She's got that thick, cushy winter coat on right now.
All that hair and slobber would wreak absolute havoc on the Panda, I reckon!

Wasn't it a St Bernard that he had to fit in the small hatchback? I think James likes animals in general. Remember "I like a goat" ?

It was. And a much larger example of the breed. The one above is a female, and to my eyes, looks like she might not be fully grown. The one in the hatch was a male dog and an exceptionally large example of the breed, as well.

Although she may not get too much larger. James just looks so natural with pets and animals in general. He has said before that he goes all soppy for 'small and furry'! ;D Gotta' love a man who has a soft spot for animals! ;D

(I have to go Marpling when I don't know the answer to something!) Oh, and the photos. The Top Gear Office is based at the media centre and has been for some time, so they were probably there working, got "whiff" of a very cute dog on site and decided to be nosey, after all the TG office is above where they film The One Show ;D

I'd forgotten that fact - now I remember the radio controlled cars that they sent up/down the building so that they appeared on the outside window of the One Show!
I'm actually amused that James is paying a lot of attention to the dog - and the dog's not taking a blind bit of notice of James!

I think he is definitely more a cat person and the dog senses that!!!!!!

I would have thought more likely something spikey! I don't know whether his eyes could get much bigger.
Or it's a case of
"Grandma James, what big eyes you've got!"
"All the better to see all my JMB Mayhemmers with."

Is that ... a smile? Iain usually goes out of his way to look grumpy on Twitter, but that expression looks suspiciously like a smile. ;D
