I particularly like their description of James

James May Was TG's Secret Weapon

Perpetually hang-dog, with the body language of someone recently stirred from a deep slumber, "Captain Slow" was always the odd petrolhead out. However, his woolly eccentricity was confirmed as the perfect counterpoint to the weapons-grade chirpiness of Hammond and Clarkson's pit-helmeted brusqueness. Even managing to stay calmly befuddled while piloting a "caravan airship" into a field, May was the guy from down the road who'd somehow blundered his way into a multimillion TV franchise.

I doubt the TG3 had anything to do with this! Smacked of the BBC grabbing anything, in the absence of a real TG Christmas Special.
