James May and the Dull Men

It delivers everything it has on the tin. If you enjoy the personality of James May and his interests in lathes, beer and the small things in life then you'll love this.

It is relaxing and interesting without being "overstimulating", seeing James build an ingenious deer repelling device and test the validity of the statement "roundabouts are better than traffic lights" is just fun in a very low key way.

If you enjoyed any of James' other Tv shows then you'll love this. His disdain of TV trickery and straightforward nature really just makes me chuckle and the question he feels he must answer, such as "can you cook a curry in the washing machine", are always funny and informative.

The world needs more James May in my opinion.

Hello @James May - I'm from NZ and we currently have access to this show.

Now, we might be a week or two behind with the show itself, however, I am curious ... why are you focusing on chaps drying their hands?

Most will know that a lot of blokes will pop to the loo and not wash their hands. In fact, they should because they will have contact with certain parts of their anatomy.

Women on the other hand, more likely or not, will usually wash their hands after visiting the loo (I remember with little babies always washing my hands regardless of what I was doing).

So, my curiosity is, why the focus on blokes? Crikey, there's nothing worse in a bathroom (work, airports, etc.) where someone is waiting to use the hand dryer but one feels that they can't complete the entire drying cycle due to the next person waiting. And don't generally wipe their hands on their clothes (well I don't!).

As women don't actually have contact with their anatomy when performing their ablutions would be keen on your research.

Cheers Gilly Blandford.

Is a delightful gem that proves you don't need explosions or adrenaline-fueled drama to be entertained. As someone who adored James May's Man Lab, I found this show to be the perfect follow-up. It's classic James May - quirky, insightful, and unashamedly celebratory of the mundane.

May's ability to turn "dull" topics into fascinating explorations is unmatched. The show is brimming with warmth, wit, and a surprising amount of humor.

It's the best thing James May has done in years. His charm, curiosity, and respect for the "ordinary" make every episode feel like a heartwarming conversation with an old friend.

I absolutely loved it and am already hoping for a Season 2. Bring it on, James!
