I absolutely adore this man. Not a petrolhead, so I never watched much of Top Gear outside of clips, but James is a hero. Hammond is benign enough, though a bit too “TV” for my tastes, and Clarkson is Clarkson, for better or worse, but James is almost an aspirational figure. Quirky but confident, softspoken but sharp, simultaneously a cultured gentleman and a bumbling bloke. It’s hard to think of a single living human I would rather have a pint with
