You can tell that James is a consummate professional as in his attention to detail he has made sure he put the same creases into his shirt 2 weeks later. Both he and his continuity crew need medals.

[@donise8406]

James would like us to think that right after filming the first part he took off the shirt and put it back on then for part 2. Wink Wink Nod Nod

I love seeing James, self made millionaire, nothing to prove, just having fun, doing experiments. He always delivers. I once spent 40, enjoyable, minutes watching him repair a Hornby train. I have no interest in Hornby trains. He is becoming a bit of an enigma. Great bloke. Utter respect.

James also rates (and plays) the music of JSBach. I heard him raving about a Bach keyboard (harpsichord) fugue on Radio 4 and was very impressed. Bach sounds better when being played whilst drinking James May gin (hint-hint!)

James May is one of the few that just looks better and better with age. I hope I'm that lucky.

[@sloht4061]

I mean, he's only 60 and looks 75. His and Jeremy both look 10 years older than they are. Richard has ages tremendously well. It's not smoking or drinking that does that.

[@tilio9380]

​​@@sloht4061 I mean, I feel like Jeremy has been looking like 75 for two decades now. So he didn't really "age". Also I'm pretty sure Hammond is just as much if not more of an alcoholic than the other two.

[@sulphuric_glue4468]

[@Rokudaimedono]

Why is the volume difference so high between the parts where the music is at the forefront, and when it is in the background while the guys are talking? I keep having to turn up the volume when they're talking, then have to turn it down to half strength again whenever it's just music (like at the very end, for example), because it's way too loud. Like, "Sweet bejesus! *scrambles in panic to lower the volume*" type of loud.

[@MrSatyre1]

It's due to the mixer not actually using a phone to play back the final KZbin video. They typically use desktop speakers or headphones, and mix for playback levels on those.

[@Rokudaimedono]

I walked in and walked straight back out again after realising I couldn't see straight, spoke some gibberish to a policeman who asked if I was ok, got the bus back home and went straight to bed at about 8.30pm.

@Der Frosch-Prinz Aus Bayern Right? One could argue that the bug-out bunker videos were just subtle ads for products like Lurpack with how often they got brought up, and that doesn't even support May (unless he has shares in that company as well).

The audio for the video was a bit overdone at the 7:56 second mark. That should be adjusted down a bit for the music in that section, too thumpy, sounded like it was over-driven.

That was pretty funny. 😂 When they started talking about using gin in the cure I thought "hmmm interesting", then when they started adding gin to everything else, especially the eggs I didn't think it would pan out too well.
