I remember that Top Gear programme when Jezza and Hammond jammed James May's car stereo so that it only played very loud rock music, which he could not turn off. What meanies!

I've never watched Top Gear but James May seems to be quite sensible. Did he not do, some years back, a series on wine with Oz Clarke? I think, from what I have heard here, he could be offered a Saturday Classics spot? May be a lot better than the previous (Simon Heffer excepted)Comment

But I did think JM's answer was quite a good one, though I'm not sure he would have heard a talk lately on Radio 3 on the music of Scriabin. Perhaps he does need to be ... brought up to speed.
