James: on Jonathan Ross this Friday

Posted by Sam Philip at 2:28 pm on Wednesday July 8, 2009

MayGood news if you’re planning a Friday night in: we’re told by secret telly elves (and the listings guide) that James May is appearing on Jonathan Ross this Friday at 10.35pm on BBC One.

We assume this means James is appearing on the Jonathan Ross show, not on Jonathan Ross himself. Seems unlikely. They’ll probably be talking about stuff in a witty and off-beat format, as is the wont of his show.

Thing is, we don’t know exactly what they’ll be discussing. Top Gear, we’d assume, and maybe James’s awesome space mission. Beyond that, who knows? Hair care tips? Fashion advice? The Dacia Sandero?

If you want to find out, tune in to BBC One at 10.35pm this Friday. Or just catch it on the iPlayer on your hungover Saturday morning…

    But it clashes with the season finale of Dexter! Deary me, who is responsible for this scheduling calamity? It’s going to have to be i player I’m afraid.

    I find Jonathan Ross to be an over-paid “entertainer” who, time after time, fails to do so. I count him along with people like Graham Norton and John Barrowman, who are big and brash, and are generally as irritating as hell to anyone with an IQ of over 25.

    Entertainment generally entails people being entertained by that which they are viewing, rather than irritated by inane, rude or just downright stupid comments/jokes/acts.

    Jonathan Ross, not a fan, hoping he would be gentle on our James.

    Heat magazine said that while they were rehersing last weeks Johnny Toss, Jeremy went into Ross’s dressing room to look at Ross having a shower and that Jeremy enjoyed that.

    Apparently he was at the Telly Centre to film 8 out of 10 cats , but when is Jeremy on that?

    he will take ross’s comments on the chin and will still look a great bloke at the end coz he is tellies most funny witty and clever person, imagine james may doing ross’s job……. yeah exactly easy as, we love you james may and i wish i knew you personally coz your a great bloke, i am not being a stalker but oz and james adventure and the humility you show make you an icon of what a british person should be and more of you would make the world a better place! There rant over but I really mean it.

    Hamster’Distruction, forget the schol trip and go to spelling classes.
    Destruction is spelt with an E, and there should be an S after Hamster’.

    Bad enough in the comment, but in your screen name, it makes you look like a Muppet.

    Johnathan Ross and James May, right better pack a balaclava and AK47 machine gun. James will bore us to death. I’m only watching if he chats about cars.

    Maybe James will show Ross up for what he really is. Be great to see how Jonathon responds to someone with brain

    It was horrid of Jonathan to say he wouldnt like to get stuck in a lift with James….
    who wouldnt want to be stuck in a lift with James?
    Jonathan kept being anoying, I wanted to listen to James talk not him ¬_¬
    I also want one of the piano players t-shirts, how fab where they? :D

    What an annoying interview. Ross kept on breaking off May’s comment. Ransom subjects where May hardly could react on. Photoshop of ms Clarkson with the head of Hammond. Not funny and how should May react on that. If that’s all Ross can do, he isn’t worth his money.

    Unlike one or two who have posted comments, I never find James May boring. Thanks to the programme, I now understand why the penny farthing was built in that ridiculous shape! Just a shame that he wasn’t allowed to explain how modern skyscrapers are erected.

    I videoed the programme to watch Saturday morning, while eating my breakfast, as I’m not a fan of Jonathan Ross. Which meant, of course, that I could fast-forward through the bits I wasn’t interested in.(And wouldn’t be in grave danger of choking on my toast at any of JR’s annoying comments during the other items.)

    Yes, Jonathan is very irritating – but that’s what he does, I’m afraid. I thought Mr May handled him with great aplomb.

    As for Ms Westwood: for someone who is supposedly concerned about the planet, she used an inordinate amount of material on her posh frock, didn’t she.

    Thanks for highlighting that James would be making an appearance. It wasn’t mentioned in the Radio Times and I never watch that programme!

    Jonathan Ross is very annoying! I genuinely wanted to know the things James was saying. I wouldn’t mind being stuck in a lift with James, rather that than Jonathan Ross!!
