Good 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…

My Friday night just got better!
Can’t w8!
gonna be really funny.
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.
Fantiastic, i’ll be watching that then
Yay.
I’m on Cloud 9 Heaven on Friday
><
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?
Yipee!! Looking 4ward to seeing Cpt Slow on Friday discussing TG and cool issues, hope JR is not going to be rude to him.
Can’t wait to see that
Ha! Already spread the good word on various forums last week. Almost makes it worthwhile having no life….
Would be nice if Wossy got him to tinkle the ivories (and no i don’t mean Hamster’s teeth!)
I can`t wait!!!
Im really looking forward to seeing that
LOL Dacia Sandero
Thanks for the heads up
Yippee! Gets me more excited for Sunday’s Top Gear!
I cant wait !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!
I wonder how he will have his hair?
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.
OMG that is gonna be one cool show, shame I am gonna miss it on Friday, as going to see Rufus Wainwright, who is also on the show
Yay
James May is the best, I can’t wait ^_^
Jonathan Ross and James May? Awesome.
my foot hurts
This clashes with my Alcohol consumption.
Thank the lord for Sky+ eh.
I hope they go into a long and detailed discussion on the Dacia Santero.
Also @ thestigsbestfriend… Pigtails, I just know it. I can feel it in my waters.
I’ve got a school trip for the whole weeekend, so i miss that and TG on sunday night, cause i will still be on the way home.. sadly.. that means monday is gonna be a huge iPlayer catch-up!
wicked
so
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.
Or even School, ruddy Microsoft keyboards.
im not sure but is a 2006 ford fiesta steel 1.4 zetec engine a good car?????
its goin to be a clash of personalities its goin to be ace
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
There’s only one man in life I love more than my dear old Bodo and that’s James May… I hope that Jonathan isn’t too rough with him!
My mum and dad hate johnathan ross so i guess it will have to be iplayer
maybe there will be a replay of the jross-rband incident
which numpty wrapped a new lotus round another car and hedge outside the top gear track today then? Huh?
Yes a mate of mine was in the audiance, that girl has more Jam than Hartley’s. Still she had a good time and enjoyed seeing James.
Don’t watch Jonathan Ross as a rule but i made an exception when Richard was on ages ago and i’ll make an exception tomorrow! James rocks it should be a great show how about he plays the piano with Ross’s “house band”
get peter kay on the show!!!! top gear
noooooo anything but the dacia sandero
I am looking forward to that. I might be watching it. If it’s bed time, then I’ll record it. It is a musty-not miss. Looking forward to Panemera vs Royal Mail and Usain Bolt! Is he a Bolt in the Chevy?
This is going to be good
Knock ‘em dead James!
ABC….That’s just what I was thinking!
Floral shirt or stripey jumper?
And how about a spot of Maple Leaf Rag on the joanna?
James on Jonathon Ross’s show,what a treat!
can you do about Volkswagen Sharan On T.V please
from saran
Did anyone else think it was a bit random?
What was he meant to be promoting?
go James
James rocks!!
I didn’t like it when Ross kept cutting May off.
I like it when May gets all nerdy… he’s brilliant!!!
That interview was fab. PLEASE ADD THIS AND JEREMY AND RICHARD’S WOSSY INTERVIEWS AS DVD EXTRAS ON THE NEXT TOP GEAR DVD?! Pleeeeeease?!
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?
Brilliant t shirts weren’t they!! and i agree Ross can be very irritating at times but i stil loved seeing James,
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!!
Dear Mr. May,
Although i am only 18, I have ALWAYS wanted to build a house out of LEGO…
if there is any chance that i can help you with such a project, please contact me [c-swain@hotmail.co.uk]
