James May's Man Lab

[g4ry13]

I don't think i'll be watching this again.

[NotNormal]

What a load of utter tosh. Massively boring and all totally irrelevant to anything at all.

Such a shame as it had potential

[Larry Dickman]

I'm enjoying the bomb disposal lessons, I've always wanted to be able to do that.

[Jonny671]

I want to love it.. It's James May and he's excellent, but this just doesn't work.

[Dunk76]

Isn't this just a mild revamp of Why Don't You?

Neither amusing, nor informative, nor interesting.

Miss.

[Hammer67]

Complete codswallop.

[zollburgers]

Turned it off, boring pointless crap. I would rather eat a banana (ewwwww) than watch that again.

[g4ry13]

How to arrange fish fingers on a piece of bread.

[Gun]

Utter st, almost as bad as Bang Goes The Theory.

[AnotherClarkey]

Oh dear. Wanted to like it, can't.

[NotNormal]

Next week looks like more of the same rubbish so I won't be bothering to watch any more episodes

[Piersman2]

Oh dear. Was hoping James May would be able to do a show perhaps aimed at grown ups.

Unfortunately it appears the people who think Brainiacs was a good idea have been involved.

So a show filled with short attention span editing and 'fillers' for the hard of thought.

Such a shame, I really was expecting better from James May. Much better!

[Larry Dickman]

Guess I must be hard of thought then & in the minority, I actually enjoyed it.

[HalfMoon]

Utter drivel...

Could have been so much better.

Anyone spot where the advert breaks will be when its sold to Dave?

I thought it was quite dire. All over the place, lots of coming up next (see above), no real direction and a hotchpotch of ideas.

A three programme affair? Odd. I would give it an hour special!

AND to top it all there was no how to wire up a plug in it.


Very poor compared to his other programmes. Will I watch it again? Yes, but only 'cos there is nothing else on.

He did mention some guff about the wire colours and then got the the old colours wrong - he said balck was the live!

Yes, I agree. It had so much promise but failed to deliver a big shame but like you I'll proberbly watch it again as theres nothing else on!

Me too... Although it helped that I have a horrendous hangover and needed something straightforward and not too fast-paced for my tired brain to keep up with!

[grumbledoak]

I enjoyed it for James' presentation, and it was decent enough light entertainment and funny in parts. But, outside the bomb disposal it could have been a lot more informative.

James May is a tt from TG IMO. I don't like his CAMRA image at all.
