James May cashes in on Top Gear

I don't blame him.

I DO blame Clarkson and Wilman for sulking when Ben Collins wanted to make some money... (the fact that Collins hasn't covered himself in glory since then is immaterial)

i've always thought bbc contracted staff werent allowed to do adverts and the reason gary linekar had been allowed was his contract with walkers was before he joined the bbc...

do they work for the BBC or are they freelance?

don't Clarkson and Andy Wilman 'own' the Top Gear brand and trademarks after the BBC cancelled it the first time ?

Out of all the TG crew, outside of the show, I personally think JM has the most gravitas in the stuff he talks about as it's always things close to his heart.

I really like listening to him (in a non quair way) and enjoy his programmes a lot.

James May for queen.
