Rep Power: 0 ![]() | The BBC has just announced some of the new programmes making up the Autumn season and it includes a new show called James May's Big Ideas, where he will be travelling the world seeking answers to questions that perplex him, such as "can scientists make a double of me?" There aren't any more details on it at the moment but here's the link to the press release: http://www.bbc.co.uk/pressoffice/pre...0/bbctwo.shtml Last edited by Viper007Bond; July 11th, 2008 at 01:48 PM..

The controller of BBC2 seems to think all three will be back with a new series in the autumn:http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2008...bc.television1 | |

| Yes! I really really like James's other shows. It really shows him as a presenter, and he's much better at it than you'd expect, from watching TG | |

| VIP | More Confirmation in this BBC Press Release Quote:
Oh and (although this probably should have its own thread) It looks like the Autumn series will be in HD if you believe the Autumn season PDF. ![]() Although it is possible I'm reading that wrong and it's only HEROES that's going to be in HD (as the logo is under the Heroes bit) and that Top Gear will be as normal - in which case its still interesting as it means TG won't be in HD. Here is the pdf http://www.bbc.co.uk/pressoffice/pre...utumn_2008.pdf Last edited by upyourego; July 10th, 2008 at 03:36 PM.. | |

| VIP | In fact - going back and having another look at the pdf - the HD logo is under some programmes and not others and in a couple of cases under two programmes on the same page - so I think it's more likely that TG WON'T be in HD and that the logo on the grab above is just referring to Heroes (which is already HD). |

Car: Old but reliable Rep Power: 3 ![]() ![]() | Wow, so many goodies! Loved Oz & James' previous two adventures and can't wait for the third. They made me laugh so much - and still do! I had a giggling fit in my local Sainsbury's recently because I came across a bottle of Viognier. ![]() Think I learnt quite a bit about wine through the programme and am looking forward to expanding the lessons to "other alcoholic beverages". As for the "Big Ideas" (How about this for a final title:"Big Hair, Big Ideas"? ) programme - that's probably what he was writing about in the Telegraph earlier this year.Can't wait to see all this! Just hope it won't be broadcast while I'm abroad... |

| This looks promising. His 20th century show was pretty good, but it felt too pre-written and not as infused with James May passion as, say, his Top Toys program. If he gets to direct the writing this time around, it should be much better. | |

Rep Power: 6 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | I read in an Australian Newspaper that Oz and James was in New Zealand. I loved May's 20th Century, his Sister's toys and His toys.

Car: Two feet Rep Power: 10 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | James must be having a busy year! I saw on the Telegraph site that his 20th Century series is coming to DVD now, although I think I might have remembered seeing that a few months ago as an Open University thing. I wish I could get the proper BBC over here... If the autumn '08 brochure that upyourego linked is any indication, it's looking like an excellent line-up. |

Of course I just watch most of it on the iPlayer or through Sky+ so they may as well all be on the same network as far as I'm concerned - but still - all good. | |
