My goodness, did he cut his hair, or did their stylist just worked some serious magic that made him look like less of a talking mop?

...And I loved the health and safety dig at the end.

Thanks for the scans, mayhem! Everyone's been posting scans of the cover and such but you're the first one who actually bothered to scan the entire article! This Canadian thanks you.

Some more information about the Ekranpolan that James will be flying/driving in tonight's episode. Including three clips.

I like how in the second one he is fly-driving the thing at high speed and than asks "Okay, how do I stop?"

I'm quite looking forward to this, James seems to make the effort to actually understand the topics which he discusses, rather than relying on researches to write a script (i'm looking at you Hammond's Engineering Connections!).

Missed the first fifteen minutes - my beloved ekranoplan! - but the rest was really good stuff; enjoyed it greatly.

I really liked James's utter joy of flying all those weird flying machines.

And there were so many funny quips, I probably need to watch it a dozen times before I pick them al up.

That bloody rocket pack - sod that for a lark, I would not fly with that on. Loved the Russian Ekranpolan- especially when they let him have a go which was brilliant!

Car/Plane thingy was nice too.

Russian Ekranpolan from another source. ...

weak sct let me down, they have strictly come dancing, Agatha Christies Poirot, and Tess Of The D'Urbervilles but no James May!!! The last 2 are even from RiVER who usually take care of Top Gear/Fifth Gear.
