James is on HIGNFY on 11/12/09

...and Thick Of It even had a Top Gear reference!

"I despise him as much as fucking James May presumably despises himself." - Malcolm on Steve Fleming.
 
Just finished watching the extended version. I didn't see much difference in James content, compared to the normal version.
 
Just watched the episode, as good as it was with James on it. It was great having Dominic West in it as well (i could not believe his natural accent compared to the one he uses in The Wire).
Even better was the ripping into Swindon and it being twinned with Disney world. I can say as someone that lives in Swindon, when West said "this is the news that the magic world of Disney has been twinned with the tragic world of Swindon" i was laughing my ass off because it is so true. Trust me if they had based their opinion on actually coming to Swindon, the Disney Representatives would never have been heard from again. they would have probably topped themselves because of boredom.
Really enjoyed the episode, typical classic HIGNFY stuff and having West & May in it just made it so much better.

Thoroughly cross that because of snooker and me being away, I only got about 75% of the prog recorded on Monday night - I had used my EPG to set recording, and of course they changed it from short to the extended that should have been on Sat night. Grrrr! :mad:
Hope there's a download of it somewhere.

Why don't you watch it on the iplayer?
 
Because I want to keep a copy of it - yes I am that sad!! :p

and here i was thinking i'd be the only one who was nerdy enough to keep a video copy of everything Top Gear related that gets shown.

it may be possible to find that particular episode of HIGNFY through a search on the newsgroups. in the alt.binaries.multimedia group, programs are regulary uploaded on there about a hour after they air and kept for a week or so. Its a bit technical but there's a chance what your looking for could still be on there. Its a long shot but i thought i'd weigh in with a attempt to help.
