There was a chap called Mike Rutherford as well who I think was on the ITV one - another cheeky wheeler dealer type and not a member of Genesis. And another Jason who was lanky, Irish and wore glasses.

    Excellent. The ejection seat looks like the one from a Mythbusters episode in 2006.

    The Ancient Ones remember a time when a man called Jason would appear, and James May was just the distant legend from a lost age when the world was ruled by a man called William Woollard. A wise and just ruler who placed a firm but respectful foot on the bumpers of our lives.
