he is probably the only person in the world
willing to give answers to the press and being a genuine nice person
probably the only celeb that has ever actually offered a cup of tea after lunch time to the reporters. lol
@@KAMIKAZE-dk8xd Nah Boris Johnson of all people quite famously brought tea out to a group of reporters
Joey Ros also Richard Hammond would do the same
Just proves what is possible when a person has nothing whatsoever to hide.
these are his No.10 Downing Street moments
I think he should be called Captain Patience.
Maybe he's just slow to anger lol
logan casner @logan xd
@@logancasner8467 Bible reference!! 😃
@@jaypaint4855 no he's Captain Slow...
6 years late but he's Captain Slow-Tempered
Such a wonderful human being.
Top Gear is amazing.
@@boyhuskyfilms1907 it was now nope
@@sv52308 the grand tour
We always knew our (civilisation) was going to end...
literally what I was saying, he is so nice and polite. The best neighbor.
He really sounds like a genuinely good bloke.. No bullshit., down to earth, easy going with reporters when they were being annoying, AND in the end offered them tea. Brilliant.
Just like Boris Bohnson
@@yumyumishappy1934 expect that Boris doesn’t just for good publicity since he’s a politician
Also Boris is genuinely stupid while James is not
tbf the reporters were pretty good for uk reporters
@@ovenshark3738 they usually get told what too ask repeatedly too either get a different answer to a question they word it differently but the same question is repeatedly asked too annoy the interviewee hopefully so they snap
What a Gentleman. So kind and patient and even Offering some Tea. We need more people like "Mr Slowly" James May.
what
what what
Captain Slow*
In Italy they call him Mr Slowly, which is even funnier than Captain Slow.
TakerKaneanite619 Haha my bad, I just saw an episode about it. My apologies.
Every celebrity should be taking notes watching this video.
The paparazzi are much more respectful when compared to other encounters tbf
and every reporter too
more like the press, those guys were respectful
@@Danneleet Jutland was
I think him speaking softly, just loud enough for them to hear him. they have to be quiet and really listen lol
Quintessentially English, I love James May!
superchunkylover23 I love how he offered them a cuppa tea if they knock back later
@@SW-le3kx hence "quintessential"
He's what "british" should mean in many ways, not what it does mean.
James May on his doorstep is better than the whole of the last season of Top Gear.
Not to take away from how great James is, but catching Chlamydia is better than watching one episode of the new top gear. Lol

why this interviewer sounds like a Charlie from Clarkson's farm? xdd
his answers are captain quick
@@Mambrin1 He does!
"I'm going now, I've got some sugar puffs to eat."
And a custard cream
im gonna cook a shepherds pie and make a film for youtube, erm gardening. 😂
SB some DIY jobs...
SB got a couple of DIY jobs to do. 😂
Funny thing is he actually made that video lol
@@tehgzizlauw1787 nice
I had to pause the video there cuz i was laughing so hard 😂😂
I love how hes so amiable that by the end they've literally forgotten its an interview
James At His Doorstep.. sounds like a great new show.
Tonight on top gear: I punch a producer James is interviewed on his doorstep and Richard is nowhere to be seen
Indominus Rex puahahhahaahha good one.
better than no.10 Downing St.
Yeah let have that
"Hello"
he speaks so politely and eloquently. hes a very interesting and friendly person.
santino4561 upvoted for yellow brick road
James May is the most likable man.... in the world...
The most likable man, pause, in the world.
what about the italian guy who looks like jeremy clarkson "pawrouse, in de werld"
I always knew I liked him, but that at the end, the photo for the fan, offering the cameramen a cuppa, such a nice guy.
James May makes me proud to be British!
Vincent Borsum lol 😂
Vincent Borsum It's the Aussies that are upside-down, not the Chinese.
@@jakajhah-0what?? How/why?
James is an English Man
I think he might be the only human on earth that can get an interviewer to say: "no comment"
What a man
He's so polite to the media. He doesn't have to talk to these guys at all but does because he's a nice guy
Also, props to May for backing clarkson
James wanted to know if they were told specifically to be there, or if they had a choice of assignments they could have taken on and they reply with "no comment"? Weak. James answered their questions as best as he could. James expressed a genuine interest in knowing how they receive their tasks and go about doing their job and they couldn't give him any reply.
The way James handled them right up to the offer of tea at the end was world class.
He tried to turn the interview around on them, they just weren't having it, haha. Which is a shame, I'd love to see May interview a bunch of news reporters out of the blue like that... But yeah, he seems like a really nice guy, giving genuine answers, not trying to start drama, and offering the tea
Sadly it's probably because if they were to out their employers like that, they'd lose their jobs
@@ChrisTuffursStuff That's exactly why. Their non-answer speaks volumes
@@El-Burrito Good point, I never thought of that.
Don't blame them. They probably aren't allowed to say anything else when asked something like that.
This is honestly one of the best things I've ever seen. James May is an absolute legend. And a random Albanian showing up to interrupt the interview with effusive praise is just a perfect, fantastic touch.
What a man.
I love James May, is a very generous celeb. I once walked into him in Hammersmith he just went shopping. I really wanted to compliment him on Toy Stories, his Book and Top Gear but I felt it would be intrusive as other people came up to him and started to ask questions. But he treated them with the utmost respect and friendliness.
He's hilarious but he doesnt realise it
would be better if he wore a jumper with a diamond minecraft sword on it
A custard cream
he does, thats his thing
He's not trying to be hilarious. He's just being himself and that's what makes it so good.
Oh trust me he’s aware
wow I thought he would be living in a big house but that neighbourhood looks quite modest
He might have more then 1 house... lol
He lived in Hammersmith in which house prices are around £1.5million. Even flats are £750k.
@Lifeline Bot I'd do the same honestly. but Id move far far away.
I think he lived in one of those old houses but hes renovated it. Pretty sure hes spent alot of money on it
@@mintjellymedia5819 he bought his around 20 years ago before the property boom for £350k, then bought the neighboring property for £310k a few years a go because it was dilapidated, it's now estimated to be worth £3.5 million, one of the best investments of his life.
Massive respect to James for being so polite and kind to the media monkeys even if he was annoyed inside his head!
i just finished watching his cooking video where he made the sheperd pie with that same sweater on, amazing
I in fact followed his recipe and made one! 4 months ago!
@@SudiptaKarmakar87 im a bit late but how was the pie
@@tabithasinclair6821 6 YEARS LATE
That guy is a legend he is so down to earth and true to himself. As long as the press are respectful to him he is respectful back.
I love the top gear trio precisely because Jeremy, Richard and James all compliment one an other in terms of personality. Jeremy is brash and speaks his mind but has some great points and knows his stuff. Richard tries to keep the peace, inject a bit of humor and has his motorcycling background to bring to the car table. James is Captain slow, the thoughtful and more relaxed of the three presenters and perfectly balances out Jeremy and Richard. An enjoyable trio to watch for sure.
"I'm going to run away to America with Jeremy" Well this was rather accurate.
Lol 🤣🤣👍☮️
and it turned out to be one of the best decisions of their TV careers 😆
Grand Tour was mostly filmed in the UK and they all still live in the UK?
@@jaymercer4692 first episodes in the us
@@jaymercer4692 Amazon prime video... Um American
May deserves the praise he's getting in these comment, but to be fair to the journalists they were quite polite as well. Their job can be seen as a nuisance a lot of the time but these guys were calm, didn't press him super hard, and were generally respectful to all involved, even to the fan that stopped by.
Yeah, the fact he said “no comment” when asked whether he chose this story or was forced to do it in my opinion says enough. They don’t want to be annoying James either.
Love James May, Wish everyone was as pleasant as him.
He really didn’t have to be that nice. The fact that he responds so calmly to reporters showing up at his door unannounced says a lot about him. Good man
“I have to sell my car” he’s taking the piss out of them while being incredibly patient.
he seems like a genuinely nice person
James is such a nice, humble, gentleman. I'm seriously surprised he doesn't live lavishly in a nice mansion like any other celebrity. And imagine if this was Kanye West getting bombarded by reporters at his front door, someone would definitely get knocked out.
That is because Kanye is an egotistical asshole and James May is respectable and kind person.
I'm pretty sure his home is in an upmarket area of London. It probably cost as much as a 6 bedroom mansion in the countryside
@@generichuman2044 Yeah, it's in Hammersmith. That house will be worth a couple of million at least.
@@ejl1000 IIRC James bought his house back when Hammersmith was a bit of a dump. It's just gentrified around him in the meantime.
James is a legend. Comes across as such a nice guy, relaxed & joking with these guys. In return he got polite questions and banter. A few more celebs could learn from this way of dealing with the press on their doorstep.
OMg he is like such a nice man! "If u want a cup of tea just knock and ask"
360p in 2015?
*slow clap*
Sky News HD.....
.
Doug Armstrong It takes time for RUclips to process the video because it has to compress the footage before its released
nobody is moving. so 360p is ok.
must have my level internet
What a nice, calm, respectful person. He actually answered the questions that were presented to him.
He's so kind and accepting of the interviewers. What an exceptional man.
Can't believe how polite he is, has to be awkward with press outside your home all day every day.
"No, I am still quite slow" 😂😂
The Grand Tour starts very soon. So glad these three are still active.
4 days!! prime here I come!
TANORWAY no, the second special is ready to go according to Jeremy
Edit: around 2 months away at time of edit (17:10 GMT, Wednesday 29th April 2020)
@TANORWAY it was supposed to be 4, but Corona got in the way. Can't blame them for that.
I love British interviews. In America they would be like hounds on fresh meat. The interviewers where very polite, asked very good questions, said when information WASN’T CONFIRMED, and just overall very nice.
I don’t know why but I always come back to this from time to time and appreciate the attitude of a well spoken gentleman like James May
That red door is so British.
TheBeardedMan how, how is that a British thing
yes indeed, the colour red is only permitted to be used in the UK.
god save the queen
What a humble man :)
What an awesome guy. Even though the press annoys him a bit, he is so kind hearted that he still offers them a cup of tea and tells them when the next time he is ready for and interview. It's hard to find people like that nowadays, especially in show business, but then again the press can get annoying so I don't blame them entirely.
Hope the 3 of them are back on TV soon
I hope they start a youtube channel lol
extremestick yup nothing stopping them, they could make their own top gear without rules lol
ANON USER500
Rules or funding...
between them they have about 50 million pounds i dont think funding is a problem lol
ANON USER500 A year of Top Gear costs about £7mil to make. That's about 2 seasons or 14 episodes (they generally split two seasons over a year with about 7 episodes each, though this has fluctuated quite a bit over the years).
Most of Top Gear gains its money by the BBC pawning it off onto other channels across the globe, plus merchandise etc.
With RUclips, the lads won't have nearly enough fire-power in the merchandise area, and it'd be pretty hard to sell RUclips videos to TV channels.
Essentially, the BBC spend a bucket-load on making Top Gear, but make an absolute mint in return. To have the same quality, the lads would have to spend about the same amount of money, for VERY little in return in comparison. They'd essentially be making the show out of their own pocket.
That's not to say they wouldn't make a lot of money from the RUclips videos, but they'd have to rebrand everything, because the BBC aren't just going to let their top show slip through their fingers.
All in all, Top Gear on RUclips will never happen. I do, however, love the idea of watching James May continuing his Unemployment Tube, because it's awesome.
They should put his picture in the dictionary next to Bloke.
Haha classic James may living in the style of 1953! 😂😂😂
what a nice bloke, it appears he genuinely deserves his good fortunes
He published his video on how to make a shepherd's pie 3 days later. Good on him
I love how he just talks about all the other things he will do that doesn't involve top gear.. Just to get under their skin hahahaha love ya james
I love that he actually did make that Shepherd's pie film, and he actually did upload it to RUclips
Such a patient man. It's in every reporter's nature to drag on an interview, even for eternity IF it were possible. And he most certainly knows that, but still takes the time to answer a ton of rather redundant questions.
Love this guy I never met, seriously do.
James May has honestly become my favourite of the bunch. He's got the best post-Top Gear career aswell imo.
Wow, James foresaw the Coronavirus and was already social- distancing before all of us.
This man never ceases to amaze me.
Dead serious: I wish James May would do more of these. He's brilliant at handling them; he's such a class act. The press folks could ring him up to ask what a good time would be, and he would give them a few minutes at his doorstep.
"I've got to go eat some sugarpuffs". Legend.
After a rough day, this made me smile. So many celebrities, politicians and others have much to learn from this, about questions that can be hard/uncomfortable.
Opens his front door has a camera and microphone unexpectedly shoved in his face and is so patient and polite.
They should have Just left him alone, James Is such a good bloke.
‘Cook a shepherds pie and make a film for RUclips’
He just turned this into a chitchat and probably bored them away 😂
and they keep asking about top gear but he goes so far off topic 😂😂🙏🏻
James is such a nice man. A very, very nice man.
Its amazing that he just stands there for 6 minutes, talking to these dreadful reporters. I wouldnt even open the door!
james may is a great guy!
I think these are some of the nicest reporters he'll have actually seen
James is such a legend for just politely chatting with these news reporters who rudely interrupted his day
what a GOOD man he offered them tea !!
James sarcastically: I'm going to runaway to America with Jeremy
In the first episode of The Grand Your: America.
😂
Also the restaurant and pub reference, James owns a pub, well half of a pub and Jeremy has/had a restaurant at his farm
James May is nice nice guy.
I'd love to know if James cooked his shepherds pie and filmed his RUclips video. He's totally destroyed the 'paps'
+ODG Lordy He has, it's on his youtube channel 'JM's unemployment tube'
+Rapacious vP Search for JM's Unemployment Tube!!
Well he made a better food than Ramsay once
he was, but he won the challenge lol
Actually yes
James May is the only legend who asks questions to the interviewer
Such a humble dude
What a class act! Love James. Perfect gentleman, as I would expect.
What a thoroughly decent nice man he was so respectful to all of them.
What a honorable man! A delight to see
I absolutely admire this man, the respect I have for this man is strong, he is interesting, genuine, and one heck of a great guy!
Agreed to a selfie, offered tea, y'know what, good British bloke right there.
Proper class act.
Some people are just ... likeable. And James May is one of them. Self effacing, not an attention seeker, well read in matters artistic and practical and very, very English.
"very very English" as a non English I find this very offensive.
Absolute legend. Deals with everything politely, understands the press are there doing their jobs, told by some higher up power, and is a true gent about it all. So much love for May.
“I’ve got to go, I’ve got some sugarpuffs to eat” Iconic James May.
I think the world would be a better place if we were all a little bit more like James May.
they need to learn to use the iso slider on their camera
Yeah they do, or maybe this was a thing back then
or the aperture
6 years ago wow... Feels like it was yesterday
James is so cool and chill man. My dream is to meet Him some day, I also love Clarkson though. Glad to see they made their own show.
My respect for him has seriously increased after this video. He was always my favourite of the 3
Needless to say, James was the wise one in the show. He acts so naturally. Probably the journalists are bothering him everyday and he still opens the door and talk to them like old friends. Generally English people are known for being polite, but James nails it, what a gentleman. Cheers from Portugal!
so wholesome wtf
Gentleman doesn't even start to describe our beloved Captain
Respectable man.
James is properly destroying the press.
i LOVE how he handles these situations and how his loyalty remains with the other two. love all three of them, but May is the most tactful
That phone call was probably his partner ringing the phone so he could go in and close the door lol.
love it how he is just so calm and answers
I loved when the interview shifted when James asked the journalist wether he was there by choice en he just said 'No comment'
James May slowly became one of the best things on TV. He's a lovely human being.
"I've got to go I want to eat my sugar puffs" is going to be my ringtone from now on
If there were more people like James the world would be a far better place
Courteously badass.
