The Grand Tour’s James May has decided that after decades of working with Jeremy Clarkson and Richard Hammond he’s earned himself a break – and will be going to go it alone for his own Amazon Prime Video series.
James will become a solo adventure tourist for Our Man In…Japan, as the first of a collection from the team where Clarkson and Hammond will also try out life as a one-man show.The presenter’s new series was announced today and will be an epic journey across an extraordinary country, as he gives two fingers to his Mr Slow nickname as the first of the team to start production.
Heading off from Heathrow yesterday on the trip, James said: ‘Japan is the most amazing place I’ve ever visited. Everything about it is a surprise: a boiled sweet, a bullet train, an unexpected ancient temple, and the challenge of eating a single edamame bean with chopsticks.’‘It’s a class A stimulant for all the senses, and an etiquette minefield for the unwary,’ he added. ‘I intend to immerse myself in it completely, in the pursuit of enlightenment and life balance.
We will follow James around the country as he explores the numerous elements that make the country so unique, heading from North to South over the course of the series as he discovers what drives their whole culture and what their approach to life can teach the rest of us. ‘James can’t speak the language, he is clueless about Japanese etiquette, but at least he knows there’s a small tree called a banzai…’ the show synopsis teases.
In May
