There is a new show on BBC America that I think just premiered last night. Pretty good esp if you want to pick up some tips on learning about French Wine. Looks like it is going to be good. And it is pretty funny. James May (Top Gear Host) comes off a bit whiny in the first episode, but you just gotta love him. I think they are playing that up for the cameras.

FWIW ... James is the brother of guitarist Brian May of the rock group "Queen". Saw this series when it aired in the UK. It is good. Roger

i watched it last night it was so fricken funny...and James is not playing up to the cameras he is like that in real life. That is the one thing about the Top Gear guys, when they bust each others chops about their personal life it is all true. i have the rest of the series to dvr since i leave tonight for france...will be nice to have something good to watch when i get back

"FWIW ... James is the brother of guitarist Brian May of the rock group "Queen"." (snort!) I love Captain Slow!!! I really liked his "Toy Stories" series...I felt like a kid again, and his enthusiam was palpable. Of course, loooove "Top Gear". Can't wait to catch this new series. Or, should I say 'series-es' - (1) "Oz and James' Big Wine Adventure - France", (2) "O and J BWA - California", and (3) "O and J Drink to Britain"... I drink to that... Thanks, Amy!
