Jeremy Clarkson, 62, first broadcasted Clarkson's Farm on Amazon Prime Video last summer with the series documenting the former Top Gear presenter's attempts at running a thousand-acre farm in the Cotswolds. James May, 59, Jeremy's longterm pal and The Grand Tour co-star has admitted in a recent podcast that he finds the hit farming show "infuriatingly inept at times", while also claiming he thinks Jeremy is "putting it on".Jeremy bought the land in 2008, with the place formerly being called Curdle Hill Farm.Clarkson then decided later on to try farming the land himself and renamed the farm Diddly Squat due to its lack of money-making potential.While the Prime Video series has been a huge success, Jeremy's former Top Gear colleague James May is not sure about the show.He said on The Radio Times podcast: "I don’t know how much of the practical stuff he’s really doing."He’s obviously having a go, which is odd because I do find him infuriatingly inept at times – to the extent that I think he might be putting it on."He might think it’s cute, or it makes him seem more sophisticated.Sometimes his inability to operate the mechanism that opens a sliding door makes me think rations are wasted on this man."James and Jeremy co-hosted Top Gear, alongside fellow presenter Richard Hammong, 52, for over a decade together.After leaving the BBC show in 2015, the three went on to film The Grand Tour with Amazon Prime.When James was asked if he would ever be tempted to get into the farming business, he sternly replied: "Christ no."Farming is just big gardening in my view.

Richard Hammond feared James May was dead after his horror crash while filming 'The Grand Tour'.

Speaking on 'The Chris Moyles Show on Radio X', he said: "I don't know what came over him, genuinely, I don't [.

James May, 59, who appeared on BBC series Top Gear alongside Richard Hammond and Jeremy Clarkson from 2003 until 2015, was speaking ahead of the latest special of the trio's series called The Grand Tour: A Scandi Flick, which is released on Amazon Prime on Friday, September 16 and takes place in the Scandinavian Arctic Circle. In a game of “would you rather”, James’ humorous answers revealed more about the trio’s love-hate relationship that comes across so well on screen, in an exclusive interview with Express.co.uk and other publications.When asked who he would rather be stranded on a desert island with, "Jeremy or Richard", James wanted to cheekily ditch them both, as he immediately responded: “So I don’t have the option of just being on my own?”But after some thought, James jokingly went on to say: “It’s tempting to say Clarkson because he’d probably die sooner.

Then the competition began.”He said, however, that the bull was’t interested in the herd of females which he had in front of him, unlike his rams, which he called Wayne Rooney and Leonardo DiCaprio.“Break-Heart didn’t appear to be up for sex with anything,” he said.“Unlike Wayne Rooney, Leonardo DiCaprio and my rams, he didn’t get on with the job straight away.“He was playing it cool.

In the interview with The Times, he continued: “But if you do it on TV, it’s public and it’s open to scrutiny, which is possibly a reason why you shouldn’t do it. But we are only human. “We make mistakes.

Amazon Prime viewers have been left spooked after catching a glimpse of a 'ghost' walking out of a mass grave in James May's new documentary.

Express.co.uk, James discussed whether or not he spoke to his former co-hosts Richard Hammond or Jeremy Clarkson while filming for Our Man In Italy. He jokingly explained that he didn’t speak to them and was pleased to not have them there. James said: “No, I didn't phone them up, I was pleased not to have them [here] to be honest.“When I am making a TV show by myself, I can just keep going, it's great until the crew tell me to shut up.”The programme was thrown into doubt last year due to the Coronavirus pandemic. James and his crew were supposed to be filming the series in America, but were unable to due to the restrictions. He said: “We were supposed to be [filming in] the USA and I actually announced it on Twitter and various other places.“Then about two days later we realised we couldn't do it.The problem was COVID-19 restrictions.“But Italy didn't [have restrictions] and it wasn't completely sprung on us because we always have several ideas lined up and partly, it was in our back pocket as a possible [country] for the future.“So, we haven't blown America out of the water, we just didn't do it at that time.”Speaking about the future of the series, and whether filming in America could be next as a location, James continued: “Well, it would be nice to do another one, and that all depends on how well this one is received."America is still very much on the list.So, we have a lot of ideas for America already sorted out.”

Or was it some editing problem?”Caddelle_artist told James: “Digital corruption. Hmmm not a chance.“Maybe if you were recording in analogue.
