جيمس دانييل ماي (ولد في 16 يونيو 1963) هو مقدم تلفاز وصحفي إنجليزي، يشتهر بسبب دوره في تقديم برنامج توب غير إلى جانب جيرمي كلاركسون وريتشارد هاموند.

يملك جيمس ماي في برنامج توب غير لقب "كابتن بطيء" (بالإنجليزية: Captian Slow)‏ بسبب أسلوب قيادته الحذر. وقد قام بتقديم برامج أخرى في مجالات العلوم والألعاب وثقافة النبيذ ومشاكل الرجال في العصر الحديث. كما كتب عمودًا أسبوعيًا في قسم السيارات في صحيفة ديلي تيليغراف.

الحياة المبكرة[عدل]

ولد جيمس ماي في بريستول وهو واحد من أربعة أطفال، حيث لديه أختان وأخ.[2] درس جيمس في مدرسة كارليون للصغار في نيوبورت، وقضى سنوات مراهقته في جنوب يوركشير حيث درس في مدرسة أوكوود الشاملة في روثرهام وكان أحد الأولاد المنشدين في كنيسة ويستون باريش.[3]

أجاد جيمس ماي العزف على البيانو والمزمار بعد أن درس الموسيقى في كلية بندل في جامعة لانكستر. وبعد تخرجه، عمل موظف سجلات لفترة بسيطة في مستشفى في تشلسي، وقضى فترة قصيرة في الخدمة المدنية البريطانية.[4]

Journalism[عدل]

During the early 1980s, May worked as a sub-editor for The Engineer and later Autocar magazine, from which he was dismissed for performing a prank.[5] He has since written for several publications, including the regular column England Made Me in Car Magazine, articles for Top Gear magazine, and a weekly column in The Daily Telegraph.

He has written the book May On Motors (2006), which is a collection of his published articles, and co-authored Oz and James's Big Wine Adventure (2006), based on the TV series of the same name. He wrote the afterword to Long Lane with Turnings, published in September 2006, the final book by motoring writer L. J. K. Setright. In the same month he co-presented a tribute to Raymond Baxter. Notes From The Hard Shoulder and James May's 20th Century, a book to accompany the television series of the same name, were published in 2007.

Dismissal from Autocar[عدل]

In an interview with Richard Allinson on BBC Radio 2,[6] May confessed that in 1992 he was dismissed from Autocar magazine after putting together a hidden message or acrostic in one issue. At the end of the year, the magazine's "Road Test Year Book" supplement was published. Each spread featured four reviews and each review started with a large red letter (known in typography as an initial). May's role was to put the entire supplement together, which "was extremely boring and took several months".

May's original message, punctuated appropriately, reads: "So you think it's really good, yeah? You should try making the bloody thing up; it's a real pain in the arse."[7]

Radio and television[عدل]

His past television credits include presenting Driven on Channel 4 in 1998-99, narrating an eight-part بي بي سي وان series called Road Rage School,[8] and co-hosting the ITV1 coverage of the 2006 London Boat Show.[9] He also wrote and presented a Christmas special called James May's Top Toys (for BBC One) exploring the toys of his childhood.[10] James May: My Sister's Top Toys attempted to investigate the gender divide of toy appeal.[11] In series 3, episode 3[12] of Gordon Ramsay's The F Word, May managed to beat Ramsay in eating animal penises and rotten shark (which Ramsay himself couldn't keep down)[13] and with his fish pie recipe.[14][15]

Top Gear[عدل]

BBC Top Gear presenting team of Richard Hammond, James May and Jeremy Clarkson, 2009

May first co-presented Top Gear in 1999, before it was axed by the BBC because of poor viewing figures. He rejoined the show in the second series of the present Top Gear format in 2003, where he earned the nickname "Captain Slow" owing to his careful driving style. Despite this sobriquet, he has done some especially high-speed driving, including in Top Gear Series 9, taking a بوجاتي فايرون to its top speed of 253 mph (407 km/h) which is nearly one-third of the speed of sound at sea level and later on taking a Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Super Sport edition to 260 mph (417 km/h).[16] In an earlier episode he also tested the original version of the Bugatti Veyron against the new Pagani Zonda F.

He became one of the first people – with co-presenter Jeremy Clarkson and an آيسلنداic support crew – to travel by car to the magnetic North Pole, using a modified Toyota Hilux. In the words of Clarkson, he was the first person to go there "who didn't want to be there". He has driven a 1.3 litre Suzuki SJ413 through the Bolivian jungle and along Death Road and over the Andes to the Pacific Ocean in Chile. He also drove a modified Toyota Hilux (also used as a crew car during the North Pole expedition) up the side of the erupting volcano Eyjafjallajökull in آيسلندا.

Science[عدل]

May in 2007

May presented Inside Killer Sharks, a documentary for Sky and James May's 20th Century, investigating inventions.[17] He flew in a Royal Air Force Eurofighter Typhoon at a speed of around 1320 mph for his television programme, James May's 20th Century. In late 2008, the BBC broadcast James May's Big Ideas, a three-part series in which May travelled around the globe in search of implementations for concepts widely considered science fiction.[18] He has also presented a series called James May's Man Lab.

James May on the Moon[عدل]

المقالات الرئيسة: James May on the Moon وJames May at the Edge of Space

James May on the Moon (BBC 2, 2009) commemorated 40 years since man first landed on the moon.[19] This was followed by another documentary on بي بي سي فور called James May at the Edge of Space, where May was flown to the stratosphere (70,000 ft) in a U.S. Air Force Lockheed U-2 spy plane. Highlights of the footage from the training for the flight, and the flight itself was used in James May on the Moon, but was shown fully in this programme.[20] This made him one of the highest flying persons, along with the pilot, at that time, after the crew of the محطة الفضاء الدولية.[20]

James May's Toy Stories[عدل]

المقالة الرئيسة: James May's Toy Stories

Beginning in October 2009, May presented a 6-part TV series showing favourite toys of the past era and whether they can be applied in the modern day. The toys featured were Airfix, Plasticine, Meccano, Scalextric, Lego and Hornby. In each show, May attempts to take each toy to its limits, also fulfilling several of his boyhood dreams in the process. In August 2009, May built a full-sized house out of Lego at Denbies Wine Estate in Surrey.[21] Plans for Legoland to move it to their theme park fell through in September 2009 because costs to deconstruct, move and then rebuild were too high[22] and despite a final Facebook appeal for someone to take it, it was demolished on 22 September, with the plastic bricks planned to be donated to charity.[23]

Also for the series, he recreated the banked track at Brooklands using Scalextric track,[24] and an attempt at the world's longest working model railway along the Tarka Trail between Barnstaple and Bideford in North Devon, although the attempt was foiled due to stolen batteries and vandals placing coins on the track, causing a short circuit.[25]

In December 2012 aired a special Christmas Episode called Flight Club, where James and his Team built a huge toy glider that flew 22 miles from Devon to the island of Lundy.[26]

Oz and James[عدل]

المقالات الرئيسة: Oz and James's Big Wine Adventure وOz and James Drink to Britain

In late 2006, the BBC broadcast Oz and James's Big Wine Adventure, a series in which May, a committed bitter drinker, travelled around France with wine expert Oz Clarke.[27] A second series was broadcast in late 2007, this time with May and Clarke in the Californian wine country,[28] and was followed by a third series in 2009 called Oz and James Drink to Britain.

Personal life[عدل]

May lives in Hammersmith, West London with dance critic Sarah Frater, whom he has dated since 2000.[29][30] May received an honorary Doctor of Letters degree from Lancaster University on 15 July 2010.[31]

Vehicles[عدل]

May has owned many cars: Saab 9-5 aero Bentley T2, Rolls-Royce Phantom, Triumph 2000, Rover P6, Alfa Romeo 164, 1971 Rolls-Royce Corniche, Jaguar XJS, Range Rover, Fiat Panda, Datsun 120Y, 2009 Porsche 911 Carrera S facelift, Vauxhall Cavalier Mk1, Ferrari F430,[32] Ferrari 458,[32] 1984 Porsche 911,[33] 2005 Porsche Boxster S (which he claims is the first car he has ever purchased new),[34] Mini Cooper, Citroën Ami, Mazda MX-5, and several motorcycles including a Yamaha XJR1300, Moto Guzzi V11 Sport, a Triumph Daytona 675R and a 1978 Guzzi California. He has a penchant for prestige cars like Rolls-Royces and Bentleys, simple and basic cars such as the Fiat Panda, and motorcycles. He often uses a Brompton folding bicycle for commuting.[35] He passed his driving test on his second attempt and justified this by saying "All the best people pass the second time".[36]

May obtained a light aircraft pilot's licence in October 2006 having trained at White Waltham Airfield. He has owned a Luscombe 8A 'Silvaire' and an American Champion 8KCAB Super Decathlon with registration G-OCOK.[37] May also flew a Cessna 182 against Jeremy Clarkson in a بوجاتي فايرون to London for a Top Gear race.
