    James May On The Moon

    James May commemorates the 40th anniversary of the Apollo moon landings. He meets three of the men who walked on the moon, before experiencing the thrill of weightlessness, and the bone-crushing G forces of a Saturn V rocket launch. Finally, he puts on his own space suit and flies to the edge of space in a U2 spy plane, where he looks down at the curvature of the earth, and upwards into the black infinity of space - http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00lfdbv

    Just watched this now. I thought it was very good. Even if you're not a James May fan, I think everyone will enjoy this doc.

    That's all

    Thought it was damn good.

    He's even luckier to have landed that job than Top Gear. :P

    James May must have made a pact with the devil at some point. Exellent programmes and part of the whole 40th Anniversary season on the beeb.

    I'd imagine that 40 years ago, people would have expected the 40th anniversary of the moon landing celebrations to actually have been held on the moon.

    FFS, why haven't we been back recently? Is it really that boring?

    Between this and his programme about robots, James May is really becoming the king of must-see TV - factual, interesting, informative, no bull**** or exaggeration, a wow factor + funny at times!

    *Not that that's particularly hard nowadays, but still, credit where credit's due
