 Topic: Best program host: Richard Hammond or James May

There's really no comparing them, which is why both of them, along with Clarkson, were pooled for one show.
Hammond has a childlike energy and enthusiasm that is always present.
May has the nostalgic spirit of a man who is in love with his childhood.

I remember seeing him in a show where he visits some European countries to see if the people in each country matches the stereotypes about them. Think it was called "Clarkson visits the Neighbours" or something like that.

I like Hammond. But James May is great. Loved the constructions with lego, mechano and mucking around with train sets. The wine shows were good too.

^ Robot Wars and his own talk show "Clarkson" - neither were that memorable.

Not being British I have probably missed a lot, but by what I know I prefer James May by far, I'm not too fond of Richard Hammond really, even if they both have names so closely connected to Prog Rock
