JC's general journalism and interviewing are both of a very high calibre, and if you've been to the filming of TG, you'll have noticed that JC is much better prepared than the rather mistake-prone James May especially.

JC did a great documentary of IK Brunel about 10 years back, and I wonder if his interest in things outside cars (and he's clearly not interested in the oily bits or old cars) and even in politics gives him an opportunity to re-launch his brand as a grandee of the establishment with a politically incorrect bent.

I think of an updated Ken Clarke perhaps...
