However, this July, James May is off on a solo trip for his travel series, James May: Our Man In Italy<\/a>.<\/p>\n Over six episodes, the TV presenter will explore Italy\u2019s history, landscapes, traditions and much more, while bringing his unique perspective to the country.<\/p>\n And while he\u2019s \u201cexcited\u201d for viewers to see what he got up to, May tells us it\u2019s much \u201charder\u201d filming alone than when he\u2019s with his co-stars Hammond and Clarkson.<\/p>\n Speaking exclusively to RadioTimes.com<\/a>, May said: \u201cWe\u2019ve all done a lot of solo things and we\u2019re all doing solo things at the moment. I like doing things by myself, but also in some ways it\u2019s harder because you have to provide everything \u2013 you haven\u2019t got the others to sort of bounce off of or fill up the programme.<\/p>\n \u201cI like having both because I can often do something by myself and then I can go and knock about stuff with the other two, and we can wind each other up and then all of us think, \u2018Oh gosh, I\u2019m going to go off and do something myself.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n He continued: \u201cI always get a little nervous before something comes out. There\u2019s a little bit of you when you do this sort of thing for a living that thinks you\u2019re about to be found out \u2013 that this is the one where somebody goes, \u2018Hang on a minute, this bloke\u2019s just mucking about on the holiday\u2019 or something like that. So yeah, I find that a bit nerve wracking.\u201d<\/p>\n May is hoping people will enjoy the new series, which will see him travelling from the Sicilian capital of Palermo to the peaks of the Dolomites as he visits some of the world\u2019s most stunning landscapes, discovers foods and even gives his own take on Italian cuisine.<\/p>\n In an exclusive clip<\/a>, May can be seen making a Full English pizza in Our Man In Italy.<\/p>\n So, was it any good?<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m not sure I\u2019d recommend that. I tried it several times, but I\u2019m not sure I could quite get it to work,\u201d James laughed. \u201cYou don\u2019t want one of those, I don\u2019t think.\u201d<\/p> On how the locals reacted to him making changes to their traditional dishes, he added: \u201cI think politely, I would say. I\u2019m not really keen on rules. And I\u2019m especially not keen on food rules because I just think you should be able to do what you want. Italians \u2013 it sounds like a clich\u00e9, and it is, but they do get very, very uptight about you doing things like having a cappuccino with something savoury, or having one in the afternoon or putting parmesan cheese on the wrong sort of pasta and [they say] you shouldn\u2019t put it on fish, which I agree with.<\/p>\n \u201cThese are all generalisations inevitably, but they do \u2013 I suppose the word is \u2013 connect with eating and drinking and it\u2019s slightly spiritual for them and they\u2019re quite sort of zealous about it.\u201d<\/p>\n James May: Our Man in Italy will launch Friday 15th July 2022 on\u00a0Amazon Prime Video<\/a>.
