James May and the Dull Men (2024)

Overview

James May was recently introduced to the online phenomenon of ‘Dull Men's' forums, a place where men (and some women) ask questions most of us never thought to ask: "Can you cook dinner in your washing machine whilst cleaning your whites? "Is it possible to solve Britain's pothole problem once and for all?" These so-called ‘boring blokes' tinker away in their sheds, dreaming up solutions to problems like these. But James also has a shed, and he too spends a lot of time thinking about how small feats of engineering and ingenuity could solve our everyday irks…Now, from his home, shed and the pub he owns in Wiltshire, James embarks on a glorious ‘summer of dull'. Immersing himself in the threads on these forums, he'll seek to create his own ‘genius' solutions and prove that these ‘mundane men' are in fact, anything but dull.
