James May, that bastion of British eccentricity, continues with his new series on Quest, tackling life’s less glamorous conundrums. This time, he’s taking on a foe we’ve all faced – the public restroom hand dryer.
In “James May and The Dull Men: Hand Dryer,” May confronts 100 years of hand-drying struggles. He’ll probably ponder the optimal dryer design, the physics of airspeed, and possibly even the existential dread of damp hands in a public space.
In this same episode, May turns his attention to the pressing matter of mastication, exploring the ideal number of chews per bite. This segment will likely spark heated debates at Christmas dinner tables across the nation.
And because no James May venture is complete without a touch of the absurd, he’s also whipping up a new culinary creation: Mac ‘n’ Choc. One can only imagine what gastronomic horror this might entail, but rest assured, May will approach it with his signature blend of meticulousness and mild bewilderment.
This series, born from the depths of the ‘Dull Men’s Club’ Facebook group, celebrates the mundane in a way only James May can. It’s a welcome respite from the usual holiday fare, a chance to revel in the ordinary rather than the extraordinary. Tune in if you’ve ever wondered about the finer points of hand drying, chewing, or the potential of chocolate-infused macaroni.
“James May and The Dull Men” airs Tuesday, December 24, 2024, at 9:00 PM on Quest.
