James May: On Top Gear, tea and driverless cars

In this extra edition of The Today Podcast, James May talks to
Amol and Nick about Top Gear, tea and driverless cars, as he is
announced as one of this year's Today programme guest editors.


James, who is one of the presenters of The Grand Tour and a
former presenter of Top Gear, will take the editorial reins and
make a programme with the Today team this Christmas and he's got
some interesting ideas about what he would like to explore.


James also explains why he thinks Top Gear needs a rethink and he
needs your help in finding Britain's last tea trolley.
