Phantoms of terminated accounts

(A heartfelt thank-you goes once again to @muggs8787 (who I stole this video from) for preserving so much history!)

Jeremy: "I just have to say as well, the other issue is that James May is in the News Of The World pretty much every weekend now, because James likes to go to award ceremonies where he has too much of the free drink, and then doesn't realise that when a girl comes over with a notepad and a pen, that she might actually be a journalist."

James: "She didn't have a notepad and a pen and anyway, I don't care. If they want to tell the world that I've only got two pairs of pants and the world is interested, well, bully for them."

(Pleasepleaseplease, does anyone have the News Of The World article that came out after a presumably drunk James told a sneaky wanna-be journalist he only owns two pairs of pants? I tried to search for it but came up empty... Must have been around 20th February 2011, because that's when the Snowbine Harvester episode aired.)

Also featuring Andy's lucky pants, and a James who casually mentions rushing to hospital after Richard's accident without a change of underwear.

James: "Well, Hammond was in hospital and I had no pants 'cause I'd driven straight up there, so Andy Wilman, he said I have to buy a pair of pants (for the first time since 1976) and I said could you get me a pair while you're there and, humourously he came back with a pair of brown ones with cream piping. Whiterose. Nylon."

Jeremy: "Well, we'd seen that's what you like best of all."
