James May gets lost in translation in his new Italian travel series – but it’s a Scot who baffles him rather than the local lingo.
In one episode of Our Man in Italy, he seems not to know who Paolo Nutini is – but puts it down to being “confused” after necking five pints.
James, 59, left his Grand Tour co-stars Jeremy Clarkson and Richard Hammond at home as he went solo for the second helping of this travel series.
