James May has announced that his globetrotting adventures on Amazon Prime have come to an end as his travel series 'James May: Our Man In...' has been axed. The show, which debuted in 2020, saw the former Top Gear and The Grand Tour star exploring countries like Japan, Italy, and India, engaging in local customs and activities.

However, after three seasons, the streaming service has decided not to renew the programme for further instalments. Speaking candidly to Yahoo UK!, James expressed his relief at not having to be away from home for extended periods, something he's less enthusiastic about nowadays: "Well, Our Man In... is actually finished, they don't want any more of that, so I won't be doing that. But that does take you away from home for a long time, which I wasn't so keen on these days anyway."

He also shared his current passions, hinting at future projects: "I think the thing that appeals to me in these sort of more mature years of my life is arts and craft really, I want to make things, play musical instruments, and look at paintings."

When probed about the reasons behind the cancellation, James didn't hide his disappointment with the decision-makers at Amazon: "Well, they just didn't want it anymore, miserable b*****ds," reports The Mirror.

Following a cycle crash, James May has faced considerable disruption while filming for his new Channel 5 programme, The Great Explorers With James May. The TV presenter was injured in a charity bike ride near Hammersmith Bridge in London, suffering a "bust" wrist which hindered the production of several scenes for the series.

Expressing frustration, the 61 year old described the setback, saying he was left "annoyed" by the accident that significantly slowed down filming. On the platform formerly known as Twitter, May updated his followers by writing: "I'm taking part in a charity bicycle ride today, with the Armonico Consort and me old mate Oz Clarke (OBE). But I'm going in the car, because I bust my wrist in a bicycle accident."

Speaking to The Telegraph, May explained the toll it's taken on him: "At my age, this sort of thing takes much longer to heal." He added, reflecting on his feelings about aging: "I woke up one day and the one thing I never thought would happen had happened: I felt old. It's partly my hair; my baggy face."
