Stuff for Boys, Men, Lads, Dudes...whatever you class you fall in to this show has you covered!
Full of useful, and some not so useful, experiments, challenges, and observations about men of the 21st century...and how devolved we have become to the point that most of us have no idea how to change a fuse!
Cant think of a more blunt, dry, host than Top Gear's James May. Hours of fun

In a World now dominated by reality TV and all the supposed glitz and glamour that comes with it, it's nice to know that there are still some TV programmes out there which are actually funny, actually informative, and actually add something to your life, and James May's Man Lab is surely the pick of the small selection of programmes that fit that criteria.
Throughout the series, James teaches us everything from how to diffuse a bomb to how to serenade a woman. Some of it is actually achievable, which adds to the interest, whereas what isn't achievable (or in the instance of the bomb diffusing, advisable) is made satisfying by James' wonderfully dry sense of humour. At times it isn't just amusing, it's inspiring - inspiring us modern men that James so deplores to get up and do something useful with our lives. It's fascinating and funny, and a great watch. The only criticism? Only three episodes.

I watched the series on TV and bought it at Christmas for my Dad as he'd missed it but liked what I'd told him about it so much he wanted to see it too. BUT you don't have to be a guy to watch this as I'm not and I loved the series.
