Vera Productions for Channel 4         

James wrote for the sixth series of 'Bremner, Bird and Fortune'.  Satirical? Yes, sir.

Top Gear    

James wrote an article for Top Gear magazine which involved flying to Denver on a plane and everything. You can download a PDF file of the article here. A PDF file is very different from a paedophile, so please don't worry about downloading it. Oh, and he was sent to Germany as well - also on a plane. The result? An article for that internet thing. Good!
