But his beloved gadget turned out to be a bad idea for the small set, quickly filling the room with heavy smoke.
James was discussing gadgets with guests Alexander Armstrong and Nick Nairn, claiming they didn’t have anything that could compete with his smoke machine.
“Neither of you have got the ultimate Christmas gadget,” he said, as he pulled out the machine, “which I got given last year – a proper smoking gun.”
He turned the machine on saying “now that is a Christmas present!”
But what started as a small cloud of smoke quickly grew to fill the room and obscure him from view.
James attempted to waft the smoke away from him with a scrap of paper as he introduced a segment on cooking in France.
