工作 | Producer |
Jimmy is a Producer[1], stunt pilot and driver for the Spectrum show Whitley's Guide. He never removes his helmet on-screen, and is usually presented as mute, but is implied to have provided off-screen dialogue on at least one occasion[2]. If this voice does belong to Jimmy, then he has a British accent.[2] Despite his on-screen muteness, Jax appears to understand what he is saying.
He is shown to be a competent pilot, though he is also shown to get into trouble while piloting when he briefly served as the main host of the show for one episode during Intergalactic Aerospace Expo 2951.[3]
Appearance
Jimmy habitually wears a white shirt, thin black tie, black gloves, black leather-effect trousers, and a white Odyssey Helmet with an opaque black visor which he has apparently owned since childhood[4]. This model of the helmet is not available elsewhere. During Intergalactic Aerospace Expo 2951 he is also seen wearing a flight suit, and a 十字軍工業 winter coat.[5][6][7][4] Jimmy's skin is visible around his neck, revealing that he is white.
Comparison to Timo Bakshi
Two-time 穆雷杯 winner Timo Bakshi fulfilled the role of pilot on Jax McCleary's former show, Galactic Gear. Like Jimmy, Bakshi is seen wearing a white Odyssey Helmet with opaque black visor that is not available in stores.[8] Jimmy has owned this model of helmet since childhood[4], and is referred to as 'Jimmy' both by his mother and by Jax in behind-the-scenes footage[5][6][7][4] , confirming that despite superficial similarities of dress and profession, Jimmy and Bakshi are not the same individual. This does not eliminate the possibility that Jimmy or that style of helmet are associated with the Bakshi Family.
The possibility of two Jimmies
As well as his on-screen appearances, numerous calls and references are made to an off-screen Jimmy, who is on one occasion referred to as a Producer of the show.[1] While it assumed that there is only one Jimmy, this is not wholly confirmed. It is possible that there is an alternative Producer Jimmy who performs off-screen tasks and has been heard to speak, and an entirely mute on-screen Jimmy who is only the stunt pilot and onetime host.

After sharing 'campfire stories', Jax attempts to sleep outside but is awoken by forest noises, and calls to Jimmy for help.

Intergalactic Aerospace Expo 2951
The segments for the Intergalactic Aerospace Expo 2951 are implied to be included in the broadcast, while other parts are implied to be behind-the-scenes footage.
Part | Topic | Broadcast Footage | Behind-the-Scenes Footage |
---|---|---|---|
1 | 鐵砧航天 斯巴達 | Jimmy is seen welcoming Whitley's Guide executives aboard the 斯巴達 with a clipboard, before walking away. It's implied that perhaps he drove the vehicle up to Jax McCleary in the opening segment. He is then seen piloting an 埃斯佩里亞 利爪, and attacks the 斯巴達 ostensibly to test its survivability. [5] | After one of the executives points out the similarities to Episode 223 of the show, Jax calls Jimmy in the editing bay (inside a 信賴 新聞) where Jimmy compares the footage and appears disappointed and embarrassed. Jimmy finds Jax, who commiserates about being out of ideas for the show. Jimmy gesticulates wildly but seems unable to get his point across to Jax.[5] |
2 | 聖盾動力 救贖者 | Jimmy cheers on Jax McCleary from a 新巴貝奇 rooftop as he attempts to recreate the painting Tears of Fire by dropping paint from a 救贖者 onto a canvas below. Jimmy appears increasingly confused and disappointed as Jax makes several passes in the ship.[6] | As Jax calls off the stunt, Jimmy watches his swearing tirade via mobiGlas. Jimmy appears to attempt to console Jax but is unable to. Jax positions the ship so he can see Jimmy from the cockpit, and tells him that he is quitting, and that Jimmy should host the show. Jimmy appears distraught and appears to plead with Jax to come back.[6] |
3 | 十字軍工業 戰神 離子光 and 戰神 地獄火 | Jimmy wordlessly introduces the 戰神 離子光 and 戰神 地獄火. The B-Roll on the title credits are all shots of Jimmy, in place of the usual ones of Jax McCleary. The show is introduced as "Whitley's Guide with Jimmy". In the hold of am M2 大力神 星際運輸船, Jimmy uses a Holoboard to introduce that he will fire increasingly large weapons at a decommissioned 伊德里斯-M, the UEES Banshee, and cause it to explode.
|
Several bloopers of his introduction are shown, revealing Jimmy's nervousness. Throughout the segment we see that Jax McCleary is observing the footage of Jimmy from within the editing bay, before he realises the danger that Jimmy has placed himself in.[7] |
4 | 武藏工業與星航株式會社 奧德賽 | Jax McCleary and Jimmy are shown walking through the 托賓會展中心 on 武藏工業與星航株式會社 day, discussing the previous segment. The pair appear to be co-hosting. Jax credits Jimmy with reminding him why he got into journalism, while Jimmy taps him on the arm in a friendly and sheepish fashion. A 'best of IAE' montage from across Jax's career plays.[4] | In the editing bay, the camera pans back to reveal Jax and Jimmy watching the montage together. To Jax's surprise, Jimmy hugs him. Jimmy then shows him a home movie his mother shot when he was a child. It features Jimmy, wearing his trademark helmet and an IAE t-shirt, excitedly visiting the expo, and posing for a picture with a hologram of his 'hero', Jax. The pair share an emotional moment, before leaving with a large bag.

Behind the Scenes
Jax McCleary and the shows he presents clear references to real-world automotive presenter Jeremy Clarkson, and his shows Top Gear and The Grand Tour. Therefore, Jimmy represents the mute helmet-wearing driver of Top Gear, who is called The Stig.
