I was shocked to hear about Richard Hammond’s accident whilst filming for Top Gear. A BBC TV show about cars, for you foreign readers, it is as well known for the general larking about by the presenters as it is for the cars they feature. In fact my missus loves it and she couldn’t care less about the cars - it’s the crashed caravans, sinking amphibious cars and rolling of white vans that appeals to her, and most of us actually.
Yesterday Richard Hammond crashed whilst filming a landspeed record attempt in a jet-powered car at an airfield in Yorkshire somewhere. I hope that he recovers fully and is quickly back on our screens out-buffooning Jeremy Clarkson.
