Richard is winning his fight.
By Jeremy Clarkson
IN the wee small hours of Thursday night, just 30 hours after what is almost certainly the world’s fastest ever car crash, Richard Hammond suddenly sat up in bed, opened his eyes and asked what had happened.
“You’ve been in a car accident,” I said. “Was I driving like a tw*t?” he asked, before getting out of bed and walking, shakily, to the lavatory.
His wife, Mindy, couldn’t believe her eyes. None of us could. It really did seem that he’d had a look through death’s door and decided he didn’t like what he saw on the other side.
Later, he looked across at James May and said: “Hello C**k face.”
Despite all the odds, it seemed we’d got our Hamster back . . .

Since his accident,politicians and other people are calling off Top Gear. Richard Hammond is a trained driver , and he with the rest of the team know what they are doing.
I am sure Richard,despite his accident,will still want to do what he does best : drive cars,have fun with them and help us pick up a good car.
That’s his show.

I’m sorry to say this but an accident on Top Gear was bound to happen,and unfortunately it was Richard Hammond.Jeremy Clarkson has been lucky on two occasions when he’s smashed supercars up,and just think of the cost to the BBC.Sorry to say this but this could end up costing the BBC and the poor old license payer thousands if not millions in insurance payments especially if the BBC are charged with gross negligence.

Dave,there’s no need for sorry here.I trully respect your opinions and i always welcome them.
You know better,as a British,what’s going on in there and where the money are going…who’s paying what and who’s pocket goes skinny…
But as selfish TopGear lovers,all we want is to see him well and to see them all back on our screens.
See,we never think to the accidents because we are too caught into their charms.
Anyway,Top Gear is probably also made with sponsorship money from all those cars they promote.
Let’s hope that he’ll get better and that no one will have to pay.

As its the BBC they should’nt get any sponsorship money or any money from advertising,that is why we have to pay a license fee.If they do get paid anything its kept very quiet.This is why the majority of Brits are hostile towards the BBC.

See Dave,programs like that cannot be done without sponsorship.
First,showing off all the cars would be a free advertising for the car companies and no tv channel would do free adv.
They have contracts with them and those dudes are paying…. i am sure ,heavy money.
The tax money …….. (when it comes about tv) are more used for the series and movies that all channels gain the right to air them and there is where the tax money comes in.

The reason us Brits have to pay a TV license is because the BBC will not take money from advertisers apparently,if they did they should be raking millions in from football,golf,rugby,bike racing,horse racing etc,but none of this money is mentioned in the Beebs yearly accounts.

Maybe they don’t take money from the companies who wants to advertise between the movie breaks…you know…the annoying commercials.
BY accepting sponsorship things should look diferent.
It sould be only for some programs under some conditions.
But maybe you have a point there and you might be right and supposing they stay add clean,then i can understand where the tons of money are going and why the Brtits are pissed off.
And you know,there are some things that we don’t always know about and one of those things is “internal affairs”,if i can put it like that.
