On The Edge by Richard Hammond
Like many loyal fans, I was delighted by the return of Top Gear to BBC 2 recently (2007). A little over a year ago, however, along with what seemed like the majority of the country, I was very upset when I heard the news on September 20th 2006 of the accident suffered by one of the show's presenters, Richard Hammond.
The beauty of Hammond's TV work, no matter what programme it's on, is that he makes it all look so much fun and so easy. He gives off the air of being one of your mates who just happens to be on TV, especially on Brainiac and Top Gear, where his cheeky sense of humour and his natural enthusiasm are given full rein. Whenever you watch him, it feels like he's about to walk out of the studio, into the pub and say "you'll never guess what I just did/drove/exploded" and have you in fits of laughter for the rest of the evening telling you all about it.
We get a brief look at how the cheeky young boy became the cheeky young man and how he has been obsessed with motoring since he could drive a toy car. He sketches in a few details of his time in local radio and as a Top Gear presenter, before recounting the day of his accident.
