Top Gear accident

Just heard about this, too. Really hope he makes it. An entertaining presenter, who strikes me as a nice bloke.

Good luck Hamster, the show will not be the same until you return. This is my most favourite programme ever and i really do think that the three of them bounce off each other even tho the only thing they have in common is that they are all petrolheads. God Bless Richard. Dave.

Good luck hampster.(best top gear presenter since raymond Baxster and J C).

Please don't take this wrong as I am sorry the accident happened as all of you BUT, he is paid some £100,000.00 per episode to put his life in danger. That's more money than a lot of us get in a year! If I was offered that job at that salary with the same risks, I would take it.

What's wrong with us Brits? There Students doing medical tests, making some "easy money" and it went wrong! And everyone is suddenly against the Pharmacutical company!!

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A "FREE LUNCH"!!!

If the BBC are paying for his care and treatment at least i know my licence fee is finally being spent on something worthwhile.

 

 

KB, footballers get paid just as mch if not more than Richard but i know which one i would rather have being paid that kind of money cos football is just total brain killing rubbish full of over paid self cented egotistical prima donnas.

Miserable git

[Andrew Boyd]

Hope the Hampster pulls through. . . and his new Teeth are OK !

 

The 3 presenters of Top Gear balanced each other out, a tall plonker who knows nothing under the bonnet but a gift for telling it the way it is, a long haired but brainy chap and Hammy. Hope he's on his feet soon to retain the special dynamic of Top Gear presentation.

Have to say certainly not one my have to watch programs but again it boils down to one thing.

 

Puting your life on the line to get the best viewing figures possible as I remember two weeks ago it resulted in the death of Steve Irwin.

 

It is sad that the tv media have to go to such limits to gain viewing figures, we talk about the barbaric history of the Roman Empire, to day we do not have to go to the arena just switch the telly on

[Steve Walker]

It was a jet powered drag racer. I think we tend to forget these days that motorsport is dangerous. Nobody has died in F1 since Senna and Ratzenberger, but there have been deaths in rallying; Michael Park in last year's Rally of Britain, a couple of people in last year's Paris-Dakar. I'm sure there have been plenty of deaths and serious injuries worldwide in amateur motorsport; I wonder how many there are at the Nurburgring alone?

 

Still, how many of us would have turned down a go in that dragster, even if we weren't being paid to do it?

I dont think in either this or the Irwin case they were putting their life on the line for viewing figures. Both were enthusiasts and do/did the TV because it allowes them to do what they enjoy. Thats why their TV is so watchable.
