Hamster was ill again? After all those trailers? That's ridiculous. Even Catherine Tate managed to get in and she had tonsillitis (and probably a million other job offers)!

"Richard loves Top Gear - it's a huge part of his life and he'd never leave."
Bit silly to say that when he's asked for a 100% increase isn't it?

Feel his nose, give him a pat on the head and let him curl up in his basket, he'll be alright.

I have the distinct feeling that the current Top Gear set up has reached its sell-by date and, like the Clarkson/Niddell/Willson era before it, it's time they recognised it's time for a change.

Hammond has not been the same since his accident - hardly surprising - and has recently acknowledged himself that he never will be. Sympathy is a non-existant word in the dictionary of modern business life but if they were to meet such a demand surely that would be the only explanation for it.

As for his non-appearance yesterday morning, it hopefully now kicks into touch all that nonsense about him being lined up to take over from Terry come the fateful day...

I'm loth to criticise, when Hamster has gone through suffering beyond my imagination, but it does seem bizarre to keep siging him up for live programmes when there seem to be issues about his capacity to undertake these.

Ian.

Its a sad sign of the times that he is trying to build his career of the back of his accident.

I read somewhere that he still has flash backs. I think it's about time to just drop him from the Radio 2 celebrity obsession, as it really looked stupid building him up and then he doesn't turn in, for the second time. Still we know Richard A is on the books.

Maybe they should pre-record bank holiday shows in advance as back-up. Like they did with that Ricky office boy what's his name a couple of years ago. How hard can it be?... just make the texts up .... ... we've had this in from Susan on her way to Blackpool- stuck in traffic on the M6, it's hell out here baby....ps ... love the show...... and this from Bob the builder stuck behind a caravan on the A30 on his way to Cornwall.... it's so hot here they've installed huge fans in the feilds to keep us cool... how cool is that? Wind farms what a great idea! Who buys the wind? If you're stuck in traffic , this one's for you ...... it's <Chris Rea - and Road to Hell>... etc etc etc....

Or better still abandon this current TV celebrity obsession and use proper DJs instead. There must be plenty out there who deserve a shot at the big time.
Time to start the 'Campaign For Real DJs'. Why not start by bringing back Richard Allinson & Ed Stewart?!

Trouble is one persons "real DJ" is another persons "1980's throwback to cheese purveying smashie & nicey inane banter". Laughing

Returning for a moment to Richard Hammond, this has been noticed -

http://www.finalgear.com/news/2008/04/25/hammond-was-in-hospital-for-appendicitis-surgery-on-tuesday/

in which case, why was he still listed and trailed as doing the show on Monday?

Rachel,
There is a female version. Here's an example http://www.pictogame.com/play/game/UGgdpwBcy4VD_kick-girl Yes, it is Lesley Douglas' head. Wish it was me that had put it on there!! Laughing

This is also a female one but a bit more complicated to do. http://www.pictogame.com/play/game/2jSr5fAi7avd_western-kick-girl
If you get enough free (extra) kicks. (s)he goes past the moon!!
Shocked Laughing Have fun!!
