The wry honest & often hilarious chronicles of a very brave & clever TV presenter Arctic Explorer & general drawer of the Short Straw. As one third of the BBCs Top Gear team Richard Hammonds year since his near-fatal accident has been full of stunts & drama. From a race to the North Pole (with skis & dog-sled) to a journey through Botswana in a car named Oliver & a seventeen-mile run through floods to his Gloucestershire home in order to get to his daughters birthday party the year has been eventful to say the least.. . With his boundless optimism in the face of certain failure Richard Hammond has become one of our funniest writers about a life (and a job) which constantly present a challenge.
