robthehand 3 Posted September 20, 2006 Posted September 20, 2006 http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/north_y...ire/5365676.stmWow, I hope he pulls through.
Mr. Breathmask 624 Posted September 20, 2006 Posted September 20, 2006 Holy crap.I seriously hope he makes it through this.
Richard P 5,302 Posted September 21, 2006 Posted September 21, 2006 I don't watch Top Gear, but he's fantastic as the presenter on Brainiac - we can't lose him
Greg1138 3 Posted September 21, 2006 Posted September 21, 2006 He's now categorised as Serious but Stable.....and it has been confirmed that the roll-cage haeld and there were no "Intrusions" into the cockpit - injuries are internal.....Greg - who lives near Mr Hammond and hopes the cool bloke pulls through.....Oh - Rich UK - he no longer presents Braniac! Vic Reeves has taken over.....
robthehand 3 Posted September 21, 2006 Author Posted September 21, 2006 I don't know how much he'll be able to do when (if?) he pulls through, but at least it looks like he's going to make it.
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,386 Posted September 21, 2006 Posted September 21, 2006 Holy shit!I've been on a Top Gear spree lately.I hope he recovers.
robthehand 3 Posted September 23, 2006 Author Posted September 23, 2006 Well, it's looking good now:http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,2-20064...6440317,00.htmlIN 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 . . .
JoeinAR 1,957 Posted September 23, 2006 Posted September 23, 2006 serves him right. family men should have more sense.
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,386 Posted January 28, 2007 Posted January 28, 2007 The new season of Top Gear finally started so here you can see the near fatal crash.
Mr. Breathmask 624 Posted January 28, 2007 Posted January 28, 2007 I taped the show tonight. I'll watch it tomorrow. But I did catch a bit where the guys were doing some roadworks - with the usual misadventures.
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,386 Posted January 28, 2007 Posted January 28, 2007 Be sure to watch the clip anyways
Damo 0 Posted January 29, 2007 Posted January 29, 2007 Freaky, stupid and pure luck for his survival.
Greg1138 3 Posted January 29, 2007 Posted January 29, 2007 Glad he's ok and on fine form.....but then he is a Gloucestershire Man so I would say that!!I enjoyed the show...
Mr. Breathmask 624 Posted January 29, 2007 Posted January 29, 2007 Watched the show this morning. Nasty crash. The roadworks bit was hilarious.I assume the clip Steef posted was cobbled together from different episodes, right?
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,386 Posted January 29, 2007 Posted January 29, 2007 Ironically that was from the last episode of last years series.
Mr. Breathmask 624 Posted January 29, 2007 Posted January 29, 2007 I see.Also, nice one on Hammond saying "you will see me driving really fast... or having the worst accident you've seen in your life" (or something to that effect) before taking off. Ouch.
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,386 Posted February 2, 2007 Posted February 2, 2007 Watched Top Gear on Dutch TV just now. Not only did they cut about 10 minutes from the episode so they could put in commercials, they, for some reason also removed all the music from Apollo 13 for the segment were Jeremy drives a twin turbo Audi V8 from London to Edinburough and back one one tank of fuel.Strangly enough though music from Predator, Total Recall and Were Eagles there is left in?
Mr. Breathmask 624 Posted February 2, 2007 Posted February 2, 2007 Maybe it's a rights issue?Good use of music on that show, btw. Last week's episode on the Beeb had music from 24 (fitting of course, as the whole we-can-fix-your-road-in-24-hours segment had a bunch of 24 references in it), and I think there was something else I recognized, but I can't remember what it was.I don't watch it on Dutch TV. Lousy commercials and isn't it also still in ruddy fullscreen? Baah!
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,386 Posted February 2, 2007 Posted February 2, 2007 I missed the use of Apollo 12 music because Clarkson actually parodied the film in that segeAt time the film music they choose is spot on. At one point they even played some Michael Kamen music when the three presenters were arguing about who should drive a kit car, ala Lethal Weapon style.A pity through that ever piece of LOTR music they ever used came from the Silva Screen re-recording, not the OST's.
Mr. Breathmask 624 Posted February 4, 2007 Posted February 4, 2007 Nice show again tonight. I should keep watching this just for the music. Was that an unreleased piece from 24 I heard there? EDIT: Just realized that bit of music wasn't from 24. It's from Heat. Nice use of the Braveheart theme, though. And some bitchin' cars they had, too.
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,386 Posted February 5, 2007 Posted February 5, 2007 Cars?Oh right....yes they did.
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,386 Posted February 13, 2007 Posted February 13, 2007 OK last nights episode was hilarious. Not particulary consumer oriented perhaps, going the the south in the USA and drive around in 3 terrible 20 year old American cars, but it sure is funny.Highlights: The Stig's American cousin, the roadkill squirl, the roadkill cow and driving around in Alabama with Hillary For President painted on your car

I liked how they sabotaged May's air conditioning as well.And the drive through Alabama was hilarious."What d'you think you're doing? You're in a hick town!"
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,386 Posted February 13, 2007 Posted February 13, 2007 That was almost as distrurbing as getting that cow of the roof of Clarkson's car.
Mr. Breathmask 624 Posted March 4, 2007 Posted March 4, 2007 Tonight's episode was hilarious.But whatever happened to the second part of the "grow your own petrol" special? Did I miss that episode?
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,386 Posted March 5, 2007 Posted March 5, 2007 Indeed!Loved Clarkson's stretched Fiat Panda!
Melange 448 Posted March 5, 2007 Posted March 5, 2007 Yes that show is really funny. I don't care about cars "at all", but it is just the character of Clarkson and the way they have been doing these "out and about" episodes which is hilarious. I saw the American drive one too, and it was a real eye opener when they parked up in that gas station and that woman "got the boys". I thought the Dukes of Hazzard was just a myth until that happened. Saw some of that "limo" episode last night too. Good stuff
Mr. Breathmask 624 Posted March 5, 2007 Posted March 5, 2007 I downloaded the one episode I missed of this season today and watched it. I have to agree with Clarkson. Attempting to turn a Robin car into a space shuttle really is a genuinely stupid idea.Makes for hilarious viewing, though."How are you gonna use it again?!" Shame there were only six episodes.
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,386 Posted March 5, 2007 Posted March 5, 2007 Later seasons have been very short
Ollie 1,375 Posted March 5, 2007 Posted March 5, 2007 Yes that show is really funny.

Good stuff You might be suprised at what you find in the deep south here in the ole USA.
Melange 448 Posted March 5, 2007 Posted March 5, 2007 You might be suprised at what you find in the deep south here in the ole USA.Banthas?
John Crichton 4 Posted March 6, 2007 Posted March 6, 2007 The only good Bantha is the one hanging over my fireplace.
Ollie 1,375 Posted March 6, 2007 Posted March 6, 2007 I'd love to see how you got that big sob up over the fireplace.
Red 75 Posted March 6, 2007 Posted March 6, 2007 I fancy dewbacks myself. Banthas are too.......messy.
Ollie 1,375 Posted March 6, 2007 Posted March 6, 2007 I'd love to see how you got that big sob up over the fireplace.
Red 75 Posted March 7, 2007 Posted March 7, 2007 It took a few of my kinsmen and me to lift up above the fireplace. We are a strong people.
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,386 Posted June 2, 2007 Posted June 2, 2007 Top Gear uses music from many kinds of genres or sources (soundtrack, pop, techno, classical etc...etc).So on occasion you hear a bit of music that sounds nice but you cannot place. Anyone here happen to know what the following 2 pieces are?
Jim Ware 638 Posted June 2, 2007 Posted June 2, 2007 The first clip is 'Will You Follow Me?' from Rob Dougan's album 'Furious Angels'.The second clip is something else from the same album. I'll have a title for you shortly.
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,386 Posted June 2, 2007 Posted June 2, 2007 He's that Matrix guy, right?
Mr. Breathmask 624 Posted June 2, 2007 Posted June 2, 2007 I'll have to look into that album. I quite liked Furious Angels and I'm Not Driving Anymore. These sound nice as well.
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,386 Posted June 2, 2007 Posted June 2, 2007 Ok thank you, I owe you one.The rest of you were useless!
AI 0 Posted June 3, 2007 Posted June 3, 2007 Has John Towner Williams' music ever been on Top Gear? What about Hans Zimmer? I have only watched the show sporadically.Well come on Stefancos, make yourself useful.
