I'm so upset tbh :( Really love him.

He really loves what he does on Braniac and Top Gear, which imo makes the shows what they are.

Top Gear Axed ? Do me a favour ! ! ! ! You might as well say they're gonna ban The 10 o Clock News cos a journalist in a war zone got shot.


they might try and run the show without him if hes to seriously injured to come back to the show. but those 3 thats in Top Gear now IS Top Gear. without every one of those 3 there wont be a Top Gear imo.

its THOSE 3 that make that show the great laugh it is. they will try and run the show anyway but if he isnt gonna be able to come back the show WILL be dead no matter if the other 2 stay. just because those 3 complete eachother so awesomly.

appearantly on the last run (bbc deny it was for top gear ofc -.-) when he pulled the chute something went wrong and made the car go to the right and spun him a cuple of times ..
hearing about having brain injury sucks ;( he is a class presenter :worthy:

and to those that say he is a car fanatic .. sure he is but u never know .. a life risking situation can make someone terrified of something for the rest of their lives ;(

Said on the news earlier that theres a chance of good recovery, though probably not full given the extent of the accident. Hope he does return to some form of TV though.

they said he suffered a significant brain injury, not significant brain injury
i.e he took a knock, not the whole thing turned to mush

at least thats the way i understood it

I barely watch an hours worth of TV a week if at all but he does seem like a very nice person from what little i've seen.

I seriously hope he does not suffer any brain damage from this, it would be terrible for him and his family.

Lets hope his recovery is as fast as his cars.

It will be a sad loss but teh show wont die, i remember when Richard joined and most people hated him so it shows given time and a good presenter that anythings possible.

I really hope he gets better but if it all goes pear shaped Top Gear will go on...and still be a great show.

doctors said he is making "satisfactory progress"

Doctors also downgraded his condition from "serious but stable" to "stable".

now that is good news.

to be walking and talking just less than 2 days after the accident is amazing, and im soo happy that Top Gear with hammond may be back on the horizen soon.

he is indeed one charismatic and seemingly unkillable presenter, fingers crossed for a complete and swift recovery with no lingering psychological problems.

Very good news.

Such a fuz over a tv presenter :eek7:

I never did get this whole "fanatic" thing when peopåle act like utter strangers, and possible a**holes and total wankers, are like part of a family when all they've seen is their media persona.

I just don't get it and hopefully someone CAN explain what the big deal is, or is it just something to gossip about like the tabloids do?

as a viewer of the show i like how he presents, adds character and fun, to have him not in the show would make it less fun to watch.

To know that a guy who makes me laugh (even in brainiac) will be ok and continue to present shows i enjoy makes me happy. Also the fact he didnt die is also good.

Like with Steve Irwin too shame he went really

Oh and i bet he is still going on about his teeth lol
