BBC to show Hamster crash
This seems to be a bit of an about-turn from the Beeb who were previously rumbling about canning Top Gear. According to RTE News, they now plan to show - documentary style - Richard Hammond’s 300 mph Vampire jet car crash.
Bosses have decided to show a special programme about his accident, if Richard agrees.
Hammond, nicknamed Hamster, is set to fully recover from “significant” brain injuries sustained when the jet-powered car flipped and crashed during a stunt for ‘Top Gear’.
The BBC will now wait until the 36-year-old is fully recovered before confirming the project.
A source told The Daily Mirror: “The aim is not to be gruesome but to show all the preparations. Then we’ll look at what went wrong and perhaps learn lessons.”
Go Hamster go!

TO be fair, I don’t think the BBC ever discussed axing Top Gear, it was all the wanker public that wanted it axed. Glad to see the BBC didn’t give in, much like the Jerry Spring opera.
