I'd pay them good money to get rid of The American (Idiot).
But I guess that's going to be hard to do with their sponsor setup.

The "The Grand Tour" Thread

I really enjoyed Top Gear this past Sunday.

Compared to Grand Tour , Top Gear features better cars , less dumb antics

I must admit that Top Gear sans Carrot Face is a whole lot better. That celebrity bit though...

Haven't watched GT in a while but the bits where they talk to each other in the studio was cringeworthy as well. These shows should stick tho filmed segments.

Richard Hammond was apparently involved in a "horror crash" while filming in a remote part of Mozambique.

Knocked out cold while riding a motorcycle.

At least so says his dad, in the Daily Wail.

Knocked out cold != horror crash. Hope the wee hamster gets better though anyhow!

They forgot to add that it happened weeks ago...

Richard Hammond has broken his silence after falling off a motorbike while filming The Grand Tour.

Hammond, 47, was injured while shooting the Amazon Prime show in a remote part of Mozambique, east Africa, but has reassured fans that he is fine – and joked that his injuries were not serious enough to land him a book deal.

Writing on social media site DriveTribe, he said: “It's true, I did fall off a motorbike whilst filming recently for The Grand Tour in Mozambique.[

“I banged my head, yes, along with pretty much everything else apart from my left thumb, which remains un-bruised.

“Can't tell you more yet about the how and why of it; that's all for later in the year on the show. As for injuries; well put it this way, I don't think I can get a book out of it.”

It is not known when the incident happened but Hammond’s co-star Jeremy Clarkson tweeted about being in Mozambique in early March.

I see the Mail has an updated story that now mentions it happened 2 weeks ago.

Former Top Gear presenter Hammond, who sustained brain injuries after a 288mph rocket car accident in 2006, toppled off his motorcycle and banged his head while riding through a 'remote' part of Mozambique.

The star confirmed he fell off his motorcycle and banged his head but is 'fine' and reassured fans he wouldn't quit by saying: 'Life goes on'.

In a blog post, he wrote: 'It's true, I did fall off a motorbike whilst filming recently for The Grand Tour in Mozambique. I banged my head, yes, along with pretty much everything else apart from my left thumb, which remains un-bruised. Can't tell you more yet about the how and why of it; that's all for later in the year on the show. As for injuries; well put it this way, I don't think I can get a book out of it.'

Hammond was filming for the new series of The Grand Tour with Jeremy Clarkson and James May.

It is not known if he was wearing a helmet during the filming but co-star Clarkson said he was 'hurt quite badly'.

Speaking from his home in Ross on Wye, in Herefordshire, Mr Hammond said his son told him he had a 'nasty accident'.

'I don't know all the full details but from what I have been told Richard was knocked out for quite some time. It was a nasty accident but he told me he has fully recovered,' said Mr Hammond.

The accident is thought to have taken place within the last fortnight.
