    Ten out of ten hide show

    Richard carries plenty of car knowledge, and definately has a brilliant sense of humour is the show Top Gear, which he co-presents. Richard ( nicknamed Hamster ) by his fellow presenters on the Top Gear show, is just an amazing presenter, his humour adds to the show significantly and his car reviews are always of top quality. He definately has a love of speed, and nearly lost his life last year when he crashed a rocket powered car, but bravely got into the seat of a formula one car this season to test drive.

    All in all, hes got the humour, knowledge and can really drive a car well.

    He's great hide show

    A very cool guy and a talent host! I saw him for the first time in Top Gear and I liked him in an instant.. he's great.. he knows how to do his job.. and one of the few people that are truly courageous. But he truly had me at Brainiac.. he put a smile on my face every time I saw him. He's just great. I don't know what else to say about him.. Just watch him and you'll get what I mean.. I;m more than sure that you'll love him immediately.. I guarantee. Hammond, you so damn rock! Keep the good job going !!

    Small man - big talent! hide show

    Where would Top Gear be without him. He is the reason why this show is no longer just showing us performance cars, but about all round entertainment. The way He and Jeremy bounce off of each other is truly fantastic, and when they combine to make fun of James is always hilarious. His cavallier attitude towards risk taking is legendary, pushing his own limits constantly. This only serves to make the show more entertaining. It would be great to see him involved more with the celebrities on the show. I feel he would have a great rapore with them and would be more entertaining than Jeremy. Jeremy's ignorance and mocking can be funny at times during these interviews, but if Hammond was involved as well they would be that much better. You just have to watch the cool wall section to see the potential.
