tonight sounds like its gonna be good coz i watched the American version on the site and its so funny especially when they think they’re brilliant but from the pic im guessing the English one will be much more safety mad with helmets and padding which will be fun but less funny
btw did anybody see Hammond’s new kids show?
kinda like brainiac but with children instead not as good but hes ok in it (bad coat though lol)

Can;t wait

heres hoping its going to be a good’n

We at the First Reformed Church Of Hamster have blessed this show. Watch and worship, or we’ll come round and sing at you.

Looks a bit like a Japanese show called “Takeshi’s Castle” on Challenge.

Lol Rev Q. Hammsterfan ok ok I watched it please don’t sing!!!

Ok it was fun, cheesy as heck, and just sarcastic enough BUT not quite my cuppa I am afraid. Too many contestants, too long, too brightly coloured. Too much!

Having just watched Total Wipeout I and probably gozillions of others would pledge real money to a charity of your choice to see The Hamster, Captain Slow and Jeremy do the course. Come on lads – show us what you re really made of.
MTW

lol that show was brilliant. Was there no temptation to shout “Oliveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee r!” at any point? Roll on next week’s episode.

That was funny. I hope they apologised to Elias for making a total joke out of him, funny as he was. And that fat bird who was supposed to be “The one and only”, just goes to show that it’s funnier when they’re full of themselves. Even funnier when she was really chuffed with a time of about 6 mins, when the top guys were doing it in about half that.

A strong rival to Gladiators. Actually, it’s better for being less serious. And not having really plastic and annoyingly orange people who act like they’re all that and end up looking like pillocks for it. And having no adverts.

What a great show, I haven’t laughed so much in ages!

Hammond is brilliant – they really should have let him use that commentating style on Formula 1, especially as he knows bugger all about it. I reckon they’ve missed a trick there.

It’s also one step closer to Top Gear and world domination, so it ticks all the boxes.

it was well good
I would love do do and wipe the faces of the lads faces. Where do you find these people anyway?

What would be even better though would be to have jezza, slow, hamster and stig battling it out. Fuuny. I’d would pay millions to see jeremy or james on the giant inflatable balls. Hehe

I must agree with moo point though. Bring back the waistcoat and ditch the long one hamster!

lol i loved the bit about the woman going the speed of light..

@1: in the american version do they really not wear helmets? odd because in american rugby they wear full on body armour lol

good show!

oh dear hammond only got as far as chesney hawkes fan and had to turn over dont give up the day job

Was that a bet?

it was alright, some of the contestants i thought were complete loony’s. it was definately better than fifth gear and the rubbish what was on bbc1 after (some thing to do with graham norton only that, after that its back to great tv)

:S missed it, it will be on again (yn)

I enjoyed that and laughing at some of the contestants. This is one my son and I can really enjoy together. Thank you, Richard.

I think that this show was very good. Inevertably there was going to be somebody similar to Miss Bournemouth!!! who just wears pink knee socks and hopes not to get them muddy. She also had a quite strange centre of gravity……landing quite literally on her front everytime the sweeper came. Richard presented this very well, and I loved the commentary of the bow and the perfect dive…Well done hamster

He’s also on BBC2 at 8:30am on Saturdays….kiddies programme Blast Lab! My daughter loves it already! (I think it’s a plus that she’s already a fan of his and watches Top Gear).

Also – is Amanda (who is cohosting Total Wipeout) Mindy, his wife? Remarkable similarities if not!

Wasn’t half as good as the American one. Mostly, I thought, due to one having one commentator. The two american guys were seriously funny at dryly mocking the contestants. Hammond is just an equivalent to Craig Charles in Takeshi’s Castle, or Harry Hill in You’ve been framed.

If the course is here in Argentina it’s a pity we (Argentineans) couldn’t see the Hamster in his whole glory. Please BBC, go international.

It was just like ‘It’s a knockout’ but funnier! Great comments by Hammond, but why was he in Argentina? It was a bit of a comedown for him, but still good and funny!

I don’t reckon he was actually in Argentina…he was defo in a studio…probably in Manchester!

i watched it tonight and it was funny!
ben ashcroft i agree, good comments from hammond. also i loved the shirt he was wearing lol

hes just spnt £36.99 on lotto tickets and junk at bp

becareful its 2DECEES

nice to be all together now

Did he actually go to Argentina?

From Wikipedia:
Obstacles
The obstacles will be like the ones of the American show.
Format
The format will be like those of the American show.

Hammond by himself is just another talking head in a nice suit in some studio somewhere, seriously I know they’ve already taped a whole whack of shows but please find two people who can actually throw jokes back and forth at each other.I’ve watched the whole US series, and those announcers are D U M B dumb, but they are funny. Is he really that hard up for money he has to stoop to this level of mediocrity.

Coming from a Canadian point of view you have to have the sarcasm of Ed the Sock to achieve the purpose of the “talking head” of the series, make fun of the people who were stupid enough to do something they had no business in trying to accomplish.

Your tax dollars well spent, I think not.

Richard: You have one show, stay with that, and stop buying all those stupid cars and going into debt.

James and Jeremy: Please smack him across the head for selling out his image and get him into more crashmobiles.

FYI, I downloaded it from BitTorrent, but will not anymore.

Laugh, nearly as good as the Waitrose ads. If Hammond carries on at this rate he will be in the next Big Brother ‘Celeb’ special.

i enjoyed the show because its like you get to do activities and exercise to swim so i hope im going to watch episode 2 tommorow.

Ohh dear.

I thought I would give this a go, and was nearly in tears ………. as to how low the millionaire Hammo would go to make a few more quid.

It was the TV since ” its a knockout ” only worse.

Stick to your day job Richard….. not selling fish in Morrisons

A giggle, good fun. Nothing wrong with simple, honest fun.

it was brilliant i laughed all the way through! there is no way i could do that ! brilliant!

i agree with morgan 3 wheeler they should have a celb version instead of normal people for charity lol

i fort it was awsome but mainly coz hammond was in it lookin fitter than ever!!

luv sophie

that was LITERALLY the funnyist thing ever

That was awesome! Don’t the contestents realise how pathetically-stupid they all look?! And, yes, i also agree with morgan 3 wheeler & moo point. The celebrity one sounds epic! What about Jeremy trying out the course!? That really would be, top television!

I watched Richard in the morning one word HOT, watched Richard in the evening, thanku for one hour of sheer tears & needing oxygen, u do no wrong will have to have more of stupid people did like OLIVER, he was ok loking Richard HOT, YUMMY & very, very funny, love u & the show. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

What a piece of art… it will be tv classic in the long run…always good to see idiots taking it all so serious… lets face it it is better than “Bring on the Wall”.. there arent any ‘celebrities’ for once.

The BBC have a real problem with Saturday evening TV. The Wall and this horseshit prove that.

If you found this funny you really shouldn’t be allowed out on your own.

what a load of shit ! Richard you can do so much better than that load of crap ! Stick to cars mate.

Hamster probably needed a bit more money for the credit crunch… so he did this.

That was rubbish, Hamster!

Is my dress nice eeenoff

First part was boring but the commentary from Richard was so funny. Will watch it again.

it woz awesome

ma and ma sister were in stitches watchin it

when they fell into the mud and water was classic lol

cnt wait till nxt week – actually watchin hammond on saturday nites n mays new show tuesday nites (wen it starts) helps with the waitin 4 top gear series 13

Very funny show. I reckon the 3 top gear lads should go on it and see who does the best! That would be hilarious and surely attract tons of viewers!

Watching clumsy Overweight possibly obese people , falling down on several fake cheap imitations of T@keshi’s Castle; really is Idiocy made in Mr. Beane’s Head!!

I DID NOT DWELL MORE THAN 3 MIN AT ANY ONE TIME watching that stuff, popping in every 10 min to see if it gets any better, naaah not really.!

I don’t see why this Richard when he began to film the show, did not see what a disaster that is? Oh!! awefull, i thought he’s gonna do something explosive, flames mad stunts or just super challenges ect since he’s also known as ”Short Angry Bloke” – Let it all out, as he called himself a few series ago.

It’s a disaster made in hell; take it off da tv and replace it with Robin Hoods last series, this is a waste of space AND time. Even the part of America where people mate with vegtables could have come of something better.

I thought Richard was always just ”acting” Feeble-minded, but it seems to me that he is for real.

The low amount of comments here really say more than enough; only the utter NUTTERS who would spark into laughter, simply because they saw Richard yaaan in a slightly orckward way.

Veg……

Oh dear…. I’d prefer to watch an hour of Morrisons adverts than that show again

I’d say when I watched total wipeout on Saturday that it was quite good and funny! The best bit I’d say is the topple towers where everyone thinks that they are so good and then fall straight into the mud. I think Hammond should have a try to see how he gets on!!!

So why was Richard stuck in front of a pretend background and not in Argentina….short of money to send him out?

enough said

It was stupid but I laughted out loud plenty.

I could watch people getting punched in the face by those boxing glove things all day.

Hope it paid well mate, cant see that one winning any awards. Slagged it off all the way through but still watched it till the end so bad it was good.

well unlike these pretentious idiots who mostly can’t even use the English language, and seem to think that everyone’s opinion MUST concur with their own, I have a sense of humour. And I thought that the show was ‘literally’ hilarious. Hammond’s p**s taking commentary was spot on also.

Incidentally, it was made searingly clear at the very start that Hammond was in a nice comfy studio instead of out in Argentina getting bitten by mosquitos.

look forward to the next episode. it is literally the one and only… well maybe not, but it is good telly.

The actual show was so bad it was actually funny!! I LOVED the sarcastic comments Richard made – it was worth watching just for that and I’ll watch it again for that reason (that and the fact that I get to see the lovely Richard on TV again!!) I wouldnt watch it if he wasnt presenting it though…..it really was an even worse version of Its a Knockout or Gladiators – and they’re bad enough!!

Brilliant!!!! Especially with the balls they were hilarous..and when they spun them round and the first guy completely missed the first platform HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Keep it up, family primetime shows are coming back, im fed up with X-Factor and these stupid reality TV shows :@

Its great beacuse they think they’re great but then they fall in the mud or get punched or something like that… Great TV

this was hilarious, although if it is a slight copy of takeshi’s castle!

radio times ….x-bow helpping me change wheels to 19″ then heading home after a line up.will pick up sweet & sour chicken + egg rice

radio times,,saw in the garage near the side door the maserati Quattroporte so whots the story behind that?

going to look at the cup holder now

tiny dancer

N…..U…..T……T…..E…..R…….ss sssssss

The only thing that was not half-hearted & cheap rubbish, really are the multi Fists on the wall, that hand out 4 blows per second…..NICE…

The rest-inducing Richards comment, i found cheap, half-hearted and ….well.. plain

But that’s that.

Okay everyone so it was crap saturday night telly, but what exactly is so wrong with that? I laughed out loud. A LOT!!

I only watched it because i heard Hammond was presenting it. I admit i was intrigued to find out to what depths he had sunk but now i totally get it. Premise sucks but the execution was genius. Very funny. So funny that i made my brother watch it on catch up later that night and sat wetting myself through this second helping.

So kudos hammond for getting involved in something that will put a smile on people’s faces. Cheers.

just left there now .ther are few videos The Get away parking ,going to find
somewhere new to park

The show was rubbish, but because Hammond was on it, I watched the whole thing.

It’s just a rubbish version of Takeshi’s Castle. Amusing for a while, but the people are just too annoying. Sorry Richard!

Not so good as I would’ve imagined, but still fun to watch for a while

No.20 KimT no its not his wife she looks different to that and i think is shorter

i saw it it was brilliant and really funny i would recomend it.

lol, it was brilliant, i loved it. Even though it was pretty much the same story for every contestant, i just laughed my head off when they failed. Especailly on the big balls bit, that was class! And I like the way richard made fun of the contestants and gave them nicknames, especially ‘literally rich’, that was funny

silly nonsense but really funny,lol. the kids loved it and i thought richards comments were really funny. will be watching again.
also saw blast lab on sat morning – BRILLIANT, great to see richard doing science again and looking soooooooo good

Richard thats a very funny show and you are brilliant and funny as always,i loved the way you took the mickey out of the contestants and gave them nicknames you’re just amazing.by the way i even watched blast lab just cos you’re presenting and producing and i’n not a kid i’m 37!!!! ahem anyway as you can see i have a hamster crush and a very big one at that. the more of you on telly the better! and i LOVE the name of your compny,hamsters wheel!! love you always an ps. never ever leave top gear xxxxxxxx

me again richard you look sooooo cute and good you’re an inspiration to anyone who has ever had an accident. You’re a great example keep it up honey xxxxxxxxx

Aww c’mon! Can’t get any video to work on this site since it’s bin “new and improved” Woot a pain. From Canada By the by

i fort the show was very good, but is it the same rounds each week???? i would love to see hammond standing by the course though, instead of just sitting in an empty studio in london!!!!

i fink for comic relif they should plan “Top Gear does Wipeout” jezza, hamster, captain slow and the stig to do ALL the courses and then there should be a dare for the loser!!! c’mon make it happen…its all for charity!!!!!

Lisa-loo agree with u on ur two comments Richard indeed looked so cute, made my heart flutter abit, Richard is very funny with his comments bout the contestants with the names Richard mentioned, will keep watch as long as Richard looks cute every week, ps will keep watching blast lab & i’m 36, keep up the good work Richard. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

the first show was sooooo funny!!!!

cool i9 am a girl who loves all the things u are in hammond

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxi xxxxxxxxxxthink u are cute hammond u are sooooooooo cute

Total Wipeout is the UK edition of a popular American TV show – also named ‘Wipeout’, and carries on in the very same vain. The shows center-piece is a hap-hazard foam obstacle course over which each contestant must run, jump, climb and scramble over, with the fastest going on to receive a worthwhile sum of money. Those longing for the return of ‘It’s a knockout’ will find the humour and pace pretty similar, and know what to expect.

As usual with this type of Saturday evening family fun, the experience is played strictly for laughs; and while not being the most intellectually stimulating, there is nothing here that you couldn’t leave the kids joyfully entertained in front of for half an hour. Richards comments are sarcastic and genuinely funny in places (something which will surely come to the fore as the series, and Richard, find their feet), and can hold the interest of those who just love to see others suffer.

Having said all that, Total Wipeout makes no pretensions about being anything other than an imported all-American no-brainer – something some views may find unappealing. Richard keeps the momentum going but ultimately fails to recapture the feather-weight banter of the U.S. series – a problem possibly quite easily solved by injecting some much needed rolling laughter – in the same way that Stewart Hall made ‘It’s A Knockout’ so much better.

Sorry, I meant ’safe to leave the kids in front of for AN HOUR’.

I actually prefer Richard’s new CBBC show – Richard Hammond’s underground lair. I know it’s meant for five year olds, but its still brilliant. Its on iplayer now, and it features Oliver!

Richard Hammond’s Blast Lab is a new series directed particularly towards children of pre-teen age, and features Hammond and his Botswana side-kick Oliver. The show is also an attempt to bring science together with quizzes, challenges, and gungey fun and games.

This, being the first show in the series, gives us a flavour of the fun on offer; and seems to set Richard up as the next Johnny Ball. The actual ’science’ is underplayed enough to keep kids interested, but lacks 2D graphic illustrations which could push the show along. The action is interesting and fun to watch, although some viewers may wish a fourth round of play was introduced to replace many of the slow action-replays, interviews, and game explanations.

Overall, a very good attempt at children’s entertainment, and one which has the potential to get better and better.

i missed his new show last week but saw it on i player it is great. i also might be going to the the top gear live concert yeah

OMG! What a show. I was upset to find I missed it coz of stupid work >:( but was thrilled to find it was taped lol. So funny. I loved the dude who got stuck for 15 mins – bless. Lol. Is it me or does fridge magent fall in love with every Oliver??! Lol. When he said he was good looking and a surfer I was expecting a blonde fit toned guy and he wasnt even that good looking. Hammo, you have bad taste in men! Haha!! Lmao.

It was hilarious!! Even my mom loved it (and that doesn’t happen often). Love it how people make themselves ridiculous….

wonder if hamster could get round the qualifiers
first he will drown in the mud, then drown in the water but he would be good at bouncing on the big red balls. would love to see a comic relief version top gear does total wipeout. in fourth place and in hospital jezza, third place may, second hamster and in first the mighty stig.

race girl rachel glad u agree with my commentsabout richard i have always thought he is very cute and hot i really do love him! so i’m not the only person in her late 30’s to watch blast lab ha ha. i would genuinly watch anything with richard in it did u go to top gear live i did and i was 4 rows from the front,he walked right past me and looked even more yummy in the flesh mmmmmmm!

Second Episode: Richard seems to have lost some of his enthusiasm for the show. Pitty. I bet the producers said “and no raucous laugher and no fooling about – this is a professional TV show on the BBC!”. That never seemed to stop Murray Walker, Stewart Hall, or that guy from the Horse Racing… Surely in this show, of all shows, we need raucous laughter and fooling about.

Ent’usiasms, Ent’usiasms.

just wat we needed 4 a saturday nite… a chance to laugh at sum1. thanks richard u made it the best gameshow on tv. love u!

Oh God.

So bad that it is actually very entertaining. It would be axed if it wasn’t for Hammond.

I didn’t see this weeks. Was it as awful as last weeks?

I hope RH is getting a lot of money for that. The BBC should really be ashamed of itself. Talk about dumbing down.

They’d be as well putting The Dukes of Hazzard back on for Saturday evenings since that doesn’t insult the nation’s intelligence as much as The Wall or Total Wipeout.

Awesome show… where can I apply?

Watched it on saturday, was quite funny actually… watching people fall off things!

The US version WipeOut has much funnier commentary as well as more inventive additions to things such as the spinner etc. Check it out on youtube. UK version has potential but need to add more humourous comments.

Nothing makes being funny harder than the pressure to be funny. To be honest, it would be easy to send this kind of entertainment up – and the only person that could really get away with it (that I can think of) would in fact be RH.

out of the two shows i at a rie old age of 29(for one month onlyleft) iprefer the kids programme alot more entertaining watching kids getting disappointed and making them blow up “what they would of won!” however i do get a slight kick out of people getting boxed in the face and bouncing off big red balls.
must admit if it wasnt Richard presenting though wouldnt be a viewer so the BBC arnt that dumb! Id watch if too be honest it was just a static picture of him(yes very sad I know!)
but the kids prog is like brainiac for kids and just as witty as he was on that!!

i thought it was really funny especially when hammmond jus took the mick out of everyone!!!!

did anyone else find the contestants really annoyin???????? ha i laughed so hard wen they failed coz they really thought they were gonna make it.

i agree with 81 id watch anything with hammond in it, he is so fit!!!! lol!!!!!!

Episode 2 was awesome. Bring on episode 3!!!

He is on the One Show and Blue Peter tomorrow, right?

lol and he isn’t on anything

123456789

chew-chew-chew, caramel and chocolate!, 5,4,3,2,1!

yes this program is amazing but maybe you should do a sepicial and you RICHERED HAMMONED SHOULD DO THE CHALLANGES . LOL

it’s good but . . doesn’t deserve to be on every week!! it just gets boring . . don’t ya fink? it shudda been a christmas special . . funny the firts time but boring when it’s on again and again but nice idea

i’m loving the fact Richard Hammond is getting into all these different shows!! he is fit!! and now i can see more of him!! wooo!!

i like this show

Still love the show hamster and still love u even more u r soooooooo cute scrummy very very funny keep it up luv u 2 bits xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I think Total wipeout is fantastic,it makes me laugh and so does Richard no one could have hosted it better,i would love to take part and Richard laugh at me.Hope there is more to follow oly decent program on bbc on saturdays please dont let it end.Long live top gear too.

love it but it would be funnier if richardgot jezza to do it that be na great laugh

Total wipeout is an amazing show. Is it really finished? If it is, cant wait for the new series.

Imagine if captain slow was the commentry person. Lol, we would be bored to death.

hamster is sexy

noooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooo
yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyoooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooooooo ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrr rrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeeeee essssssssssssssssoooooooo oooowwwwwwwwwwwwrrrrrrrrr rroooooooooooooonnnnnnnnn nnggggggggggg

Need-new-series!!!!!!!!!!  !!! Its so brilliant!!!
I agree that is soo hilarious when ppl fall off very high things in a variety of different ways, Ive watched epsidode 8 ever day after school for 6 days exact. its a er bit more than new years resolution. And 2 tyhe person called Carry i say kinda spose at least u have better taste than those ppl who worship that guy, er Zac Efron/conformist/jock or watever. he looks like something youd find lurking on the bottom of a pond.

I dont like blast lab. If I waz on id just try 2 fail so i got 2 blow it up. I luv laughin at the kids who r older than me cry and get upset. its not as if they lost anythin! Its so funny.

i love total wipeout!
richard hammond is so funny on it!
there is going to be a series 2, lets hope he is going to be the presenter again!
loved all the names he gave the contestants.
