Word reaches us from The One Show – literally, as they work downstairs from us – that Mr Richard Hammond will be on their telly program this evening.
(You can watch it here on the old iPlayer.)
To be honest, they talk so loudly down there we can hear every word. Every stupid ringtone and every TV clip they put on turned up to 11. But we’re ok about it, honest.
Anyway, Hammond’s on tonight to talk about his new Saturday night gameshow, Total Wipeout. And, according to the noise pollution, they’re also doing something about inventions that changed the world, so we expect Richard’ll probably squeeze a car in or two for that one.
So, if you’re a fan of Hammond’s, then you’ll be wanting to tune in to BBC One at 7pm to see what he has to say for himself…

i will be there!
I’ll be here, but I’ll watch it there!
Watched it. It’s surprising the amount of ‘nothing’ the BBC can cram and pack into some half-hour shows. I was more fascinated with the history of the bog! Anyway, Richardo was on top form as usual, eyes lighting up at the prospect of talking about (TW) Total Wipeout, although the show turned into the (still much lamented) other T.W. – Tomorrows World towards the end. They may as well have been talking about a Deep Core Borer; which could carve out underground vaccum pumped human transportation tubes (like on Futurama) and so defeat the longevity of the car…. ‘Crapper’ than I expected.
Inventions that changed the world! Can’t commend that series highly enough; well due for a re-run!! What could we say has changed the world?
The phonogram (is it?) – music/records
The photograph
The pen
The internet!
A/C Electricity – nicola tesla!
Dynamite
Gun Powder
X – Rays
…and yes, of course, the toilet.
OMG I laughed so much. Adrian gets revenge on Jeremy and Richard’s crap diversion away from the question of driving tests. “Look! A fire!” ROFL!!
Blue Peter was very good too even though it was rather short.
slug: what about the car! Too obvious I suppose.
mISSED IT
wow didn’t the hamster look absolutely scrummy tonight (but then again he always does)he’s so cute and adorable and briliantly funny and mad (my hamster crush getting the better of me again soz!)I loved the show have to admit i never watch it normally but there was a damn good reason to watch it tonight!And we have total wipeout blast lab and repeats of top gear what more could a girl wish for … love u rich keep up the cracking work xxxx
The BBC is running low on money if it has to rely on this kind of cash grab TV. Do you know what I’d LOVE to see again? The BBC has over 24 hours worth of live footage; which it could broadcast for FREE. The 1992 formula one world championships – the one with Mansell and Senna. TV GOLD if ever I saw it. Much missed.
I LOve Watching Total Wipeout Plus His Kids Programme Blast lab If Anyone Wants To See It The Next Show is On Sunday At 3:30 Yeah!
I L0VE RICHARS!!!
xxxx
Just to say i did watch hammond on the one show last night but his kids blast lab program is alright he does stuff for under 12’s and over 18’s but nothing for us inbetween plz do somethin for us!!!!!!???
OH and HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAMES 4 TOMORROW
I hope im the first to say it!!!!
richard hammond is unbeloevable and his shows are top class cant wait to c u on tg again
Is ‘over exposure’ one word or two?
Jess
is it really james’ b day today?
If so happy birthday James!
Happy Birthday James! Have a great day x
Ref comment 11:
“He does stuff for under 12’s and over 18’s.” Do you really think so?
Where would you put Total Wipeout? Where would you put TG?
I’d say Total Wipeout is for under 12s and TG……
…….well, these days that’s for kids, too, these days.
Doing Blast Lab is great, since that’s aimed squarely at children.
But doing Total Wipeout? That’s just not on. What’s the demographic for that show? I’ve said it before, if you like that show you really shouldn’t be allowed out on your own.
Just chasing ratings, that’s all. I just wonder of there’s anything, any show he has turned down.
Oops! These days twice?
That rant got a bit too much for me. I need to go for a lie down.
I really should proof my comments/rants better.
Richard Hammond-he’s in CBBC , he’s in dave, he’s in channel 2- why?
He’s a lot better than Clarkson, any time
Richard Hammond is everywhere coz it is financially viable for him hats off to the fella if it were me i would do the same for that kind of money
I’d draw the line at Total Arsewipe sorry wipeout
i b there
nt gunna miss it
Total WipeOut is Awesome – me n ma sister r always in stitches watchin it
luv ya hammond x
I’ve been watching both blast lab and total wipeout – double dose on a saturday, and I was in stitches watching total wipeout last week. But, on blast lab, richard, have you been borrowing Jeremy’s jeans? *raises eyebrow* You know what I mean…
Keep up the good work – you always make me smile!!
Also, happy birthday to james for yesterday!
So was not happy bloody BBC started one show early i even had my sky plus set to record the lovely haired one i turned over just before due to start to see Hammond laughing and saying the war had started Ive no idea what on about as sky plus started on time and also missed it grrrr!!!!!!!!!!!
Good job Im getting double dosage on Saturdays
Thanks iplayer just watched it
ooh Mr Hammond im just smiling now
Hi,¿can i talk with james,jeremy,hammond?are they writing in this web?
I love the double dosage of Richard on Saturdays.
It’s helping the withdrawal symptons from TG!
Also loved Richard on the One Show and Blue Peter.
Keep the good work up Rich!
saturdays are brill with double dose of richard. the kids are even getting up early just to watch BLAST LAB. haven’t laughed as much in ages as do watching TOTAL WIPEOUT especially at richards comments. RICHARD, IF YOU READ THIS BY ANY CHANCE PLEASE PLEASE DON’T CUT YOUR HAIR – you look awesome with it longer. can’t wait for TG to be back
Yes Rich don’t cut your hair u look lovely… but u did when u had it short as well!! xxx
Once a young couple driving a car in the countryside tried out an impropriate way of having sex during driving. Of course they ended up of the road. Unfortunate the man was stuck in the wreck. The shocked girlfriend decided to run for help at a nearby farmsted. Just fairly covering her vip-entrance with one of her boyfriends shoes she met a local farmer. She emediatly asked him for assistance to pull her boyfriend out. He then looked carefully at her for a while and answered. -Hell, no he is way to far up!

I only caught five minutes of the show..
But Mr Hammond is looking more and more like James everyday..
Don’t you agree people??
Just wanted to say Get Well Soon Richard, Do you have to crash everything you drive/ride?
why does richard and jeremy have to hurt themselves all the time?????
why does james get all the good luck?
probably his hair!
oh yeah, richard, nice spandau ballet tribute jacket in Blast Lab!
can’t wait for TG in the spring! watched the winter olympics, the bit when james slid off the ice making a mark was classic!
Keep it up!
Top Gear; ambitious, but dangerous!
ps. Richard, get well, and keep off the horse!
I’m just reading the TV quick and it’s not good. One of the angry british public has sent in a complaint about total wipeout. Insane if you ask me. Who wouldn’t want to watch the gorgeous richard hammond presenting a totally crazy gameshow? Wierdo. Anyway, you’re probably not even going to read this message but oh well. loving both show’s (not the one show, sorry. What? You find it really boring when you’re 12.) and I am OBSESTED with Top Gear. I got the book this year too! Bye The Mole, Richard, Jezza, James(captain slow, not anymore!) and the Stig. xxxxx (2 of them is for hammond)
oh g .o .d .missed the last2 epesodes
The show was wicked and awesome
It came home nd my brother was watching it

That was well cOOL
Lol
