Richard Hammond's Big!

I'm an engineer, and while I know how to make a phone (well, a small part of it anyway), I don't know how to make a stadium, a dam or a building. I thought this was very interesting and well presented.

This has been a really nice watch, Hammond is like a big kid... Well little ;D

I've only seen 2 of these - the Super Galaxy C-5M & VW Wolfsburg but a clear picture is evident.

The problem is Richard Hammond.

He lacks the insight & depth to offer anything of interest.

Schoolboy enthusiasm never compensates for lack of knowledge.

When I compare his efforts to what James May has done in similar situations like say Toy Stories you can see he's a rather mediocre presenter. Clarkson would also do it better.

Presenters like Guy Martin, Ben Fogle & Freddie Flintoff rarely make the grade.

I think the worst is Charlie Boorman.

Who would do this well?

I suggest Ant Anstead, Edd China, Jem Stansfield, Mark Miodownik perhaps even Jason Bradbury. Dick Strawbridge, though he's now pratting about with a French castle.

I just reduced my rating from 4 to 3.

Watch Richard Hammond and his film crew create a fine production and then hear it runied by the sound team who have this puerile notion that relentless heavy metal music is somehow connected with the heavy machinery being featured. The obvious result being that you can't hear anything that is being said.

Good show when you are interested in technic. Realy love this kind of series on discovery+
