Richard Hammond's Big!

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.

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

Richard is a perfect host for this show. He lights up like a kid for Christmas. Decades of presenting made him comfortable on camera. Show features huge things in which he conquers fears and braves the uncomfortable zone. Very informative and passionate

Firstly I agree with others that Richard does not have the knowledge to present a program like this. Secondly do we really need the constant back ground music which sometimes drowns out the speech and the natural back ground sounds.
