Richard Hammond XXL

Every episode is fantastic, but you can skip episode 9. Episode 9 it literally a recap of the previous 8 episodes.

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.

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.

Love at first sight, and I didn't even have to look up. Hamster, I am short too.

I loved and absolutely enjoyed every episode of this show. The presentation of the material is straight forward. It's simple and understandable but yet very cleaver and informative at the same time leaving the viewer smart and satisfied.

Richard, what is there to say about the Hamster himself that hasn't been said. He's great. I love it how he gets into what he's presenting, how he lights up like a child at the science fare or a child at the ice cream stand as he's learning about the stuff he's presenting.

Live long and prosper Sir Richard, and please keep these shows coming.

Your Yankee viewer.

PS: It would be absolutely fun and great to have occasional cameos from the Capt Slow and the Master of Disaster every now and again.

Cheers!

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