    Default Presenter of Time Commanders in car crash

    Sounds like he's lucky to be alive...

    He said: "We were down there with Top Gear who were filming him trying to break the British land speed record.

    "On the previous run, the car had just gone over 300mph but I am not sure if it had broken the record.

    "They had just done one more run and were planning to finish when it veered off to the right.

    "One of the parachutes had deployed but it went on to the grass and spun over and over before coming to a rest about 100 yards from us."

    He said his crew and an ambulance that was already on the airfield rushed over and found the car upside down and "dug in" to the grass.

    Let's hope he has a full recovery. He was by far the better of the two hosts on Time Commanders.
    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    Let's hope he gets better very soon. I do enjoy Top Gear very much. I think the programme has become so much better with the three of them.

    I hope he makes a speedy recovery.....Top Gear is one hell of a show.

    Hopefully he will recover quickly as the hamster is the best presenter of the three (allthough clarkson has his moments)

    The family are refusing to send out any details other than that his condition is serious but stable. Pessimistically, that could mean he's suffered major injuries. The fact that he's in a hospital that specialises in head injuries is, well...
