More about Jeremy Clarkson - Don’t Stop Me Now

Jeremy Clarkson thinks there is much more to life than cars and Top Gear. There’s a whole world out there just waiting to be discovered. So, before he gets on to torque steer and active suspension, he’d like to take a little time to consider the bigger picture. Don’t worry, we’ll get to the car bit in the end, but before we do, we’ll learn about: the unfortunate collapse of the British empire; why Galapagos tortoises are all mental; France, reduced to the size of a small coconut; why Jeremy Paxman and the bass guitarist of AC/DC aren’t so very different; the problems of being English; and God’s most stupid creation. Then there are the cars: Whether it’s the poxiest little runabout or an exotic, firebreathing supercar, no one else writes about cars like Jeremy. More Info

More about Richard Hammond

Richard Hammond is one of our most in-demand and best-loved television presenters. On September 20, 2006, he suffered a serious brain injury following a high-speed car crash while filming Top Gear. On the Edge is his compelling account of life before and after the accident and an honest description of his year of recovery, full of drama and incident. It is also, perhaps, his explanation of why, as a married man and father of two young daughters, he was prepared to risk all by strapping himself to the front of a jet engine with the power of eleven Formula One cars. A daredevil and a petrolhead long before his association with Top Gear, Richard tells the story of his life as an adrenalin junkie, from the small boy showing off with ridiculous stunts on his bicycle to the adolescent with a near-obsessive attraction to speed and the smell of petrol.
