Should top gear be banned after richard hammond recent accident?
Answers:
No it is still the person driving the vehicles responsibility for their own life - it was his choice to drive the car. Look at Steve Irwin for another example he took responsibility for his own life as I do with my skydiving qualification. Plus the programme is ace!
No..I'd miss that show!
no
hey atleast it shows what can happen if you wanna be like that. Kinda like a life lesson.
Well some "experts" agree that the show went to far, and that there is also an argument about the shows lack of health and safety.
I personally loved the show and would hate for it to be cancelled.
No, not at all, he knew what he was getting into.
The Stig should have been driving it, and i wonder if they have a video of his crash. Let's just hope The Hamster goes back to hosting Top Gear otherwise there will be nothing good on TV.
No it shouldn't be banned, accidents happen. If they didn't, it wouldn't be a risk-taking and it wouldn't be TV. However, lessons need to be learned
no, i don't think so. It could have happened at any time and in any car. I'm just glad he's still alive.
it was an accident at the end of the day it could have easily happened if the stig was driving the car, just one of those things, i mean they dont ban horse racing if a Jockey falls and gets injured? he had a choice to drive the car or not, he made his choice im sorry he got hurt and do hope he makes a full recovery but no need to ban the program because of it.
Certainly not, the nanny state we live in already treats us all like kids, probably because of the sue culture we have imported from the states, everybody is afraid of being sued by everyone else so we had all better just stay indoors and not do anything exciting. I doubt "the Hamster" was forced into driving the car and I would think that there would be many of us who would have jumped at the chance.
No,would you ban golf if tiger woods fell over on the golf course.
no way,the show is amazing and accidents keep happening.its life.lets all just pray hamster gets well soon.
No, the show has a genuine consumer and entertainment appeal. They should tone down the events and things that they do though. Sometimes I have watched the programme and thought that there are accidents just waiting to happen.
What law would you use to ban it?
no, if Top Gear was taken from the air BBC might as well give us our licence view back there is nothing else worth watching
No way!
Yes please, its a crap show. Run by ego's
No way.if nothing else it highlights the dangers.this accident I mean.Richard must have a real fearless streak..or is he just crazy!
should deep sea diving etc be banned after steve irwins accident.the show must go on. as freddie says,,
Should nature programs be banned because Steve Irwin died?I am gutted that Richard Hammond got hurt, and glad he seems to be on the mend, but he is a big boy and he undertook the task of attempting to break the land speen record 100% aware of the risks invlolved. Top gear is a quality show and it is noones fault that this happened. If the slightest mishap caused everything to be banned think how lacking in colour and fun life would be.
i dont think it should be banned but the producers and presenters should take a step back and stop and think about reduceing there speed after all speed kills .
hope not i love the proggramme the presenters are all great together they always seem to make me laugh
I think that the show should have been banned before Richard Hammond had the accident!
It teaches kids that drivers can drive fast - but they think they can do it on the road!
I don't like the show - and I certainly don't like Mr Clarkson!
They were talking on the News the other evening about if all the Health and Safety precautions had been taken! Clearly not, in my opinion!
I agree with you.They get paid a lot of money to do these things there not forced to do them.
No!!,
definitely not!
Hamster, wouldnt want it banned, n as for the notion he should not have been driving the car, it was his choice,
ppl like you would stop ainsly hariot or jamie from cooking, live on telly, in case they got burned with hot fat..
or war correspondants going to war-zones in case they got blown up,,
get a life, these peeps have and they live it to the edge.
Of course not, he knew what he was doing.
I went to watch drag racing at Santa Pod a few years ago and what I wouldn't have given to have taken part in one of those races!! the adrenaline was immense, just watching! You have to take some risks in life as it would get really mundane and you may just as well move to Stepford!!
How daft is your question! Of course it should not be banned. If you take that argument further you should ban all cars from the roads, all planes from the air, all ships from the sea, and we should all sit in our padded, hermetically sealed homes.
Richard is, I presume, paid a handsome fee for taking such risks. This one just didn't come off that's all.
I am very sorry he has had an accident and wish him a full recovery and look forward to seeing him again on the telly as soon as possible. He is great fun and I, for one, shall miss him if he doesn't return to the screens asap.
Get Well soon - Richard.
Did any one suggest that Formula 1 should be banned after the death of Ayrton Senna?
Driving cars is risky, but so is crossing the road or going fell-walking.
I hope that Richard Hammond makes a full recovery, and send my good wishes to him and his family.
The show is great and should continue.
Not even an accountant or local government official can go through life without risks. But who want's to see a show about local government officials living dangerously?
Get well soon, Mr. Hammond.
Was it Lone Wolf? There is an on/off switch on your tele, or failing that you could change channels. If you don't like a programme, don'r watch it.
It is time to change the format.Jeremy Clarkson is so far up his own a**e that he can see the back of his teeth and the programme has degenerated into how may cars can the destroy in a year or how many sets of tyres can they bugger up by wheelspinning eveything until smoke pour from it..its just to stupid now to watch
Lately most of the programs shown on Top Gear are not palpable to my tastes. I think it is being made by a crew who is trying to prove anything to anybody. Hark back to the Good ol'nineties when Tiff Needell,Quentin Willson and Jeremy used to present it. Those were the day a youngster used to tape every top gear program and waited for it every week.
Top Gear should rework the format of the current run and include more of the Hybrids and road tests of new models driven by me and you.
Dump Jeremy- He is too old and cranky for the job.
