ImUrOBGYN Posted July 26, 2011 Report Share Posted July 26, 2011 "Whether you love Top Gear USA or think it an affront to comedic decency, one thing's certain: the show seems to have helped spawn a new wave of car-themed programming. Adam Carolla's The Car Show has taken to the air as a result of The History Channel's move into fuel-soaked entertainment, and now The BBC is striking back. The Beeb has announced that Richard Hammond will be getting his own show on BBC America soon. Called Hard Drive with Richard Hammond, the program uses a similar format as the UK's World's Toughest Driving Tests. Hammond will travel around the United States, driving and competing in some of the toughest vehicles our country has to offer. We're sure he'll meet some genuine characters along the way as well. Hammond isn't the only Top Gear presenter being awarded an American show. James May will also take to BBC America with James May's Man Lab U.S. based on the UK version of his program."

twistedfocus1647545489 Posted July 26, 2011 Report Share Posted July 26, 2011 Not sure if want. Too many "new" car shows lately. I'll try it out, but I'm not getting my hopes up yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRed05 Posted July 26, 2011 Report Share Posted July 26, 2011 Hammond is my least favorite TG presenter...I think the only redeeming quality of him is that he likes Porsche's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rally Pat Posted July 26, 2011 Report Share Posted July 26, 2011 I like Hamster, Brainiac was an awesome show when he presented it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaSSon Posted July 26, 2011 Report Share Posted July 26, 2011 Only as long as it doesn't interfere with Top Gear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avenger1647545502 Posted July 26, 2011 Report Share Posted July 26, 2011 I've heard some of the radio talk shows he used to do back when...I think the "Top Gear" writers have an easy time with his scripts..."Richard, ad-lib something funny here, then something else after Clarkson gets done blathering."
