Adventures With Evel, Oliver, and The Vice-President Of Botswana
The wry, honest and often hilarious chronicles of a very brave and clever TV presenter, Arctic Explorer and general drawer of the Short Straw. As one third of the BBC's Top Gear team, Richard Hammond's year since his near-fatal accident has been full of stunts and drama. From a race to the North Pole (with skis and dog-sled) to a journey through Botswana in a car named Oliver, and a seventeen-mile run through floods to his Gloucestershire home, in order to get to his daughter's birthday party, the year has been eventful, to say the least . . .With his boundless optimism in the face of certain failure, Richard Hammond has become one of our funniest writers about a life (and a job) which constantly present a challenge.

He has made a number of TV documentaries: Richard Hammond and The Holy Grail, The Gunpowder Plot: Exploding the Legend, Timewatch - Bloody Omaha, and Richard Hammond Meets Evel Kneivel. In 2007 and 2009 Richard filmed the highly acclaimed National Geographic series Engineering Connections.
