I'm sure if hamster gives his permission for the beeb to show his crash then there shouldn't be a problem!

I've got a feeling that when he's better enough to return to the show, the other two will give him grief for it anyway

I completely agree with this suggestion, a look at how despite taking all the precautions possible, things can still go badly wrong in controlled cicumstances. Maybe also say it is also not big or clever to take silly risks on uncontrolled public roads because of what you think you see on tv. Should placate some of the leftie press at least.

Another point, (not sure if its already mentioned in previous threads) but JC has quite a low opinion of the H&S culture within industry. So much so that I recall in the last series, he was stood on the roof of that soon to be convertible espace wielding an angle grinder.

That's actually pretty dangerous. Can't remember what PPE he was wearing but probably not much.

What I'd like to see this time round, especially when covering the crash, is JC to make a full apology about his previously blase attutide and how a reasonable H&S culture is necessary to prevent harm to employees and customers everywhere. How without the necessary safety measures they probably would have all been going to a funeral.

here endeth today's sermon.

Doubt Clarkson would ever do that. He has a very low opinion of H&S for very good reason. It totally over the top (mainly due to the americans culture to sue)
and assumes no one has any common sense.

Im not saying he is right but if Clarkson and top gear was to go all health and saftey mad then it really wouldnt be the show it is today.
