Ahead of the return of Richard Hammond's Workshop, the presenter shares the view from his sofa – including his thoughts on the new Grand Tour trio and the dramatic moment he watched his daughter Izzy crash into a wall on TV at a Formula E event.
I recently moved house and I’m basically living in two rooms while I do the rest up. I have a beautiful view of The Blorenge [a hill in southeast Wales] but my TV is a small cheap thing I bought from the supermarket.
I persuaded a friend to watch The Blacklist, which I’ve seen multiple times, but it meant I could go through the whole series again. I’ve missed Red Reddington [a criminal played by James Spader].
I have. It was like watching my son… and I don’t have one! I have a cassette tape of my first ever live radio show from 1988 – I sound so tiny and terrified!
View oEmbed on the source websiteI set the business up long before the TV show. It was genuinely something I wanted to do, and it was only afterwards I thought it might work for telly. It’s an authentic business and is really hard work. Thank god I have people to help me, because who knew that 38 years of broadcasting experience does not turn somebody into a businessman?
Not really, no. We’ve always pursued careers outside of the shows we’ve done together. We’ve very lucky to have the chance to follow our passions and hobbies.
I wish them the very best. From what I can see, the audience is giving them space and time to find their own way of working, which is what they need. They have to find “their” show. Good luck to them.
A couple of years ago we were on a racetrack, she was driving and we were just grinning and chatting about cars and I asked her, “Where was this version of you when you were growing up when we could have done anything at all?” She said that as a girl back then it didn’t feel accessible. It took courage for her to step into this world, and thankfully, so have a number of her friends as engineers, drivers, presenters or commentators.
Absolutely. Recently I had friends over for a Sunday roast and we were all watching her race on the TV and saw her smash into a wall. I was very scared, but whatever our children do, there are dangers. You have to let them go and hope things don’t go wrong. I was just annoyed that it ruined a really good piece of beef – 80 quids’ worth of sirloin steak!

It’s a big emotive subject and nobody’s denying that we need to decarbonise transport, but how we do it is slightly more complicated than governments just telling everybody to go electric.
I’m gonna say the Batmobile because it was so exciting to look at – just breathtaking with its black fins and flames coming out the back.
