Revision as of 14:33, 29 April 2005 by 193.63.141.58 (talk)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)Richard Hammond is a British television presenter best known for the Top Gear programme. Earlier in his career he worked at Radio York and Radio Cumbria. He also presents "Brainiac: Science Abuse" on Sky One, Should I Worry About...? on BBC One and Time Commanders on BBC Two. He presented Crufts 2005. He presents a Saturday morning show on Radio Berkshire. His height, or lack of it, is the source of much whimsical banter between him and his fellow Yorkshireman, Jeremy Clarkson, on Top Gear. Clarkson displays many devil-may-care characteristics of Yorkshire muck-spreading folk, whereas Richard has probably grasped earlier in his life how this may not work in his favour, being the size he is. He is the more human side of Top Gear.
A former pupil of Ripon Grammar School, from 1987 to 1989 he attended Harrogate College of Art and Technology and was friends with author and academic Jonathan Baldwin.
