Richard Hammond is an award winning British television presenter best known for the Top Gear programme, and his ability to make women fall at his feet. 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 and has a column in the daily mirror on fridays.
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, and certainly makes it much easier on the eye.
Richard has many female fans and some of these have formed fan site on the internet. In the past he has referred to himself as a 'driving god' during a piece about the bowler wildcat on 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.
Unfortunately for his female fans he is happily married with two children.
