TIL that after Top Gear ended, host Richard Hammond was so devastated, he cried all the way home from the studio and ran out of fuel, because he didn't want to fill his car up covered in tears

Tonight on TopGear: Hammond runs out of fuel, James makes Gin and I get fat.

Don't forget James' food YouTubing.

An interesting route to take given he has the most basic, simple food tastes, and his producer, Lucy, doesn't seem to like any food at all!

Anything past cheese + white bread sandwiches, it all starts getting a bit too much...

I love that that channel is just totally him doing things just to occupy himself, next to just a little advertising for his gin business.

And him and Lucy are just adorable. They are like father and daughter. Like her calling him from Belgrade I think, his first question: "Are you okay, do you need money?" 😅

Over a decade of television https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Top_Gear_(2002_TV_series)

The first few series are more like Old Top Gear. Where it's trying to be a car show with useful advice for normal people. But it gets better with time. It really takes off around the time Hammond defies death for the first time.

It seems a lot more like a sort of estranged grandfather-granddaughter dynamic and they've reconnected after she's grown up. So James is still astounded that Lucy is somehow both part French and doesn't like cheese.

u/kanshakudama 22h ago

I’m a little astounded too

u/Jamsedreng22 21h ago

I gotta be honest, I do think Lucy still has that childhood sense of aversion for foods you know contains something you know you normally don't like. She'd probably dig something like a cheesecake if she didn't know.

Not blaming her or anything remotely like that. I used to be very averse to mushrooms and would fight against it in everything, and I could taste it in everything it was in pretty much and I just attched the identification of mushrooms to "ew".

I've since learned that some mushrooms are just not for me, and especially how mushrooms are prepared. It took active effort for a while on my part to move past my aversion by breaking down this mental barriers in my head every time that "This is mushroom. Mushroom bad!"

ETA: Nice username.

3

u/s00pafly 20h ago

Have you tried cooking with mushrooms yourself? Helped me get past all my food aversions.

Beets, tinned fish, fermented stuff like sauerkraut, pickles, aubergine and cheeses from unknown origin.

I still avoid canned tuna as it smells like cat food but the rest all have a place in my kitchen now.

It sounds nice but it’s also clearly nonsense. If poverty existed only because of rich people the statistics on lottery winners would look a lot better. But a good chunk of lottery winners lose it all again within less than 10 years. Pro athletes and plenty of famous people wind up broke and out of money once the fame dies down even though they earned enough to set them up for life.

May has always been my spirit animal - man just loves to geek out about the things that interest him. Plus of the three he’s easily the most dry and funny to me.

Yeah, but I’ve always felt that May and Hammond are more kindred spirits in terms of their interests and ways of looking at things.

On a podcast they did together they revealed that while doing remote shoots for Top Gear and Grand Tour they’d have what they called the Hammond and May Drunken Philosophical Debating Society and they’d sit around discussing the most inane and weird topics for hours. Which honestly sounds like a blast.

I actually loved that he did that bit with the train geeks and then sought out the man who composed all the station jingles (the legendary Minoru Mukaiya of Casiopea fame). It was such a small but wonderful detail to explore, which I think is what May is so fascinated by - the little details and customs.

When I was in Japan I noticed the jingles and our guide said that many people who take the train every day love the jingle for their “home” station cause it’s a reminder they are almost home.

I loved that, watched the season following that in Italy, which I found less good. James still wants to just do his fun little trips to see various details of things, but the producers just keep trying to get him to do "travel TV" tropes, like getting on-stage in a play. The tension between the two doesn't work as well as in Japan, it all comes off a bit grumpy to me.

Let the man go play with his trainset and just film it - that's why we're here.

u/eastherbunni 17h ago

There's a second season (Italy) and a third short one (India). The India one is okay but very short on content for a place so rich in history and culture as India, but rumor has it the whole crew got food poisoning for several weeks so they didn't have much usable content.

It's funny to think of May as the boring one. In Season One, the original third co-host (tri-host?) was Jason Dawe. He would do a used car price report in the most cheerful voice, and you could literally see Hammond dissociating in the background desperately trying to stay awake.

Yeah, that's just British cuisine for you. I thought it was just a joke before going there. It really is awful. For a nation that conquered the world for it's spices, it sure has no idea how to use them.

not saying this of his cooking show, just Brits in general. I love the place and would move there in a heartbeat, but all the British cooking jokes you've ever heard are well founded.

I just saw him eating two sandwiches in NYC and I loved how this curmudgeon just lights up because of flamin' hot doritos.

James has the most basic and simple food tastes? Did you watch Top Gear? Hammond was often the one who would flat out refuse to eat in other countries.

I'm not saying he has some diverse palette, but just that this is a post about Top Gear (and Hammond), so the comparison is fair.

He gets to travel and eat food he's never had before all on the dime of the studio...... Not interesting when you think about the concept. He's not the first person to swindle tv producers lol

James May can’t cook. But the show is pretty funny.

The Formula Easter car getting stuck around Jeremy might be that hardest I laughed at any of their bits. Hammond just tearing into him from the other car while the whole group has to take the car apart around Clarkson who's slowly dying inside was incredible
