Richard Hammond, television extraordinaire

Just weeks after the tragic death of Steve Irwin, another fine risk taker has succumbed to the rigors of television entertainment. Richard Hammond, a truly great presenter amongst television legends was involved in a high speed crash whilst trying to beat the land speed record in a jet-powered car. He suffered a "significant" brain injury when he crashed but is said to be making a steady recovery.

I have a lot of respect for Top Gear and those who make it what it is, I have absolutely no interest in cars and yet am thoroughly entertained by the Top Gear team describing and displaying the new cars out each week in different and exciting ways. To enjoy watching a programme in which you have no interest in the subject simply proves how great the show is. I hope Mr Hammond makes a full recovery, good luck old chap!! You're a star!

Steve Irwin

We all thought it, we all feared it, we all assumed it....the day finally came...

For many he was a hero, for many he was an icon, for many he summed up everything we hate about the aussies...but there's no denying it, he made some cracking TV shows! I probably only saw a few of them (one being yesterday (Sunday) morning, ITV) and you just couldn't help being enthusiastic about his antics. When youre next in the swamps of Austrailia and you realise you are sharing it with a croc, what would you do...who ya gonna call?? That's the problem! Many more swamp goers will die and that's when the true tragedy of his death will be realised.

Rest In Peace Steve! Your "crikey" will live on in Home & Away...
