from ITV News website (?)


The next series of Top Gear has been postponed until presenter Richard
Hammond has recovered.

The 36-year-old has been moved to a general ward after spending time in
intensive care recovering from a brain injury he suffered in a high-speed
accident while filming for the programme.

The series was due to begin on October 8.

A BBC statement read: "We would not think of finalising plans for the next
series without discussing it with everyone involved.

"When it is suitable, the team will do this and we will announce a new
transmission date."

The presenter is still at Leeds General Infirmary.

A hospital spokesman said: "He is continuing to do well."

There is that I suppose. But lest face it if they did pull the plug there
would be pleanty of other channels chomping at th ebit to take up a show in
the same format, same presenters...perhaps call it "Overdrive" or
"Warpdrive" or as no doubt Jeremy keeps reminding the Hammers "Can't Drive"

If the show was banned because the Hamster had a blow out, does that mean
all the soaps will be banned as well? I mean they have murders, kidnappings,
drugs, drinking etc etc etc and are watched by far more viewers?

I don't see anywhere that it was going to be banned - the Beeb just
said they may have to delay transmission and/or do some editing
to respect Mr. Hannonds families whishes should he have not recovered.

As he is seemingly going to recover well enough, there would appear
to be no problem, but the Beeb might as well let the rumour mill
keep running as it is all generating millions of pounds worth of
free programme advertising - even in these groups!

Oi! That's my job now (since my "proper" job was evaporated in a
reorganisation of the company a month ago). I'm quite popular with the
directors, as I use a fairly light touch in approaching H&S issues :p It
all depends on how you interpret phrases like "reasonably practicable" and
"foreseeable risk". It is quite possible to take a common-sense approach
and get the job done (like make sure people don't die if there is a fire)
without making everyone's life a misery. Mind you, there is immense scope
for jobsworthiness and killjoyativity if you wanted to be a complete arse.

I'll tie my trouser bottoms up just in case!

I dunno. jovial is sort of cheerful and stuff, ain't it, as a word?
