Richard's birthday Mark Hammond - December 19, 1969. He was born in Shirley (Birmingham, England), from where in the mid-1980s together with his mother, father, brothers Nicholas and Andrew moved to Ripon, which in Northern Yorkshire. The city was famous for his permanent fairs, and Richard's father kept on one of the fair areas his own notarized bench.

After moving to Ripon Hammond, I went to study at Ripon Grammar School, and in 1987-1989, I additionally visited College of Art and Technologies in the directions of art photos and television. The beginning of professional activity is associated with the work on radio, such as Radio Cambria, Radio Cleveland, Newcastle Radio and Radio Lancashir (where he listened to participate in Top Gear).

In 2012, Richard married, and soon he had two daughters - Isabella and Willow. Family couple with children settled in Herefordshire, but she has its own apartment in London.

Career on Radio and Television

Now Hammond is widely known thanks to Braniac: Science Abuse (poles) and Top Gear, from which he left in March 2015, along with Jeremy Clarkson and Jamesem Meem because of Clarkson's scandal with the technical producer of the program. In addition to participating in Richard television shows, there are several permanent speakers in famous publications, including The Daily Mirror.

After many years of work on radio stations, Richard appeared in the updated version of the "Top Gir" in 2002. Soon, the other leading and fans of the show gave him a nickname hamster, which Hammond did not confirm himself, skillfully copying the mimicu's hamster when eating paper tables.

On September 20, 2006, at the sets of the next Top Gear series, Hammond got into a heavy accident during the Vampire Tests with Rolls-Royce Engine at the airfield of the Royal Army Air Force. Richard's strong brain injury received at a speed of 464 km / h, when the car had a tire, and it raised the oncoming stream into the air.

The presenter continued to be removed at the beginning of the 9th season Top Gear on January 28, 2007. He was met with a huge plate "Welcome" with dancing semi-naked women. Richard himself descended into the hall on the stairs to the burning fireworks and applause of the public. The video of the accident was shown on the show, newspaper publications are presented, but Hammond requested comrades in the future not to talk about this case on the air.

Subsequently, he confirmed his nickname twice. In one of the seventh season episodes, Richard ate a cardboard plate, imitating the facial expressions and behavior of a hamster.

His teeth were snow-white, Jeremy Clarkson often jerked him after that.

    Automotive accident on Dragster

    In accordance with some sources, he did not try to beat the British speed record on land, but these statements made by the owner of the Event Fire Services that was hired to ensure security, do not fully cause confidence. At the time of the accident, he was moving at a speed of 464 km / h (288 mph). The Northern Yorkshire police reported that they received a message from the fire service that the man would be clamped in a turned on a turned on the airfield "he was evacuated by a helicopter in Leeds Hospital, where he was examined by the specialists of the neurological department.

    A person who can cause not only admiration, but also a smile of dignity. Pet of the public and colleagues on the set. Likhach, an auto mechanic and just a guy who can deeply think and convey its conclusions to society. It is unlikely that modern television could exist without this frame - after all, few people already represent the "Top Gir" without the most charming leader on the Air Force 2.

    Little Richie from Birmingham

    Richard Hammond was not at the end of the 1960s in the late 1960s in the late 1960s (namely, December 19, 1969) in a large-scale British family, becoming another son of a young couple - Alan and Eili. It happened this is a happy event in Birmingham, the Kingdom of the United Kingdom. In addition to the boy, the married couple had two sons - Nicholas and Andrew.

    As a true Briton, Richard Hammond, whose age is now known to all his fans, grew by the boy restrained and the conservative - knees did not break down, did not get into the grief, but on the contrary - was inquisitive and discovered something new in the world of science and technology for himself.

    When the guy turned 16, the family decided to leave the hometown and move to a small market Gorodishko Ripon, which is located in Yokshire. For some time, young Richie visited the average grammatical school, but after the thrust for technologies still took over, and he entered College of Art and Technology. There the guy faced close friendship with one of the academics (Jonathan Baldwin). Among other things, Hammond also mastered the photographic courses.

    Happy artist star

    The path to universal recognition at Richie was not easy and very thorny. He began his star career a young hero as a radio friend. This work was easy to him, so I had to combine work at several stations at the same time. So, he remembered the listeners "Radio Newcastle", "Lancashire", "Kumbia", "Cleveland" and "York".

    The beginning of the two thousandths issued for Hammond very successful. First, he entered into a lawful marriage with his beloved woman (over time, the spouse gave him two daughters to him). Well, and secondly, the hero finally was able to break through the screens of the TVs of American residents.

    As they say, if the starry hour has come, then you just need to get enough luck for the tail and take everything you need from the opportunities provided. So came out. In the Top Gir, Richard Hammond came soon after he came as lead thematic programs on the Mensen End Motors channel. It was 2002.

    But ... not without falls

    Thanks to the participation of the key character in the legendary show, Richard Hammond (transmission with whose participation, not only every self-respecting American, but also any other resident of this planet) still achieved the most popular popularity and universal recognition. For several years now - Issue for the release, the plot behind the plot, a curious story for dangerous, and vice versa. Our hero received a funny nickname "Hamster" and constantly justified him in a matter - it will eat a cardboard box, and even generally spends a tube whitening paste for teeth for one sitting. He became a pet not only the public, but also his faithful comrades on the site.

    In September 2006, Richard became the tester of the legendary Vampire, trying to beat the world record. Testing took place on the former roads of the Royal Air Force. It so happened that Hammond did not cope with the management and became a member of a terrible catastrophe. At that time, no one was able to give guarantees - whether the leading alive will remain. But inapplying the fate of Richie still smoked and showed his white-white after tube a smile again.

    Life outside the Kulis

    Undoubtedly, it was created for the set - Richard Hammond (films with whose participation you are unlikely to see, because it is a showman to the brain of the bone), the pet for women, adolescents and the most ordinary motorists. Together with his wife and two daughters (Willow and Isabella), he lives in a decent house on the outskirts of Payford (Glochestershire, which is not far from Cheltenham).

    Outside the filming of the famous TV presenter is a beautiful amateur farmer who holds a small corner and sheep. In addition, the Hammond family has time to acquire several dogs and even horses. In general, Richie is a wonderful husband and father, outside the screen, he lives a calm and measured life.

    Richard Hammond: Scientific Stupidity

    By the time the audience was already accustomed to various ledents and slightly and slightly heard from them, the shocking ideas of the hero were not forced to wait long. Richard Hammond introduced his new development to the world - a dear bike, which was based on the model of the legendary car - Ferrari. He called his brainchild very intricate - Fahrradi Farfall FFX.

    As the developer himself said, the discovery will not ride at the speed of its prototype and does not imitate the roar of the motor, for example. But, in return to all this, the bike is exactly repeated by the form of a car, and besides, it is worth a fabulous money - several times more expensive than the original version.

    In general, as you already understood, the pedals twist will still have to. The invention weighs near the centner, which speaks of his uncomplicated filling, but at the same time the original box, as for a bicycle. "Engineering ideas" with Richard Hammond do not cease to amaze - this person, perhaps, will also show himself in the world of science.

    Richie about modern discoveries

    The developer of the shocking cycobil itself is very positive about the various kinds of novelties of science and technology relating in any way to the modest world of the motorist. Richie is happy to use satellite navigation, deferred engine warming up and many other pleasant trifles that are designed to make our life more comfortable.

    But Hammond has a unrealized dream. As he himself admits, he would really like to develop (well, or wait for the moment when this will make any other researcher) such a system that will prevent motorists about the impending danger: be it rushing due to turning truck or wild beasts running out Road in a few hundred meters.

    The showman does not deny: perhaps someone this idea will not like to do, but still he does not want to stop believing his bright dream.

    Motorists - who are they for Richie?

    Probably leading the transfer of the "Top Gir" must respect what it represents. That is how it is. Despite the fact that Richard Hammond is an expanded biker, who preferred to go to the track with a dash speed and each time risks his own life for the next dose of adrenaline, all the same motorists, he respects - from Mala to Great. For him, this category of people - as a separate nation, with their own laws, guards of order and even violators - well, where without them?

    In one of the gears, by the way, the presenter complained about the truckers. As he himself stated, with all his respect for them (and it seems to him that this feeling is mutually), sometimes it happens that representatives of this profession often consider themselves the right on the road. This opinion often arises due to their habits to brass, allegedly for the safety of all behind moving. Here is such an interesting observation of our hero. Richie himself in this regard is indignant, although the guys truckers respectively respects - after all, it is often how they give him a place to slip on his bike.

    A couple of lessons about life values \u200b\u200bfrom the star "Top Gir"

    Each fan of this legendary transmission is probably known that Richard Hammond is not only a wonderful tester, an auto mechanic and a racer, but also a storehouse of folk wisdoms. In his words, it is often possible to hear a deep subtext about our life values \u200b\u200band that each of us worries somewhere in the shower.

    I wonder what our hero would say, being right next to us or having the opportunity to give some parties to the day for the day, so to speak? Perhaps now we would hear something like: Do not refuse that you love, at any life, and if you have set yourself any goal, then be kind, do not turn on your way Dream, because by betraying her, you first change yourself.
