Our thoughts are with you and your family at this awful time, Richard, but we’re cheered by the news that you’re showing signs of recovery & that your fabulous sense of humour is still intact!
Sunday nights wouldn’t be the same without Top Gear & we’re keeping everything crossed that the powers that be don’t feel the need to make some moralistic statement by banning the show because of health & safety issues. There’d be total uproar from millions of fans if they did!
However, when you do return to the show, you realise that you’ll be a sucker for punishment don’t you?…..not because of the fast cars, but because of the stick you’re gonna get from Jeremy & James! Don’t let that stop you though, TG wouldn’t be the same without you!
We love you Richard & can’t wait to see you back on our screens very soon. Wishing you a FULL and speedy recovery.
With love & best wishes to you & your family,

Yo dude, if you had you teeth done, than surely you’ll get through this!!! Top gear & Top gear extra just will not be same without you. “General Power” and “Captain Slow” needs the HAMSTER, and we need the three of you! our three “road-ka-teers”. Get well soon Hamster, best wishes to you and your family, Power Clarkson, Slow May and the rest of the Top gear team.
