Oh dear...

... it seems that it is a bad month to be a risk-taker.

Top Gear's Richard Hammond is seriously ill in hospital after a crash in a rocket-powered car while filming for the programme.

The 36-year-old presenter was taken by air ambulance to Leeds General Infirmary's neurological unit.

A spokesman for the hospital said Mr Hammond was "stable".

Again, another man who, perversely, I quite like.

Get well soon, old boy. Or at least try not to die.
