He'll recover. And it is very good to the Top Gear popularity. Audience numbers will rocket skyhigh.

So, get well hamster and stop fooling around.

I don't know if people outside the UK can watch the BBC news video casts? But if you can, they do keep updating their reports.

He is currently 'stable'.


Is there any way we can get a message of condolence through to him??

I suppose this might be as near as we can get:

No no. Don't say that! Condolence is bad. It means "an expression of sympathy, especially on the occasion of a death "

I know you mean Good man! :cry: Todays news so saddening me.

Hamester.... Hope to see you on TopGear 4th Oct mate! Well and recovered

Sadly he does indeed have a brain injury, and to be honest if he cant present on TG again then I dont think the show should continue without him.
