Would have been more exciting for the BBC to explain how they managed to roll him down the cliff by accident. *evil chuckle!

I have done. countless times in fact. Once on a push bike too. One of the best things i've ever done.

I've done it in a small coach too. Believe me it's scary looking over the edge and not being able to see any road, especially when there is a truck passing you on the inside.

Yeah, fairplay to him.

I think Hammond falling in a ditch was real though.

Happens all the time. We came across a lorry that had nearly tipped over.

I did wonder if the beeb had sent one of the camera cars to meet him.

Very entertaining though. Those drops looked terrifying.

BBC phonies. Still exciting mind.

Thats a good point binky, i didnt notice that at the time, he did say they pass on either side but not when your going wrong way.

Its all staged, makes it more entertaining to watch though. If they just let if flow it would be just like a michael palin travel show.
