On today\\u2019s episode I\\u2019m joined by one of British TV\\u2019s most famous faces, Richard Hammond. Stepping into the spotlight over twenty years ago, Richard became one third of the iconic trio to front the BBC\'s motoring show, Top Gear, alongside James May and Jeremy Clarkson.

The show went on to become the world\'s most watched factual TV programme - as proven by the Guiness book of records - at its peak 350 million viewers around the world were tuning in each week. The show saw the trio travel all over the world to take on epic motoring challenges, which they\\u2019ve since continued on The Grand Tour on Amazon Prime, where the three embark on car related challenges across the world.

Now when I say these shows have taken Richard all over the world, I\\u2019m not exaggerating: the filmography includes Norway, Canada, Botswana, Vietnam, Chile, Argentina, Namibia, Iraq, Syria, Jordan, Israel, India, Madagascar, Mongolia - and that\\u2019s only half of them. Richard recounts some of these epic adventures on today\\u2019s episode, taking us from Canada to Botswana, to Bolivia, as well as to some much loved spots on British soil.
