Hamster continues to progress. Look at that, an actual title!

Good news on Richard Hammond's condition: he's been moved from intensive care into a high-dependency ward, and the doctors say he's making 'satisfactory progress'. His condition is now considered 'stable', rather than 'serious but stable'. (Have a source.)

Also, there have been some lovely and reassuring statements from his co-presenters:

From Jeremy:
“I was being nice to him for a change.
“But I wasn’t getting any reaction. He probably thought ‘That sounds like Clarkson but it can’t be — he’s saying nice things’.
“He was lying peacefully with a black eye but didn’t react so I tried something else.
“I said: ‘The reason you’re here is because you’re a crap driver’. He then smiled at me.
“It was an amazing moment, very moving.”


From James:
"He tried to sit up when I came in and he gave me a sort of grin, which I have to say was a very uplifting moment for me," he said. "I had a bit of an unmanly moment at that point.
"I was chuffed to see him and although he's muttering, he seems much like the irritating little shit I know and love. Even when he can't say much, he seemed to make as much sense as he does when he can talk normally."


They're such a wonderful team. I am incredibly touched.

Yes, I know that I've been making rather a lot of entries about this, but I'm worried about him and so are you. Admit it. Everyone in the world loves Richard Hammond and you know it.

I LOVE them. I do. And thank you so much for doing all these updates. They are lovely and make me feel a bit better and get not quite so anxious when I see a scary headline.
