 Richard Hammond made a welcome return to the Jonathan Ross Show yesterday (21st Sept 2007) and revealed he forgot he was married following his horrific accident last year.
“I didn’t forget Mindy, I fancied her – thank God – I attempted to chat her up.” His wife, who has co-written his new book documenting life before and after the crash, confirms “he didn’t believe we were married! He said you’re lovely, but I’ve got to stop talking to you because I’ve got to go back to my wife, she’s French.” Hammond – who can’t remember his interview with Jonathan last year – says he’s still very much in recovery: “It was a big event, it’s a long old journey. You get to the end of each week and realise you weren’t actually better, and it goes on and on.  “Whole periods have just gone. 
“Whole periods have just gone. I had a 22-second memory, very confusing for weeks but I can daydream now, it’s all fixed. It was frightening, a real lesson for me. Damage can mend, it’s a big bowl of porridge that revives itself if you’re very lucky … which I was.” And on watching film of the accident: “The doctors wouldn’t let me look at it at first … it tallied with what I remembered. It was harder for Mindy to watch, she completely fell apart … it did stay with me, it’s very private.” |

 Via the BBC Richard has says "thanks" to all the well wishers around the world who sent messages:
"I'd just like to say a sincere thank you to everyone. "I'd just like to say a sincere thank you to everyone. If you send a 'get well soon' message to someone who's on the telly, it's easy to think it doesn't matter. But it DOES make it difference. When I was in hospital lying there all propped up, the cards and well-wishes I received really did make a huge difference. Thank you again very, very much."
