The Grand Tour star Richard Hammond is no stranger to accidents on the set of his shows, and the new Scotland special saw him capsize his boat while filming the dramatic finale.
The last act of The Grand Tour Presents… Lochdown sees Richard, Jeremy Clarkson and James May back behind the wheel to make the perilous journey across a body of water on a makeshift jetty.
While James and Jeremy head over on their American muscle cars, Richard made his way in a boat on his own, only to accidentally capsize and leave the craft hurtling below the surface.
While Jeremy and James were left helpless with laughter, Richard was aggrieved that no-one attempted to jump in and save him – especially as he was ill-dressed for the conditions and had forgotten to pull the cord on his lifejacket.
Speaking to Metro.co.uk and other press, Richard said: ‘Long story short, I gave [the boat] a little bit of throttle, we started to rock and then James said “Go on, pull harder”. So I gave it all the throttle, and it flipped and sank.’
When asked what went through his mind at the time, Richard said: ‘There wasn’t time for a lot to go through. And my mind isn’t the quickest of devices at the best of times.’
