I love how sincere Richard is about being happy that he's settling down nicely into a "normal" lifestyle. It really is quite wholesome, and I really hope he and all the lads at the workshop have great success with the business!

[@nagasako7]

He's had a storybook life. Most of my life he's been filming abroad or TG for BBC. The fact of commuting being something he hasn't done in decades.. like Bilbo Baggins returning to shire.

I just love the irony: Basically May has become Clarkson, Clarkson has become Hammond and Hammond has become May. After all these years as their characters, the guy that used to say he doesn't do manual labour has a farming show, the guy that used to be the hands on countryside bloke has a workshop for restoring old cars and the meticulous technical enthusiast of the bunch has left all of it behind and goes travelling.

[@echo1180]

Fun fact tho May actually doesn’t like older cars very much at all.

The three of them together is what makes it special.

[@nathangarrett9868]

These episodes really show how real this is, showing how Mindy was more worried about the dog is a situation everyone can relate to. The whole show is a breath of fresh air just like clarksons farm. Showing you the real struggles that even rich and famous people have.

[@Dranreb865]

Their struggles will only last for such a short time cos they can solve most of their struggles with money. Not all, but most

[@heliogt1961]

to think that a man. who has driven such amazing cars, visiting such amazing places and having made so much entertaining stuff can be happy about a normal 9 to 5er and coming home to wife and kids just tells me how down to earth this man richard hammond is. a lot of people would have wanted your life to live. but you showed us what real life should be.

[@mangoshake]

25 years of logistical nightmares of air travel and TV production does that to a man, regardless of how much you earn. It probably also gets overwhelming just almost never being in familiar territory.

[@Tokyodrift5000]

I wouldn't call that a 'normal' 9 to 5 though. They did all the work whilst he just popped in for a brew and picked a car up 😂

[@TaySwiftFan94]

I heard a story that about 10-15 years ago he was coming back for his daughter’s birthday but got stuck in traffic, and just got out of his Porsche and ran home to make it on time! Bless! (No idea if it’s true but he can afford to have to the car towed or left it on the side of the road!)

Big FACTS

[@voicetest6019]

Its fascinating to see commuting from the other side of the lens. Always think of how much fun it would be to have the life Hammond got to live on "the other show" and GT, but here he is waxing poetic about being able to have his wife visit him at work and then drive home.

[@winterassassin22]

I think when your younger and getting to go all over the world shooting and doing something you love it is amazing. But after years and years of doing it there is probably something new and romantic to him about commuting to the shop every day

[@db192]

I love seeing Richard walking around like a lost puppy in his own workshop! 😂

[@marcjudge680]

Richard was totally lost..didn't know which corner or who to speak to.. Trying to find himself..must be difficult in the yrs of being away. Mindy looks a strong character. And we know who waring the trousers. Must be difficult for Mindy and the children to accept Richard being at home ..Lovely home and part of England. Best wishes to all concerned

[@Levi-qb2uf]

A bit off topic but what a lucky lucky man to have a wife like that supporting him with his hobby, everytime you see him in this video talking about her you can see that in his expressions and his voice that he genuinely loves her.

Hammond's workshop is one of the best shows I've seen for cars and realism. It's a great show and I hope for many more seasons as the guys do such great work. Finding this channel has been an extension of the show like another series and loving all the work on the cars and especially when they go to the workshop. I think it's class to have May and The Stig on the episodes too which really bring this channel and series even more to life. Fantastic set up. Keep them coming. Really enjoyed the MG episode featuring the stig

[@DesertWolf392]

Great seeing Richard so calm and relaxed. He does deserve it, after almost 20 years of doing a vehicle related show. Yes he has his workshop show and Grand Tour but his downtime is needed. And his using it to it's full extent

Thanks Richard. Nice to see you so happy, even post Top Gear, and the ocasional Grand Tour.

When I came of age I had so much pleasure working on my car the rest of my families when things break. Maybe someday I can afford to work on an antique. I feel like he’s a very distant uncle at this point. But I’m really happy for him in this show that he can finally do work at home… and every once in a while do a GT special for us.

I love the small comments on the truck and the fact that Richard wants one now (or always has and is just now going to pull the trigger on it) because its part of all these little desires now being fulfilled as part of a larger one. Be practical but have fun. Embrace the chaos and the change and lean into it!
