Ashes to Ashes - Children In Need 2008 Special (HQ)

[SuperRichi1A]

Heehee, nice :)

I'm still not sure what to make of Ashes to Ashes. It's better in pretty much every way than Life on Mars, but feels so empty without Sam in. It's funny, Sam was in less than half the show overall, but I still think of him as the main character of both series.

[Sraaa97]

Hammond is soooo cute (: ♥

[jazmyn594]

this is great!!! soooo funny :3

[millwallfan111]

it's brill but they're trying to do the 80's but you see a brand new toyota FAIL :)

[samborghini]

Christopher, let the gerbil into the car

[abbafan50986]

The thing is, they talk about this show as if it wan't around in the 'ashes to ashes' era. But top gear was on during that time, even if it was significantly different to the show we know today...

[Mortthemoose]

ha ha.....hadn't seen this before.....Brilliant!

love Ashes to Ashes & love Top Gear!! 

[BlatantQuill2]

Heh. Best children in need special I've seen.

[Makuraiac]

BWAHAHAHAHAHA!

[Brezo18]

"Fine...Christopher, let the gerbil into the car."

Lol...just utter lol...

[appsgamesandmore]

Was Richard actually driving the Quattro.

[shawnhbkdx90]

@appsgamesandmore Yes...he can drive like that

[ellisqpr86]

would have been funnier if it were jeremy

[PalakikaK]

Thank you for posting this! Love Richard Hammond, Philip Glenister, and the entire Life on Mars and Ashes to Ashes cast! :) [Although I think it was purely coincidence... I couldn't help but think that it was fitting that Richard was choosen out of the TG cast to be in this special, since he had been in a coma... If I were ever to be in a coma, I'd hope that wherever my mind was, there would be a Gene, Chris, and Ray somewhere in it...].

[Tomboy243]

the only reason i clicked on this was because i knew richard hammond was here and if Gene Hunt was in the same thing with him...well...I just knew there'd be some rodent or height remarks haha

[Iantorchwood94]

So brilliant Chris wavin back !!! xD

[kieghacat]

LOVED IT!

it was hilarious when the top gear theme song started playing.... its got such a 'kids show' kinda tune that in this 'intense' scene it was just so outta place

damn I wish Richard Hammond would skid down my street like that, do a doughnut and park against the kurb, open the door and cast that pearly smile of his!

[Ed86Wood]

haha - that's awesome! I love top gear and ashes to ashes - brilliant!

[YeaYeaCanDo]

@UnitedStateOfApathy You Sir, Are A Cunt.

[cheekymancunian]

The person who disliked this vid should have his bum conkers stamped on by Gene Hunt

[cheekymancunian]

By the By can anyone tell me what car that is?

I think it might be an Audi Quattro but then again I could be wrong....

[kishanna09]

@cheekymancunian Audi S4 1981

What a wonderful car!

I love when Richard asks Quatro keys from Gene.... how dare is this guy! ahahah

[topgearfan188]

@cheekymancunian Exactly right, it is a Quattro

[cheekymancunian]

"Listen up Richie Rodent, anything happens to this motor and I will personally stamp on your bum conkers so hard you'll be singing 'Walking In The Air' higher than Anna Jones. Got it!"

hah hah! Gene Hunt certainly doesn't mince his words does he? lol

[SupremeDalek1000]

@cheekymancunian It's Aled Jones :)

[mikegot3legs]

the funny thing is richard hammond had that crazy accident

its pretty likely he spent a few days in the 80s at that point... well as far as he knew



[shugotenchi]

...except that it worked.

[24HourTeam]

thats the worst chat up line ever:

" how do you fancy meeting the Stig"

[NovemberRain1212]

lol, loved it. Made me giggle the whole way thorugh :D legend x

[CardClashersHub]

What would you call that noise at 0:28?

50TH COMMENT!

[1996WHITESHADOW]

@CardClashersHub a record being scratched lolz

[groovybabyrachy12]

I love Hammond!!!!

What a legend

[SeanBallaWaller1]

hamster!!!!!!

[phoenix1O1]

Whats the song at the begining ?

[JadesVidz]

Nah Keeley Hawes is way to tall for richard hammond...

[Thindza]

haha fuck you hamster!

[ollytennant]

Omg that's amazing XD

[TheThomasTT]

Cool

[IantosCoffeGirl]

I LOVE HAMSTEEEEEEEEEEER (L) XDDD

[jazzzyy13]

My two very favourite TV programmes, rolled into one. Amazing :)

This is so clever! I love it :)

Gene Hunt is priceless.

[CS7793]

"My name is Richard Hammond. I've just crashed a dragster and been taken back to 1981. I maybe one second away from life, or one second away from death. All I know is I have to keep fighting, fight to live, fight to see the Stig, fight...TO GET HOME"!

This is not meant to be offensive in anyway, its just a joke. And we know he survived anyway!

[jollywood999]

RIP Quattro :-(

[britstarfan]

Hampster vs Manc Lion

[CastellanKat]

I can't believe I never knew about this! Hamster X Ashes to Ashes = WIN!

[lambertslgorithm]

1981, i do apologise... im not an 'bat-eared listener'.

[lambertslgorithm]

its a shame the makers of this short clip couldnt even be bothered to move their cars from the shot. dont think a toyota yaris 'fm06 jvo' would have existed in 1983. yes, i am an 'eagle-eyed viewer', still good though, funny when hammond nearly falls out when opening passenger door.

[tiadaid]

@lambertslgorithm And ray's line about imagining a show about cars too...isn't top gear already on TV in the 1970s?

[MrORLY]

@tiadaid 77 onwards the original run was yeah

[HawthorneHeart]

that was the strangest thing seeing two of my favourite shows collide.. maybe it's best if they were kept apart..

[icebabe327]

Hunt v. Hamster, uh oh, look out, there's trouble!

[4evergalex]

HAHA :] XX

[ninjarandom]

EEEEE!!!!!! the instant i saw those boots, i knew it was Richard!!!!!! that isn't creepy, right? =)

[Swmystery]

"Sounds like my kind of fella."

Clarkson should meet Hunt if they ever do another of these, though I think the world might combust in the process...

[GrkFlyersFan]

The Guv, and the Hamster. What a combo!

[Redtinmug]

haha oh yeh XD

[ScoldingLion]

AH.

Get out of ashes to ashes hammond.

I can't deal with two men at a time...

[m3erw]

I am just reading richards hammonds book and he is talking how he is so excited about this "film". He talks about raising his left eyebrow and how he practised that sorry bit

[doctorbellacullen]

so funny

[xHallowxEvex]

major lol moment XD

[samborghini]
