Richard Hammond: Rocket Scientist + Bike Messenger! CRASH COURSE New Dec 10 BBC America

“What I do generally can’t be considered Rocket Science, but for my next crash course, it is… I’m slightly worried.”

Don’t miss the season finale of RICHARD HAMMOND’S CRASH COURSE *** Monday Dec 10 at 10/9c *** only on BBC America.

This week, Richard journeys to the dry Mojave Desert where he joins the rarefied air of the Rocket Scientist to help build and prepare a rocket for a 40,000 foot launch.

Then, he’s off to the picturesque and hilly city of San Francisco… to attempt the work of a bike messenger: “Downhill is good, downhill I’m liking…”

He’ll pedal up a serious challenge for any messenger in any form of conveyance — handling a keg of beer…on a bike.

He’s back in America… and out of his comfort zone!

In this season of RICHARD HAMMOND’S CRASH COURSE, HAMMOND will immerse himself in uniquely American — and often terrifying! — vocations. In each episode, he’ll tackle new challenges, with less than five days to master each job.

Can he conquer his fear of heights and jump from the top of a bridge as a Hollywood stuntman? Will he lose his grip (and suffer a venomous bite) when he takes on the role of a snake wrangler? From the true grit of a Texas cattle ranch to driving a taxi in New York City, you never know what Richard will tackle next!

Don’t miss as Richard gets to be an American Bullfighter, Barber, Hollywood Stuntman, New York Cab Driver, Pro Paddle Boarder, Cattle Rancher, Bike Messenger, Pit Crew Guy, Stand-up Comedian, Exotic Animal Keeper, “Rocket Scientist” and Snake Wrangler.
