Chimp Productions for Comedy Central
Richard Hammond is swapping cars for science experiments on this new Comedy Central series. Known for his love of popular science and spectacular TV stunts, Richard is in for a wild ride, experimenting with the nation’s favourite comedians.
There are two teams of celebrity guests, with team captains Victoria Coren Mitchell and Johnny Vegas, and Richard’s intellectual sidekick Ria Lina, ready and willing to be put to the test. Each week a team of celebrities and comics join the trio to consider scientific conundrums such as what is fastest – an athlete or a flame ripping along a trough of petrol? Expect fireballs, giggles galore and more than a glimpse of scientific silliness.
