The Hamster is presenting a new show for Discovery UK, which is also showing on The Science Channel and Amazon Prime ( Edit: Seems to be UK only ) , where he showcases large things (because he is smol). In the first episode, which premiered on !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! last week, he toured the !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! in Wolfsburg, and this week he was in Delaware to take part in a training mission for the C-5M Super Galaxy.

It’s absolutely worth a watch, even if you’ve seen other specials on the Galaxy. In addition to the actual mission, loading a small convoy of MRAPs and tankers on the plane, then taking off and refueling before returning, Richard also learns about maintaining the C-5, including a massive $8 million dollar gantry used to service the tail of the plane, finding bad panels n the skin (with a hammer!) and how the immense high-bypass engines that propel the giant cargo plane are built and tested.

Since the whole Amazon thing lost newness and weirdness. I’ve begun to notice some distinct changes.

Richard Hammond is turning into James May

James May is turning into Jeremy Clarkson

Jeremy Clarkson is turning into... not quite sure but not Hamster

Of these transformations May hulking into Clarkson is the most entertaining.
