Talk Morgan Forums Community The Malvern Arms Flintoff Crash

I recall hearing 30 mph mentioned by someone sensible.

I've just looked up the original reports and they state that the speed was 22mph....
More likely I should think...?

Yes I agree with you, at anything approaching 50 if it went over it would have broken his neck but that’s journo’s for you.

To tip over an M3W at 22mph you would almost have to do it on purpose or have a gross steering or suspension failure. Are you sure it wasn't 122mph?

I'm not sure at any level. I just find it hard to believe the car would look like it does and the driver not be dead if it was anything like 100mph.....
Weren't there supposed to be two people in it?

I'm of the same opinion regarding the manner of driving being 'tw@t'.....!
TG was an accident/death waiting to happen for years, Richard Hammond cheated death a couple of times and it was only a matter of time before someone else got injured.

In the current age of everything requiring a risk assessment and health and safety being involved in every process, it's amazing that in an organisation the size of the BBC that it happened at all....!

I presume that the licence payers have have footed the compensation bill.

"However, the deal will not be funded by the licence fee as BBC Studios is the broadcaster's commercial arm."

The filing history at Companies House shows that BBC Studios made a profit of £72.9M in the year ended 31 March 2024 (down from £175.8M in 2023).

That's a result then.........😆

Mrs M found this the other day

Looks like the NDA lawyers will be twitching



We don't get Disney TV, anyone know if it will end up on something less 'pay per view' ?

A trailer for the programme is on YouTube.



I may be proved wrong, but I strongly suspect that nothing will be revealed that we don't already know.
