The Striker fire engine is the most powerful in the world. Based at Dallas Fort Worth Airport, Hammond undergoes some gruelling training to be a fireman.

Richard Hammond heads out to try out the dangle head processor, the feller bunchier, and the log loader in a bid to become a lumberjack.

Richard goes to Hollywood to tackle the coolest job in town — stuntman.

What better job is there for someone who loathes gridlock, than a gig as a New York City cabbie during Manhattan’s rush hour? Plus, Hamster attempts to get a few laughs.

The Hamster journeys to the dry Mojave Desert where he joins the rarefied air of the Rocket Scientist to help build and prepare a rocket. Then, it’s off to the picturesque and hilly city of San Francisco to attempt the work of a bike messenger.

An animal keeper trains Richard at an animal santuary in Hawaii, and Richard meets a snake wrangler.
