Having worked with Richard whilst he was a presenter at Granada TV, I know that he is a fighter and a thoroughly decent chap to boot. If anyone can recover from this horrific and tragic accident, he can.
I wish him (and his wife and kids) all the best in the world and I know (coming from Leeds as I do) that he is in the best place for his particular injuries.
I don't even want to contemplate anything other than a full recovery. Perhaps it would be best to leave all the dangerous stuff for the Stig from now on.
