BBC Special - Richard Hammond Meets Evel Knievel

In a one-off special film, shot in the summer of 2007, Top Gear host Richard Hammond fulfils his childhood dream of meeting Evel Knievel. It's some of the last footage shot of the legendary motorcycle stunt rider before he died at the end of November, aged 69.

Travelling to Butte, Montana, the town of Evel's birth, Hammond talks exclusively to Evel over a three-day spectacular, known as "Evel Knievel Days". The event is an extravaganza of Evel-inspired motorcycle stunts which attracts a throng of Evel's unique fans.

Hammond reminiscences with Evel about his death-defying feats and recollects the triumph, glory and pain. Together, they share insights into Evel's crashes and deliberate the precarious balance between life and death.

An American icon, Evel carved out a career that spanned the 1960s, 70s and 80s, and he was as much in the limelight for his death-defying stunts as he was for his bar brawling and womanising.

Hammond gains further insight into Evel's character by meeting his family and former staff, who offer a fresh perspective on his childhood hero. Hammond's desire to get to the core of a man he dreamed of emulating as a child not only highlights the extremes of Evel's personality, but also reveals how Evel was the greatest daredevil of his generation.

As Evel continues to enrapture his fans, what reflections does he offer on fame, America and the value of life?
