By day, Richard "[[Fan Nickname|The Hamster]]" Hammond presents [[Top Gear|television]] [[Brainiac: Science Abuse|programmes]] in which [[Stuff Blowing Up|things get blown up]] on [[Rule of Cool|flimsy pretexts]]. However, he also has a [[Secret Identity]] in which he likes to... um... [[Typecasting|blow things up on flimsy pretexts.]].
Richard Hammond's ''[[Blast Lab]]'' is a [[Science Show]] aimed at [[Saturday Morning Kids Show|children]] which attempts to [[Edutainment Show|teach]] various scientific theories by conducting [[Don't Try This At Home|dangerous experiments]] and [[Education Through Pyrotechnics|blowing stuff up]].
Line 8:
Every week a large haul of science-related prizes are set aside for [[Rival Science Teams|two competing teams]] who have to conduct experiments and answer science questions with help from the [[Studio Audience]]. The winning team get to take their prizes home. The losing team [[All or Nothing|don't]]. (You can probably guess [[Made of Explodium|what happens to ''their'' prizes]].)
In the opening credits of ''Blast Lab'', we learn that within the grounds of Hammond's [[Big Fancy House|home]] lies an old water mill that conceals the entrance to his secret [[Elaborate Underground Base|Blast Lab]] where he does [[Mad Scientist Laboratory|weird experiments]], grows strange new lifeforms in a tank of [[Covered in Gunge|toxic waste]] and creates [[Homemade Inventions|bizarre machines]] all in the name of [[For Science!|science]]!
He is assisted by his [[Never Mess with Granny|Ninja Nan]], who guards the lab, and a [[Stern Teacher|science teacher]] from his schooldays whom he has [[Time Travel|brought from the past]] to [[Gadgeteer Genius|help with his experiments]], but who is currently stuck in the body of a [[Older Than They Look|ten-year-old]] after the [[Time Machine]] [[Hilarity Ensues|malfunctioned]]. Also assisting is [[Non-Human Sidekick|Oliver]] (or should we say [[Vanity License Plate|OLIV3R]]?), an [[Cool Car|Opel Kadett]] who [[Promotion to Opening Titles|started out as a minor character]] on Hammond's other show ''[[Top Gear]]''. There are also an apparently infinite number of [[Nominal Importance|nameless]], [[The Voiceless|mute]], [[Sorting Algorithm of Mortality|expendable]] henchpeople known as [[Bumbling Sidekick|The Lab Rats]].
Speculation whether this show was originally supposed to be an episode of MTV's ''[[Cribs]]'' is best confined to [[Wild Mass Guessing]].
Line 27:
* [[Bumbling Sidekick]]: The Lab Rats.
* [[Cool Car]]: Oliver.
* [[Cow Tools]]
* [[Covered in Gunge]]: Every episode somehow involves the toxic tank.
