Last Sunday was the day when Shilpa Shetty won the celebrity big brother show. There were millions of people watching the show live on channel 4. Me and Chandra were also among them.
But if you were thinking it was the most watched programme that night then you got it wrong. It was "Top Gear" which took the top spot. The TV show started telecasting again after Richard Hammond's recovery from a high speed jet powered car crash. He was driving at 288mph when the car crashed. We watched the show later when it was re-telecasted on BBC2.

If you have missed the show, you can watch the car crash footage through this BBC link http://news.bbc.co.uk/player/nol/newsid_6300000/newsid_6308500/6308515.stm?bw=bb&mp=rm
Richard Hammond could have achieved the highest official land speed record driving the jet-powered car. He had done a run just before the car crash where he reached 340mph but it will not become official until you have driven in the opposite direction and then the speed will be calculated. He met with the horrible accident due to tyre burst and could not make an official record. But he is really lucky to survive the crash and to be back to normal in just about 6 months.
Shilpa Shetty is lucky too to win the show. She is now a real celebrity in the UK giving interviews to TV channels and news papers. I also read she will be meeting the queen and prime minister, Tony Blair. For now, it looks like she is going to settle down in the UK as her career is getting a real boost here.
