Richard Hammond’s Crash Course follows one of the United Kingdom’s favorite gearheads as he travels the United States to get behind the wheel of some massive, outlandish vehicles (a trash compactor, an airport fire responder, the tank above). In each episode, Hammond meets the people who operate the vehicles daily, trains in their use and then tries to prove his competency.
Crash Course debuts April 16 at 10 p.m. Eastern on BBC America.

The fact that it's called Crash Course still irks me a bit.
