Pretty funny.

Basically, Ground Force was a T.V. show in the UK where a group of gardeners would go to someone's garden and do it up while the person was away.

Now, the Top Gear presenters have given it a go on Sir Steve Redgrave's garden, with humourous results.

Obviously scripted, but hilarious none the less

 

Watched part of it on TV, mildly amusing but not brilliant. The idea of using a bomb to get rid of a rockery is brilliant however...

 

Saw this when it was broadcast live, and I have to admit that it had me in stitches - particularly the shed fiasco. One of the better Top Gear non-car-related specials they have done imo.

The presenting team makes it work though. Clarkson, May and Hammond are probably the most fluid group of presenters around at the moment. They just work together so well.

 

The barbeque with the jet engine was my favourite part. And though most is scripted, I think some is genuine, like Redgrave's reaction.

 

Haha, I think this is excellent. Top Gear ftw.

 

Yeah, you could tell bits were scripted, like when Hammond's boots got 'cemented in' from only supposedly walking across the cement. But I thought Redgrave's reaction was genuine too, and I thought that some of May's reaction to the shed being demolished was too. Maybe they told him about the first time, but I am not so sure they did the others.

There are definately points though where, if they knew, they covered it very well.
