Garden Gear
On Friday night Sport Relief will be bursting on to your TV with a whole evening of rictus grinning jollity designed to raise lots of lovely cash for charity.
And Top Gear will be doing its bit as our boys attempt to bring back popular garden makeover show Ground Force, all in the name of a worthy cause.
You might remember Ground Force as the programme in which a bunch of blokes with regional accents pitched up at someone's house and covertly redesigned their shabby garden while they were out.
Well Jeremy, Richard and James decided it was high time it came back. After all, when it comes to gardening, how hard can it be?
As it turns out, slightly harder than you might imagine. Their location for this one-off special was the garden of a British sporting legend, and their self-nominated horticultural designer was one-time art school student Handy Hammond, who had come up with some lovely water colour plans to transform a featureless lawn into a restful haven in which a busy gold medallist could relax.
Unfortunately, Jeremy and James had rather different ideas about how the makeover should progress. Ones that mainly involved concrete, explosives, and a shed.
Nonetheless, with our sports star out of the house and genuinely unaware of what was in store, the boys knuckled down to transform the garden in just one day.
The results were, erm, dramatic. Find out what happens when three perma-arguing car blokes try their hand at gardening on BBC2 at 10pm this Friday.
It's worth it for the secret sports star's reaction alone.
haha, sounds good! I am sure someone will upload it.....please??
Hoping the Scene will rip it, if not, I've asked at least one person to record it as backup.Originally Posted by aaurora

No, it was canceled.

It's faster than waiting for James to deliver it in a Ford Ka.
Thought you'd like to see this pic from Zoo mag with the boys....
I am most enjoying the photo on the middle right
For those outside the UK, I've mirrored it:

awesome, I even laughedI cannot wait for the nice person to upload it when it airs
Thanks for that, much appreciated.
allright so tomorrow is the day then! (for some reason I read the date as 24/3 first...)
I can't wait to see whose garden they completely ruin...with explosives and sheds
You know, I can't help but think that other places just don't offer the service that we get here..
Proud to be a part of the community! Select one of your faster pigeons for the Australian delivery service!
I really hope they keep the sports person a secret, possibly giving some small hints throught the episode and only reveal them us at the same time the garden is revealled to them
I'm surprised nobody has commented on this, but I have watched it myself and it was definitely worth watching. It was in parts hilarious, but blatantly scripted in others as per usual. The BBQ segment was utterly hilarious as was the final reaction
