Some of you are missing the point. It’s not Top Gear, it’s Top Gear Ground Force, and it’s a one-off special produced for the BBC’s annual Sport Relief charity event.

It’s the Top Gear team, doing the sort of challenge we’re used to seeing on Top Gear, but it’s a take on “Ground Force”, a garden makeover show, with the target of the makeover being a well known sporting celebrity (in Britain anyway).

If you’re expecting a show about automobiles you’re looking in the wrong place, if you’re looking for the dry humour you’d expect from the Top Gear team you’re in for plenty of laughs.

I’m a huge top gear fan, believe me, but this was just ridiculous. The only funny thing was when hamster toppled over. I mean sure top gear is always a bit over the top but they usually maintain a certain degree of integrity, but this was so over the top that it crossed the line and just kept going.

Sandy, this is a one-off “sketch” for a big televised charity event that lasts for many hours. It’s highly unlikely it will ever be shown anywhere else or ever again.

I don’t really watch 5th Gear but from what I can tell it’s more like what Top Gear was supposed to be; a program where they review mostly normal cars.

Top Gear has become a big-boys show that’s entirely about comedy and really expensive cars. It’s a different kettle of fish.

Forgive me if I’m being dumb here but I’m in Australia where we didn’t get this show and aren’t likely to. We get the series eventually but this Ground Force special isn’t looking like being shown. Some places I went to to watch have it as a two part special but all the links I saw supplied here look like a one off show of one episode. Is there a second part coming or was it all done in the one show? Thanks and thanks to those who supplied links – much appreciated by a deprived Aussie

@19

You miss the point, this is a prog about celebs (the Top Gear crew) raising money for a charity – it’s their celeb status which they are selling not their auto knowledge. Same thing happened with their ‘Top of the Pops’ show – they know nothing (James excepted) about music and probably even less about pop music (other than hating what their kids play- which is a parent thing)’

Always entertaining – long may they reign (And 5th Gear is a shadow of Top Gear)

If ANY of it wasn’t staged i’d be suprised! Top Gear has become a bit toooo scripted these days, but i’ll still watch it because it’s great

Oh and the mini digger…. absolutely hilarious!! Every single time
