Did anyone watch the Top Gear Ground Force thing on Friday?
Um. I mean clearly there was no way it could actually work (the actual Ground Force team who know what they're doing and have bought plants and things in advance probably wouldn't have taken on a garden that size in one day) but oh my god, they are all insane. Jeremy is the most insane (might have known he would garden with a shotgun. Who the hell let him have a gun license?) but Richard is quite insane too (a barbecue made of a jet engine!) Even James is slighly insane in the obsessive-compulsive sense.
The only thing James did was build a shed and they destroyed it three times!
Hammond fell in a hole with a baby JCB! And got stuck in concrete and Clarkson had to pull him out!
And Jeremy blowing up a rockery!
And sweet god the water feature!
The camera pan at the end of the day over what had been a boring lawn and was now scarred, flooded, pitted, half concreted, covered in diggers, and on fire, was... quite something.
SO ADORABLE. For versions of adorable that include "stay a really, really long way away from me with your explosives, you nutcases."
I think it is a good thing they have to talk about cars some of the time in the actual show. If it was like this all the time, the world would have been reduced to smoking rubble in a fortnight.
