So many great episodes over the years this one is just brilliant probably my favourite and the one when they go to Cornwall Jeremy is driving the white citreron. James mays Air balloon
He changed for the better in the past 3 years tbh. Started to switch on solar panel house and electric car, used bicycle for going around the town, becoming omnifore, and overall being more chill
What this special unintentionally proves is that Too Gear was never really a car show. It was a show about three boys doing crazy shit. This has nothing to so with cars and yet it still feels like Top Gear. At its height TG wasn’t just a great car show, it was great TV full stop.
That's why i enjoyed it more what they do in this special, Vietnam, Seamen, or building bridge in Burma. And it isn't car related. They're just entertaining to watch
The density of comedy in these 33 minutes is absolutely amazing. It's like classic Monty Python in how rapid-fire the absurdity is. There's *so much* going on in the background sometimes that's just as funny as the foreground banter: Hammond pissing on a tree, the Pole running around on fire, Hammond swinging the bucket arm of the "Stupid Toy Digger" around in a circle before driving into the ditch and tipping over, and on and on. There's a moment where Hammond is showing off the jet engine grill where the look on May and Clarkson's faces so clearly says, "what the hell are we actually doing" ... just kills me every time. As someone said earlier in the comments: Top Gear worked not because it was car porn, but because of the incredible chemistry of these three.
I've watched so many of the top gears but never seen this. Seeing the pole run into shot with the music on fire had me howling. Perfect timing and just unexpected. Also to touch on your comment about chemistry, that's exactly why the reincarnations of top gear haven't come close to the highs they once were and why the grand tour still had alot of followers
Those chickens spinning on that rotisserie at 5,000 RPM with the wings straight out until they explode from pulling too many G’s never gets old. And then, of course, the shed catches fire. 😂😂😂
Richard Porter (the lead writer) said that it’s because Andy Wilman gave him £100 to take his family out to dinner). That’s why Steve suddenly cheers up.
@@jkk45 I highly doubt a five gold medal olympic rower most succesful man in his sport, who has many millions in the bank, would be impressed with 100 quid.
this was the best thing on tv. it all went to shit unfortunately, as everything does, but for a good ten years it was the freshest, funniest programme out there.
yeah top gear's golden years were 2003-2008. the last good episode was the vietnam special in summer '08. everything after that went downhill, hard and fast.
11:52 I was so busy paying attention to Clarkson's rambling on the fountain pipes that when Hammond's tiny digger fell lopsided into the ditch he dug I bursted out laughing!
Hard to believe that Sir Steve Redgrave's daughter is all grown up today, following in her father's footsteps and taking the gold as an Olympic Rower herself, just like her father did before. I can only wish her the best of luck all round.
According to Redgrave's autobiography and accounts afterwards, he didn't find it funny at all, in fact he almost walked out he was that enraged. They managed to get him to come back and finish filming after talking to his wife.
Steve Redgrave likes to be left alone, and really doesn't like people taking the piss. See the 2012 Olympics when he got angry with John Inverdale for trying to steal the first interview with an athlete from their home broadcaster.
This is no doubt one of the best bit of tv entertainment i've ever seen.I'm watching this at least once a year for the last 15 years,and i still find it hilarious
I agree it's a great piece of comedy entertainment, but I feel I must correct you; *13 years. Unless you have a time machine and you went 2 years into the future, in that case can I borrow it? I'd love to have some time travel fun.
This is how I discovered Top Gear, I was shown this by my friend and laughed my ass off without realizing it was a car show! I couldn’t get these 3 out of my head - back when top gear was on Netflix, I binged it. 12 years later for me and they’re still just so amazing, hilarious, and just proper good presenters
People say that "It's better to be a warrior in a garden than a gardener in a war", yet with the destruction that basic gardening brings (as these three blokes have shown), I shudder in fear of what a gardener in a war can actually do.
In an alternate universe beloved Ground Force presenters Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May attempt to revive Top Gear for a one off Sport relief special titled Ground Top Force Gear.
5:34 What's terrifying about that little puff of smoke is it proves that Jeremy Clarkson legitimately had a loaded shotgun to shoot plants, twigs and tape measures with.
That's why On the Clarkson`s Farm is a hit with fans, whoever had the idea of creating this gardening program already knew about the potential of these three stooges.
"Build...BUILD THE SHED" "Is this your tape measure?" (Shoots tape measure) "Where's the water feature?" "Look you've got to walk miles to get to the seat..." "I am not doing any hoeing..." Oh boy Jeremy is quite a handful...
This is truly the peak of British TV in every way. It’s iconic on so many levels. The amount of quotable one liners are just endless. Love them or hate them, the world will be a truly different place when these 3 eventually leave us
Lol this are the most british guys ever and they can do a show about anything and it will be funny, just put them in front of the camera and that chemistry they have will do the rest. Love them.

I haven't seen this since it first went out, and had completely forgotten about it until seeing it advertised somewhere earlier. Absolutely hilarious!!
The fact that these 3 can do a mundane thing like gardening and still be very entertaining just shows how secondary the cars were on Top Gear They were just a common interest for these blokes And BBC thought that they could replace them
This is the greatest thing I've ever seen. Andy Wilman, the producer of Top Gear is one of the 'Poles'
Along with Richard Porter (script editor & Mr. Sniff petrol) and Nick Dalton a researcher (Cambridge educated). Anyone know any of the others?
I just noticed that bruhhhhh

for short. They can present a show about anything and it's still be as entertaining

Not just swinging it around in circles, swinging the bucket dangerously close to the glass greenhouse and poles working next to it 🤣🤣

@@bobbobert9379and the "poles" are the producer, andy wilman and the script writer, (forgot his name) and others from the production side

This is one of the greatest segments they ever produced. Arguably THE greatest. And it technically isn’t even Top Gear.
"Have you got any syphilis"- Jeremy Clarkson
Judging by the smoke from that spent cartridge he really did shoot those plants! I love Jeremy.
How could that NOT hurt their ears when they're right next to him?!
@@largol33t1 they likely had ear pro
Notice how it cuts to a close up when he takes the shot. It’s Orchestrated

That had me dying with laughter.
this was the best thing on tv. it all went to shit unfortunately, as everything does, but for a good ten years it was the freshest, funniest programme out there.
The new top gear is pretty decent but no where near compares to this era of top gear
yeah top gear's golden years were 2003-2008. the last good episode was the vietnam special in summer '08. everything after that went downhill, hard and fast.
If I'm not mistaken Top Gear is the most watched TV show in the world.
Top gear or groundforce?👅
There’s “The Grand Tour” on that Amazon streaming service, and the cast is these three.
The wikipedia entry for this literally says, "Naturally, disaster ensues." in the description.

That's because Redgrave had a shed with stuff in it
@@lyanlegolmuth5005 But whos gonna give her own shed to put stuff in? A few more gold medals and shes gonna need her own top gear shed special!
Bad news, Samantha Redgrave is in fact not related to Sir Steven Redgrave.
Too bad she probably won’t get her lawned annihilated by 3 old car-loving chucklefucks like her father.
Perhaps the Top Ground Gear Force may still have inspired her to do gardening. I mean, how hard could it be?
Finally a high quality version
“What time is this program on? Is it ten o’clock?”
“Yes.”
“Is it ten o’clock on BBC2?”

It's the best thing ever
Like father and son
4:52. James gets me every time.
14:00 Wasn't expecting uncensored. Very glad it is.
Is shit normally censored? Pathetic
It was aired past 10pm so it was fine 😂
13:55 "But it looks... SHIT!!" I say this with the exact same enthusiasm on a daily basis.
8:35 cracks me up flattening the little child's bike and trying to fix it 🤣
18:40 to 19:20 one of james greatest rants 😂 pure perfection you can't help but relate to him if u was working with them two on a project
15:09-15:20. Quite possibly Andy Wilman’s expression at every production meeting
when James interjects with technical or historical trivia.
"You can't prune a tree with a Shotgun" is one of my favorite lines Hammond has ever said
“-Yes you can! 😊”
This is the funniest top gear associated thing i have ever watched

I just caught that too. I'd always assumed it was edited to make it seem like he'd fired it but nope, there is indeed smoke 😆
of course he had a loaded gun. this is top gear dude.
he owns weapons and is trained well !

Poles are famously often made of wood so we catch fire easily, as you kindly pointed out. Luckily we have extremely good firefighters in Poland 🇵🇱🚒
Never noticed Producder Andy Wilman playing one of the poles before.
If ever there was proof that Top Gear was about these 3 gents and not cars, this is it
But it was about cars, when you like cars the show is even better

The fact that these 3 can do a mundane thing like gardening and still be very entertaining just shows how secondary the cars were on Top Gear
