Viewers Left Furious After Top Gear Garden Stunt

Sport Relief Fury Over Clarkson's Garden Stunt
OUTRAGED viewers called the BBC after Sir Steve Redgrave had his beloved garden trashed by Jeremy Clarkson's Top Gear team.
They received 65 complaints following the Ground Force prank.
Viewers were treated to the spectacle of:
Clarkson firing at flowerbeds and trees with his shotgun.
Richard Hammond building a barbecue using jet engines and setting a garden shed alight.
Giant diggers churning up yards of Sir Steve's pristine lawn.
Clarkson blowing up a flowerbed with dynamite, pouring concrete on the lawn and churning it up with a huge digger.
A mini digger being dropped into a massive hole they had dug in his lawn.
Sir Steve arrived with a look of utter horror on his face. are
And when Clarkson emerged from the side of the house, the Olympic gold rowing medallist said, "I know who you are", before storming into the house.
Clarkson followed him in to placate him and the pair finally emerged with Sir Steve grinning through gritted teeth.
But his ordeal wasn't over.
Clarkson had fitted an industrial strength jet to a cheap fountain and when he pressed a button thousands of gallons of water shot up, firing the head of the fountain into the middle of a glass greenhouse, completely wrecking it.
A BBC spokeswoman said: "We did have the permission of Sir Steve's wife Lady Ann to film it and the garden is being restored to its former glory."
By the way for all you Top Gear fans who may have missed this mayhem when it was shown. BBC2 are repeating it tommorrow night (easter monday) at 10pm
