Leaves You Hungering For More, March 22, 2004
This review is from: The Best of Ground Force - Garden Rescues (DVD)
The BBC television series Ground Force is a whole lot more than a gardening show. Like Trading Spaces, the team has 48 hours to complete their transformation, usually turning a weedy back garden into a thing of beauty in the space of 48 hours. In between this miraculous accomplishment, there is much banter, the occasional argument, and even a rare, full-blown snit. The team is marvelous, the projects imaginative, and the results always spectacular. It's a wonderful show, much more interesting than the subject implies. Great views of Britain abound as well. However, this DVD just whets the appetite for more. DVD releases by season would be much appreciated!

Only Four Stars Because..., March 4, 2006
This review is from: The Best of Ground Force - Garden Rescues (DVD)
...a "Best Of" DVD is not enough!!! The Ground Force team is amazing -- and especially so during the Titchmarsh years. I would love to sit and watch these episodes over and over again. Alan, Charlie, and Tommy are not only garden makeover geniuses, but they've winkled their way into the hearts of BBC America fans. Please, please, please release Ground Force in season by season compilations!

Bust a Gut Laughing!, June 25, 2009
This review is from: The Best of Ground Force - Garden Rescues (DVD)
This is a must for anyone who loved the Ground Force team of characters. As a Brit now living in the US I craved the famous Britsh humor that the Ground Force team delivers in spades (excuse the pun!).
This DVD is a comprehensive compilation of the team funny moments including many clips that never made it to final cuts of the shows. Interspersed with the best moments clips is the last episode that Titchmarsh hosted. Attention is also given to each of the team members with equal fondness. Including each members favorite gardens.
This is a perfect DVD if you want to reminisce. However if you are looking for episodes of gardening before and afters this is not the DVD for you. Saying that it gave me just what I wanted, a trip down memory lane! This DVD is just a hair under two hours of great entertainment!
Enjoy
