How would you feel about a trio of gardeners redecorating your bedroom, or a pair of interior designers being unleashed into your backyard? Well, that's exactly what happens in this surprisingly successful experiment of the the two shows "Ground Force" and "Changing Rooms". "GF" host Alan takes over the role of referee a la Carol of "CR". Tommy seems to have a hidden talent of transforming a much-need-of-help bedroom into a gorgeous living space, complete with Charlie's pressed flower wall hangings and a lively shade of orange. On the other hand, eclectic Lawrence, with Handy Andy in tow, work to create an original, if not a little unusual, garden. Then again, we shouldn't expect any less from Lawrence. A chandelier in the garden? It works under Lawrence's creativity, anyway.

Shown during BBC America's Labour Day marathon, this special shows the talent and creativity of both teams when taken out of their usual elements. If you are a fan of either show, this is one not to miss.

A very interesting role-reversal of the two shows, and "Ground Force" wins this one hands down. The garden made by "Lord Bowen" is tacky!! But then, if you have seen "Changing Rooms", you know his style of decorating!!

I was really surprised that the bedroom done by Tommy and Charlie was done quite well!! I expected them to have the difficult part, as they are always doing outdoor work on their show. But I love both of these shows, GF and CR very much, they are fun to watch!!
