Ministry of Defence To Deploy Four Thousand More Troops For Top Gear Special


The British Ministry of Defence has been forced to announce some unscheduled troop deployments for the troubled Top Gear special.

Trouble in Top Gear studios has accelerated in recent times, and with Jeremy Clarkson now eager to test the speed and ergonomics of the new Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 against the tactic nous of a full British Army regiment, the inevitable incease of troop numbers has been announced by Secretary for Defence, Jeff Hoon.

There are hopes that this announcement could lead to a quick withdrawal of the Army in the near future but these appear premature. Up to 12,000 British Army troops are stationed in or around the Top Gear studios in the Dunsfold Park Aerodrome in Surrey having been called in originally to oversee a segment about a race between a Mig Fighter Jet and a customised Ferarri 612 scaglietti.

British Forces have since maintained a presence in the area to moniter the ongoing situation and to keep peace between Jeremy Clarkson's and Richard Hammond's waring Top Gear Challenge factions.

Many MOD officials in Surrey privately concede that the troops maybe there for some time. They say they’ve been forced to shuffle the units from one part of the studio to another for at least two years because there haven’t been enough soldiers to deal simultaneously with Clarkson's big weaponry fetish, Hammond's eagerness to race a rocket, training studio hands to blow up caravans, and secure the race track, power lines, guarding studio guest infiltrators who profess to liking Mondeos, and keeping an eye on The Stig.

The MOD had no comment about a rumoured secert deployment being sent to monitor the latest series of Brainiac.
