    :smile: It's just come to my notice that the BBC are starting a new gardening programme called The A-Z of TV Gardening.
    25..... 45min episodes starting on Sun Feb 3rd......10am.
    Fronted by weather presenter Carol Kirkwood,it's an alphabetical journey through the BBC's archive of gardening programmes containing all our favourite gardeners Alan,Monty,Alys ,Toby,Joe and Rachel etc.
    You kept that quiet.....................:smile:

            According to the Amateur Gardening Magazine the BBC went to all the trouble of commissioning the new program and didn't bother to even publicise it...........idiots!!!:snork:

              I saw the first episode in a hotel down in the west country just after Christmas. It was very good. It's old clips from past BBC programmes, but it was presented in a very interesting way. If only I had a TV I could watch the rest of them.

                Yes, iplayer is a good way to watch it, having only seen one episode there were parts of it that didn't interest me, on iplayer I could fast forward.

                Iplayer has each episode available (unusually) for 2 months. So, you can visit A-D right now :)
