    Hi,

    I've been asked if I can find the name of a TV show. I'm going to post the description exactly as it was given to me, I'd be really grateful for any ideas anyone can come up with because I'm stumped.

    -----------

    Hi, My husband and I used to watch a programme about ten years ago
    presented by a guy and his dog called Tip(?) with a helper. They would
    turn up in the guy's old landrover and he looked like he should have
    been a victorian farmer. They used to go to small gardens and tidy
    them up. It was shown on a satellite channel. Any ideas?? Thank you,

    Follow up
    It was definately a UK show somewhere around the London area. He was about 40 and tended to wear a barbour jacket, he had fairish coloured curly hair.
    My husband and I are starting to think we imagined it.

    Hi Julie, I remember it, but not well enough to remember the title :scratch:, I'm sure the guys name was Simon and he a posh hyphonated surname, his assistant was Ed?, can't remember the name of the dog, could have been tip or skip???

      I'm pretty sure the one you are talking about was Gardens unplugged. I looked for a video but couldn't find one. I used to watch that show and thought it was pretty good. They didn't try and do a weeks job in a day like most programs.

        That sounds like the one :thumb:

        Just googled it and the presenters were Simon Harrison Knibbs and Ryan Durrant (not Ed - doh)....
