I think this clip from his website (www.chrisbeardshaw.com) might give a
clue:

New! Chris launches The Great Garden Challenge. Chris is to present the new
gardening programme on C4 - The Great Garden Challenge. The exciting new
programme will be going out live from Blenheim Palace every afternoon from
March 21st until July and sets out to find the best gardening designers in
Britain.

Neil.
