For those who wish to view,

has panoramas of each garden, and a full plant list.

The plant lists are not illustrated, but otherwise this idea seems sound,
and has the merit that they are also printable.

Thanks. but it doesn't change the point. The BBC provided two Chelsea
slots daily for a week, and all too obviously couldn't think how the
hell to fill in the time; while gardeners up and down the country just
wanted a camera to point at the gardens, plants, displays, etc, in
focus, for a decent length of time, *without* a musical background, and
*with*a voice-over or caption of plant names.

If you're reading this, BBC researchers, , we don't need or want to
see a presenter. Just pick one who hasn't got a speech impediment, is
interested in plants, and let them do a voiceover while the camera
points at gardens, plants, displays etc. How hard is that?


Yes and it would be a lot cheaper with no "celebrities" cluttering up the
screen wasting valuable time.

I think those celebs are under contract and probably get no extra pay.
