Thanks! Rather embarrassingly, our vegetable garden has been appearing
on TV recently, but only in the Anglia TV region, on "A Wartime Winter"
with Paul Heiney. So, avoiding plastic in the garden can reap rewards in
the form of (modest) location fees!

HOOooo how funny, us too! Beginning of last September, Granada TV used
our front garden and porch (bright pink and red with a wisteria around
it and lots of pots on the steps) to film The Stepfather with I'm
affraid I forgotten the name of the guys. All I remember is one was
'the builder' or perhaps 'the plasterer' or 'bricky' (??) in Coronation
Street and the other always plays a vilain. It was a great day with
tons of wires and people and vans. We also got a (modest) location fees
but my boys took the day off school just to enjoy the day. I worked at
the BBC for around 10 years. It was nice to be back in the showbiz
swing of things. My black cat Figaro featured in it, by accident. One
simply cannot commends cats about )

Our young lurcher puppy appeared by accident in the first episode,
falling down a hole through not looking where she was going (I'm
convinced the editor left it is to provide content for future "bloopers"
programmes)! The chickens appear on a regular basis as does my other
half (she does the "cooking sketches"). My only appearance? The foot
doing the impression of the "Dig for Victory" poster which opens each
programme - not a career builder but never mind ;-)
