Yes, this is tongue in cheek but it's very topical given our recent
discussions about Chelsea and Carol Klein. A trade journal writes that
Carol is to make 10 half hour films on NGS open gardens for a BBC2 day time
slot. Each episode includes 2 gardens, one opening for the first time and
one trying to get into the Yellow Book. It's expected to transmit in
September.
And Carol is also working on a series for BBC Birmingham about growing veg.
This will be broadcast in early 2007. She is quoted as saying that the
series is 'prescient' and would fill a gap in TV gardening.

Terrific news! Gotta love Carol. Also note that it's good to see
another crack in the absurd telly convention that women should
preferably look no more than 22 years old, while men are allowed to be
as craggy as they please. The walls are crumbling, ladies!
