Indeed!! In fact I feel that until they change the production team we
aren't going to see a lot of differences in any time soon on the
gardening programmes. I wonder if a case could be made for putting out
programmes just for the Internet maybe with some advertising to pay for
it.
We could watch really in depth gardening lectures/podcasts/webinars via
computers rather than rely on what the media want us to see.

I might even subscribe to a service like that.

"The Dalmatian Telegraph"! Do I recognise a quotation from "Esprit de
