I am surprised that no one has posted about this series.
I'm finding it good, a different format with a good selection of
presenters, though I just can't take very much of Christine Walkden, I
had
to change channels after almost 15 mins. of her. I know others find her
good.
Then tonight being told how to get rid of bindweed, "don't pull it up
as
it
has a tap-root that can go down a couple of meters" a different form to
any
I have found in a long life of fighting it. But I'm being picky.
Lets have more gardening progs. in this sort of format.


We instructed our PVR to record the whole series and funny enough I
watched
the first one in the series tonight, all about wild flower meadows.
Interesting and instructive was my impression and I look forward to
viewing
the rest of the series.

The first one of the series was before Xmas, in the week that Nelson
Mandela
died. Only three out of five episodes were shown as the result of NM
death.
NM
obituaries replaced the programme.

I wouldn't know about that, once I've told the machine to "Record the
Whole
Series" it does it automatically no matter what time or day it's shown. It
certainly picked up that there was a big gap over Christmas as I noticed
it
recording again and wondered why and checked. Must admit we tend to record
all series we might like to watch to ensure we don't miss any.


Hi Bob
What make is your PVR. I wish mine would do that. I have to remember
to set each and every programme I want recorded.


This is the latest version of what we have, it's Freesat so uses our old Sky
dish (we gave Sky up years ago), but they also do Freeview ones for ordinary
ariels.
