people who are interested in PLANTS find out what they are!

And forget the fuzzy focus upside down through the legs camera shots..
just a picture of the plant, (NOT the presenter) and name caption. If
the presenter does not have an irritating speech defect, it's
permissible for him/her to voice-over the name of the plant.


I'm beginning
to think urg should stage a mass demo outside the Beeb this year if they
don't get it right!

Maybe a mass emailing to the DG :~}

WaltA, I hope you are ducking because it is Askham Bryan here in God's
county. ;-)) We've been known to roast foreigners on the spit for
mistakes like that. I bet you pronounce Helmsley with an L in it as
well!

The Big Dig got a mention on Points of View yesterday afternoon.
( I was only channel-hopping, honest).
Wogan said that the producers said it had been taken off because of
low viewing numbers. (They didn't ask me!)
They are looking for a more appropriate slot in which to show it.

Are you angling for an invitation to pronounce Kirkcudbrightshire
or Jedburgh, hehee.

of course I would not be so crass or inept as to admit to a typo ,

When did Berwick(pronounce that if you will)-on-Tweed officially cease

How long has low viewing numbers been a criteria for the BBC?

How long has criteria been singular?

I think that's a red herring anyway. They know perfectly well they won't
get high viewing numbers at that time of day (school runs, people at work
etc), but if those who *would* have been interested and could have taped it
if necessary hadn't heard about the series in advance, it just goes to show
they hadn't advertised it properly. Why on earth didn't they trail it at
the end of every Gardeners' World?

I'm surprised they haven't trailed it to death on R4 - every other
bleeding program on the entire network seems to be.

Not forgetting florum and faunum

Florum - no such word in Latin

Flora - from the godess of flowers - plural (if that were possible)
would be Florae

Faunus - Woodland god
