The influence of urg......... ;-)
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. -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon email address on web site |

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! -- Mike. |

The walls are crumbling, ladies! Good news indeed. I love Carol's enthusiasm; she always makes even the humblest plant seem that much more interesting. I also read somewhere recently that Christine Walkden is making another series of Christine's Garden. Now if only they'd see sense and keep Gardeners' World extended to a whole hour like the first few were this year... -- Sue |

Interesting - that builds on the regular use of NGS gardens in old series of Gardeners World and also the two series of Garden Makers that Joe Swift presented. It was in the latter that I saw the Romsey garden that I decided to visit a couple of weeks ago. As GW is being repeated regularly on satellite telly at present I now cross check any garden I see on an old edition to see if it is still in the NGS book - almost all of them are. 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. Also fills a gap in the gardening programme rota at that time of year and is nicely timed to allow people to sow seeds and get ready for the new growing year. -- Paul C |
