Chelsea coverage by the BBC

There's probably been a thread about this, but I can't find it... I've been catching up with the progs I taped of the evening coverage of the show..... Were as many of you as disappointed as I was?? Jenny I share your dissapointment. Whilst I liked Carol's slot, what irritated me was the return to the same gardens all the time. I was left wondering if there where any other stands other than clematis, carnivourous plants, large stand from the west indies and roses. And the only gardens are the main show gardens. I know the BBC gives the RHS a wad of cash for all this - which is why they did the Garden's through Time at Harlow Carr and now the GQT northern garden (not because the RHS is interested for it has stopped all the seed trials, Sweet pea trials etc that the Northern Horticultural Society ran for years) Fortunately on www.flickr.com Yahoo's other photo posting site, people have posted their pics of Chelsea and I found it infinately better than the tv coverage. My favourite garden was the one by the Japanese gardener who used the moss balls on the wall. (which on TV turned into a trip to Paris - very interesting, worthy of a Gardeners World slot, I want to watch Chelsea not go on a jolly to see.....blood pressure rising - back to the gardening) So I wonder - are the BBC not allowed to show us everything, so that there is something to go for?
