but I still think that Toby Buckland, *left to his own devices*, could have filled that gap that St. Geoff vacated. I agree, but of course the powers that be just had to make it 'appeal' to people who don't like gardening. -- Janet T. Amersham |

The Beeb could do worse than repeat his programmes. I would watch them again, and I don't think I'd be alone. -- Spider from high ground in SE London gardening on clay |

I have the "Geoff Hamilton Collection" on DVD, comprising the three "standalone" series he did - Ornamental Kitchen Garden, Cottage Gardens and Paradise Gardens (completed posthumously). I watch them fairly frequently. Cheers, Jake ======================================= Urgling from the East end of Swansea Bay where it got dark today an hour earlier than a week ago! |

Alas, I only have Paradise Gardens, but wish I had more. I shall have to look out for them. You're very lucky to have the full compliment. Perhaps you should loan them to the BBC? They've obviously forgotten who valuable they are and, after all, repeats are all the rage these days. -- Spider from high ground in SE London gardening on clay |

For those who can get BBC2 Scotland (Sky and FreeSat can; don't know about Virgin as there are none round here to ask) Beechgrove starts tonight at 7.30pm. It will then be repeated on BBC2 nationally (including BBC2HD) on Sunday at 9.30am. Enjoy! Cheers, Jake ======================================= Urgling from the East end of Swansea Bay where it got dark today an hour earlier than a week ago! So what's all the fuss, a bunch of foreigners talking from the frozen North of the UK. The format was OK, but would be better if it was kept as a regional Prog, and each region of the UK followed suit. If the Beeb can manage regional news and weather then why not regional Gardening, I suppose they will argue that making a Prog for the few gardeners in Wales where the majority in the west of the country still grow mainly Veg wouldn't be worth the cost. |
