Sort of gave up watching about half way through Alan Titchmarsh's time
there, and now seem to have lost the habit.

All became very embarrassing last week as the programme was here filming for
broadcast 20th June - so I guess I will have to at least watch that one!

What was interesting was the amount of effort that goes into each program,
they were here for 10 hours for just 6 mins of intended slot.
(and so many takes were done I honestly have no idea what the end result
will be like other than embarrassing)

That's a pretty good "shooting ratio". Soaps on location will do
about 10 mins/day, studio 20+ (that really is a sausage factory),
period drama is about 1 min/day, features even less than that.

(and so many takes were done I honestly have no idea what the end result

How many (main) cameras? If there is only one every different angle
needs a new set up, Not watched Gardeners World for a long time do
they still demo stuff or is it all arty farty "make over"/"design"?
Demo's really need two cameras one wideish the other following the
action. If you only have one camera you really have to do the demo at
least twice and that path can quickly lead into continuity error
hell.

Makes mental note to watch 20th June edition.

Oh that's one for the diary, Charlie! Well done. Was it Carol who came
to you? We'll look forward very much to seeing you and I hope Monte had
at least a walk-on part!

Yes it was Carol Klein, who was charming, not having been a fan of GW I had
no idea what to expect.

They were desperate for Monte the dog to get in shot so they could say "Go
away Monty" the whole crew thought it very amusing, something to do with
Monty Dons dog? but again as I don't watch it sort was over my head. but in
the end I don't think he will appear.

Just the one camera, and yes continuity was fun, especially as the day
started at 9 am warm and sunny so we were in shirt sleeves but but 7.45pm it
was decidedly chilly!

She's extremely nice and of course, extremely knowledgeable, too.

"Go away Monty" the whole crew thought it very amusing, something to do
with Monty Dons dog? but again as I don't watch it sort was over my

I hope he has his moment of fame!
