BBC's series of "Glorious Gardens From Above" to my mind is the best gardening programme broadcast in many a year. It has not unrealistic ways of building a garden (with concrete or else owt) yet it is edifying and very entertaining. How many beautiful, garden there are in the UK! Not watched it, saw who was the presenter and that was it. I'm not a fan of Christine Walkden either but the gardens make up for that. All 30+ of them And while we thought the balloon thing was going to be an irritating gimmick, we found it rather useful. It sets the scene for the gardens in the most literal sense. Not only do you see the garden as a whole, you see it in its surroundings, whether they be country, town, suburbs. There was a BBC UK archeology series run at the same time as the beginning of this series. They used a drone. Other than not seeing Christine in a basket, they achieved similar if not better results. Most of the aerial views in Glorious Gardens From Above were made the same way as the archeology series. What the two series had in common, other than using drones and being worth watching, was that both series were shown, without any prior BBC publicity, at times when many people were at work or had other things to do. Well Martin, that is the advantage of being retired and all the mucky weather we have had, making working outside,at the very least, unpleasant. |
