Hard to find details on the Beeb website, but I think this programme runs daily for the week starting 17 October.  Might be worth a look? 

BBC2
The Big Dig
Mon 17 Oct, 3:30 pm - 4:30 pm  60mins

A tale of two plots as Simon Mayo follows two hugely contrasting sets of allotmenteers from Cardiff and London throughout the growing season. Today it's the beginning of April and that means it's planting out the first early potatoes, getting the greenhouse in order, the bean frames up and learning the secrets of bio-dynamic planting.

About time too. I have sent stacks of emails to the beeb about allotments and their lack of programmes about real gardeners, lets hope they do the bussiness, as I sick and tired of programmes where everything comes from the garden centre.

Wardy - excellent news about veg seed sales - must be a lot of people fed up with supermarket dross.

Why does it have to be on at 3.30 p.m. ??

What about those of us who miss out because we work

Because the guy actually has an allotment. I think it's on one of the sites filmed.

If I remember correctly, Simon Mayo's father is a vicar or RE teacher.

I think that he has his feet well and truly grounded on this planet, which is more than can be said about many other presenters, radio or television.

Plus, he's a Spurs supporter  Grin

That's great Moonbells - I take back everything I ever said about him.  I never would have had him down as a plottie.  I'm really looking forward to it.  Will someone remind me that it's on as I forget everything

Ta  Wardy 

Course now I've said that, I can't find where I read it!!!

Probably the BBC GW mag...
