Just noticed in TV Times that there is a Gardener's World special on allotments on this coming Friday 3 March. Starts at 8pm.

I went to watch this, and woke up 3/4 hr later - big oops!

Any ideas anyone whether this sort of thing is repeated anywhere?

It's on this Friday coming - you haven't missed it yet!

Thanks for that Sprout....I've highlighted it in the t.v. times (which I always do for anything I want to record)....marked it on my kitchen calendar and written myself a big note....which at the moment is being moved around but has to stay somewhere in my vision!!....

what's the betting - somehow I'll miss it ::)

Did anyone watch the GW Fruit growing special last Friday? I thought it was superb - really inspiring. Lovely to see a bit more of Perch Hill, and Sarah Raven's presentation was excellent as always. No dumbing down here!

Sorry - my fault for the confusion - it was the fruit growing special that I had intended to watch!

Yes I saw it, brilliant! Looking forward to the next programme on Friday :D

We just watched the fruit special tonight and really enjoyed it. Makes you want to grow much more fruit. Glad to hear there is another special programme on Friday, and double bonus that it is about allotments. :) busy_lizzie

i wonder if Dan can start a TV forum so we can all jot down when something's scheduled for or when the repeat is or what we actually think of the programme.

i don't get to do much tv these days, so often forget when there's something good on. it was only Dan reminding us last week that I watched Bill Oddie and his patch and that would have been a real shame to have missed it.

think i'll copy this to the website tips forum ::)

A really good program and it also made me wan't to grow fruit after she got rid of the fear they're harder to grow than vegetables. I even went out and bought BRITISH apples!

I wonder if this programme is the one Carol Klein did some filming for at Ryton gardens Potato Day in January? Thanks for spotting that, will be watching, (If I don't nod off!),

Its a repeat first shown last year, I taped it and didnt think much of it

Sprout · « **Reply #12 on:** February 28, 2006, 10:31:31 »

Are you sure it's a repeat? I didn't notice the tell-tale 'R' in my TV Times. I agree with you that the one shown last year wasn't all that good and I'll be disappointed if this is a repeat of that! :'(

...Is Sarah Raven entering herself in the scarecrow challenge thread?? ;D ;D

Debs ;)

hope its not a repeat?

Can't see any R's in my TV books I hate it when we'r made out to look a bit strange when it's clear we are the sanest people around :P :o

busy_lizzie · « **Reply #16 on:** March 01, 2006, 15:24:07 »

I am afraid we were poking fun at that amazing coat of Sarah Raven's the other night Debs. ;D ;D

We shall be glued to the set too if it is about allotments. Do hope it isn't a repeat. :) busy_lizzie

Debs · « **Reply #17 on:** March 01, 2006, 17:42:19 »

...I hope she gives it back to the scarecrow she borrowed it from ;D

;D

Must admit, I was a little uncharitable about Ms Ravens clothes the other night. Then I thought about the things I wear up at the lottie... :-[

;)

Yes we are only joshing Katy! It is good to be eccentric in my eyes, makes the world a more colourful place. I think people must laugh when they see me in my straw hat in the summer, to say it has seen better days is an understatement. ;D busy_lizzie
