Great film
The dvd has a few extras..shows how they built the allotment and how they kept it looking good ( was almost as good as the film that bit)

I found it quite charming and insightful.  Very apposite about allotment politics albeit not much on growing, but then that is not what  it was about. Thank you Flighty.

I bought the DVD ages ago when it was about £3 on Amazon.  Didn't any of you find the story of the refugee family really sad?  :'( I won't give the story away for those of you who have not watched it yet

Oops - there's another thread about this on the forum!

I watched the show and blogged me thoughts.
It was interesting, if predictable...

Good to see allotments getting some publicity, though.   :)
