I just think the BBC have got it wrong. Everyone posting here seems to prove the point that the BBC could provide 2 programmes. One for more advanced tastes where latin names are important and time is plentiful and maybe one where sustainability and veg growing come together in a more down to earth presentation. Whatcha reckon guys?The only positive about Joe Swift I guess is that it is always a positive to have allotments in the mainstream in some way isnt it? I'm sure plenty have got interested that way? i wouldnt like to judge the guy too much as he had to take the plot on for the programme rather than his own choice. Also, he lives in hackney and that is a commitment to drive that way.
What the TV needs is a Fred Dibnah of the Allotments.
Oh, just been told Alys Fowler has a new prog coming on called 'The edible garden' which might be worth a look. Maybe that will cater for veg growers a little better?
(not bloody gardeners delight tomatos).
And why would you dismantle your shed only to leave it ???

If, as claimed, there's demand, dont you think one of the thousands of channels on you digi box would produce something.If it was economically viable, we would have our own channel, we could call it, for example - UKTV Gardening. ( but we all know what happened to that >:( ... and for those that don't know http://www.allotments4all.co.uk/smf/index.php/topic,51810.0.html and http://www.allotments4all.co.uk/smf/index.php/topic,51979.0.html )Edit:Ahh Borlotti, thanks for the explanation. I'm obviously too cynical of the Beeb.
