  The Allotment (DIY)
Amble.
A chronological guide through one year on a variety of allotments. Garden experts David Cemlyn and Jane Moore help protegees to get the most from their plot. This week, a look at crop rotation, how to ensure that fruit and vegetables survive a frost, building a twigloo willow shelter, planting glorious gladioli, and how broad beans and ouzo make a tasty combination.

HURRAH!   At last, a TV company more enlightened than Auntie.  If I recall correctly from the Beeb boards, Auntie deemed allotment gardening a 'niche' hobby and not worthy of a full set of programmes!!!

Sadly, we are terrestrial only and in the south east so won't be able to watch it   :'(
