New programme on SKY -- UKGardens on the 10th April 10.00 p.m.
seems it is all about allotments
might be worth a peek at ??? ??? ??? ???
Hi BB, it's not a repeat of the prog that was aired on 'normal' telly a year or so ago? It was fronted by an ex radio dj, can't remember his name.... oh yeah, Simon Mayo i think.
Will check it out tho', anything about lotties on the telly has gotta be a good thing ;)
the big dig or something, yes, got it in my diary, how sad am I ;D
I remember the uproar about this one - it started, to much excitement, then the Beeb pulled it after about two episodes saying that viewing figures weren't very good (they scheduled it during the day when people were either at work or on the lottie, d'oh!), Then they started showing it again, only no-one told me and I missed the whole thing.
There we are, potted history, with just a hint of bitterness. >:(
I quite enjoyed them - but wasn't so keen on Simon Mayo. Some of the characters were interesting - the London Shed was fantastic - worth watching just to see it.
Don't have Sky, or TV come to that... would have liked to have seen it though...
;D
Will give it a look
lovely - will have to nick the VCR of b-in-law...
the reminder alarm has been set on my phone and it will ring weekly to remind me to set the VCR.
Sad? Moi? Never! ;D ;D
I have set my reminder as I didn't see it the first or second time around! For me it will be interesting to nose at other peeps allotments. I love to see what other folk are doing. ;D
Great!! We have just got the Vplus service so can record a series on the hard drive of our cable box. Might get to see it this time. Like EJ, love looking at other peoples allotments. busy_lizzie
Yep ! seen the adverts and am looking forward to this!

Hi Saddad if I have a video recorder I would have recorded it for you and sent you the copies but with all this high tec we have got it is far to complicated for me
I am sure we will keep you informed
unless someone else can offer you the service
have put the reminder on all week as it is on evernight and repeated at 10.00 and 15.00 eveveryday
BB ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Can someone post a reminder tomorrow please, for those of us with minds like sieves? ;)
thought I'd better bring this up to the top, it's on tonight, uktv gardens 10 pm :)
Good thinking ;D
Well I enjoyed that. Simon Mayo lends nothing to the program at all, and I love Terry Walton from the Jeremy Vine show. Good to see how people do things, being nosey and checking out how plots look and what they get up to. Very sociable those 2 sites. If they came to ours, they would be lucky to ever find anyone there!
Well I loved it too! getting to know the characters and plots... luckily not too much Simon Mayo!
Interesting choice of characters; took an instant dislike to one of the Welsh allotmenteers (tall man, grey hair, took on a plot when he was 11 which is a very positive achievement) think he might have been the Jeremy Vine man.
It was great to be nosey about other people's methods, that's fer darn sure! I always feel a bit cheeky walking around our site and peering over fences! ;D
OH was very good at sitting through this and we had a jaw-drop and a laugh over the comments about women allotmenteers one of the interviewees made! ;D ;D ;D
Bugger! Forgot about this :( >:( Will have to set the V+ to get the rest of the series.
Well I enjoyed it too - it amazes me how many different ways people plant things but think I am just nosey
OH watch but think it was only because I had to endure him watching 2 different football matches at the same time ::)
looking forward to tonight's prog
Thanks to a timely reminder PM from Bluebird, I remembered to watch it- and was not disappointed- except for Simon Mayo looking completely bored! My Oh sat through about half of it and admitted to being vaguely interested, which was more than any other gardening programme has achieved! Shame it's on so late- anyone who's been digging a plot all day would have a job staying awake!
Enjoyed it again this evening. Yes, it is on rather late for these tired eyes, but I managed! ;D I like all the characters and seeing how they do things is great. So tonight was the end of April, so tomorrows episode will be mid May. It is handy seeing when they put things in and do things....reminds me of jobs to do, or things not to rush.
Only watched the last 15 minutes of last nights, saw tonight's and enjoyed it. Programmed reminders for Thursday & Fridays episodes for automatic viewing. I don't mind Simon Mayo. He ain't on too much but its better than previous GYO program. Thumbs up from me. :)
Ooops missed it too. Glad ypu pointed this one out.
Just checked and it's on at 10am, 3pm and 10pm tomorrow, not sure if they're repeats of todays programme or what. Day off tomorrow, might have to take a breather from the garden at some point.
turned uk gardens on this afternoon and saw it 3ish i think worth checking the next days listings next week
marg with nothing better to do than sit around and mend bones ;D
FELL ASLEEP last night so missed the last 15 minutes then took Alan back to Leicester so missed the repeats..still, will try to stay awake tonight, I think it's much better than the other progs on at the mo :)
It is a bit disjointed but interesting nevertheless. Tonight the chaps in London planted a couple of brassicas and put a hell of a lot of lime down the planting hole. Seemed like an awful lot to me, but what do I know.
yes i saw that when i watched it this afternoon then i fell asleep!! at 3.45 it can,t be the late hour must be the prog
marg
As much as I like the program - not so sure about tonight's. Also a bit gutted I will miss Mon-Wed program as I am away till Thursday.
Caught it in bits twice today, two different programmes! Quite enjoyed it though, makes you remember what cold springs can be like.......everything a bit slow and late frosts...beware!
Yes, it does remind you that we are having unseasonal warm weather at the moment. It seems warm enough to be out there planting out your toms.....yet it is only the start of April and we could see frosts into May!!
It seems to have been on all day today :o It's on now until one in the morning :o
It's on now until at least 3 this afternoon, probably on after that as well but my programme information doesn't go past 3.
