Let's hope so.  GW starts again in March too and it'll be interesting to see if it's any better with Monty Don from his own garden.

We've also got AT doing a new gardening programme on ITV to rival GW.   That's something else to look forward to.

Quoteround the clock gardening tips

Err, not quite, Digital spy (http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/digitaltv/news/a282148/horticultural-channel-coming-to-satellite.html) say they will be on Sunday mornings with a repeat on Friday

I don't have sat, so hopefully they will also release the programs on the web.

Hi,

Is Beechgrove only shown in Scotland? - looks interesting and I've got Sky, but don't seem to have BBC Scotland?

cheers

I watch it on the BBC i-player on our Wii

I don't have sky, bu as far as I understand, there are a lot of 'hidden' channels that you can get, like all the regional ITV channels, and mybe BBC scotland, but don't ask me how to find them.


Try this
Quotepress services button then select (system setup) then (add channels)
enter the following
frecuency- 10.803
polarisation - H
syombol rate- 22000
fec- 5/6
then select find channels use yellow button to store this has bbc scotland 1 and 2 on it

Ha ha,

Cheers guys - sussed it on Sky. Channel 971, beyond the naughty ones (which I of course never go near). I follwed the guidance on here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/reception/info/sat_frequencies.shtml and BBC Scotland is now there. To be fair, I'm not sure if it was already there anyhow?, but either way - I now have it!

;D

ps, thanks Chrispy - just seen your edit and yup, thats what I did and it worked a treat - thanks again!
