Said on the link that Toby Buckland was gardener to Tom Sharpe.  If it is the one I am thinking of he (Tom Sharpe) is so so funny.  Learn new thing everyday.  Just trying to think of the books he wrote.  Will do a google search.  Did you know that Joe Swift's dad was in 'Mrs Bucket' (Mrs Bouquet) must be getting old, can't remember the name.

The first three were Riotous Assembly, Indecent Exposure and Porterhouse Blue. I think the Wilt ones came next. I remember my stomach hurting I was laughing so hard at some of the scenes in the early ones.

Blott on the landscape and Porterhouse Blues.  Think they were on TV.  Very funny, must read/watch them again.

If my memory serves me well, "The Midden" had a gardener in it. And of course, there is the infamous rose incident in The Wilt Alternative wich leads to a non-euphematical wet dream in reverse. I think.

Blott of Blott on the landscape was the German ex POW gardener for Lady Maude, but I think we're now way off topic. Sorry  thomasb  :)
