Default BBC waking up?

We've just watched the BBC 'Grow Your Own' new prog. Is there some collaboration or are the Beeb just waking up to what gardeners really want to watch? It was like reading my first issue of the magazine! Lawsuit or what!

I do hope so Sue, I've just finished watching it and thoroughly enjoyed it. I like Carol Klein and her enthusiasm.
Don't think a half hour was long enough though.

I enjoyed it as well. I didnt recognise the ladys name, but recognised her face and her voice! Even told OH to keep quiet while I was watching! Looking forward to next week. Dexterdog

Good back to back programmes of Kew and Veg growing. Wish I had a pile of mulch/compost in the time Kew make for my garden! Like any programme, there seemed to be more questions than answers like why Carol chose the potatoe types, chit Vs non chit etc. Have got the book though and it does go into these issues a little deeper.

What a fab programme for beginners or those who need an injection of enthusiasm. Carols presentation came over very well and she was so enthusiastic that it was a pleasure to watch.

Well done the BBC
