  • Does anyone know what this gardening programme is?

    Hi everyone, I remember a while ago, watching a gardening programme on sky, I have searched and searched, but cannot think of what it was. It was this rather batty fun woman who presented it in her back garden, with a little help sometimes from the elderly gentleman next door. Does anyone know what this is called? Sorry, not much to go on, but that's all I can remember about it.

      I'd agree with Sarz, Christine Walkden - this is the book that accompanied her series

          Yes that would be Christines Garden. It was shown on the Garden Channel that got taken off air. Anyone know why that was????
          Lovely woman, down to earth, told us good info. Bring her back, put her on GW.
          I listened to GQT this Sunday and I am pretty sure I heard her dulcet tones on there.

              They probably just couldn't dream up some daft excuse to fill the channel with fishing shows like they have on Turbo, Shed, and about 4 or 5 other apparently unrelated specialist channels.

                That's my ideal, an allotment on the edge of a river so I can go fishing from my garden shed!!!!!! Bliss!!!

                  Nice...
                  I'm not even into fishing (well, for food, yes, but not for the sake of it) and that sounds lovely.

                  I can see the haze in the air, the sun on the water and the insects spiralling around in the light.

                  ...hardly what you'd expect to find on a channel called Discovery Turbo though is it? When it launched it was meant to be about fast cars, planes, motorbikes and all that other grunt-worthy stuff.

                  Granted, some of the fishing shows are those Bass contests where they have boats with about a million horsepower (why? I don't know) - but it's still not what you'd expect.

                            Didn't know that, I don't watch it because the presenters irritate me.
