    I'm pleased to see it'll be repeated on BBC2 at 7.45am on Sunday.   :)
    Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.

    Watched a programme this morning on BBC2 7.15am The Wild Gardener. It's presented by a very likeable Irish chap named Colin Stafford-Johnson. If you google it you will see it is Episode 1 Series 1 and can be watched on BBC iPlayer. 
    I can wholeheartedly recommend it and enjoyed the hour long programme.

    I keep reading absolute rave reviews about The English (on iPlayer). Westerns rarely appeal but it sounds like one not to be missed:  http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p0d5vxl7

    Lots of violence, good cinematography, good acting, but incomprehensible plot.

    I started to watch it but it just wasnt my style at all. Modern type western. OH loves it though. Knowing how it ends, at the beginning of the first episode, somewhat put me off it too.

    The Wild Gardener BBC2 7am tomorrow. It is a repeat so you may have seen it before but if it's anything like the one I watched last Sunday you should enjoy it.  :)

    Re The English, are there many scenes of animals being mistreated? Worried I might not enjoy it. I can cope with the characters meeting sticky ends, as I know I’m not watching a snuff movie ( I hope!) but at least the human actors are only pretending, have consented to take part, and are getting paid for it!
    Also, SPOILER ALERT, did someone mention an unhappy ending? OH loves westerns, fancies Emily Blunt, but can’t abide a sad ending. Still haven’t got over taking him to see Summersby in the cinema!

    Ah, Emily Blunt, your hubby is a man after my own heart , @Ergates

    Tonight on BBC4 from 10pm - The Crow Road. A brilliant dramatization of Iain Banks' excellent novel set in Scotland. It was first aired about 25 years ago and has become an underground classic. The first programme tonight features the actors looking back on their time in the series, including Bill Paterson, Joe Mcfadden (Strictly) & Peter Capaldi (Dr. Who) and the gorgeous Valerie Edmond (who I've never seen in anything else more's the pity).

    Absolutely essential watching!

    Good grief, was that 25 years ago? I feel OLD now. 
    I've seen it, it was good. But I absolutely loved the book.
