    I was making a cuppa at the time, but I thought I heard Frances from GW saying she had a plot. If so, I'll be interested to see what she comes up with. I usually enjoy her segments on GW, very knowledgeable.

    Turned sound off to avoid background music,switched channels to avoid cringe-inducing Z listers'. There wasn't much to see apart from that. The gardens I saw looked like Chelsea flower show gardens.  The celebs looked like people who needed to be seen at Chelsea flower show.
    As a member of rhs, I wish there was a show for real gardeners.
    In London. Keen but lazy.

    I'm with you on that B3.
    My daughter phoned just as coverage was starting, so I put TV on mute with subtitles. Enjoyed the flowers, gardens much as usual, missed all the gushing commentary. Recommended!

    The trouble is that the subtitles get in the way

    Well, they do a bit, but you have to balance that with the comedy value when they get things totally wrong!

      I loved the Yorkshire garden. Also loved Chris Beardshaw  :)
    Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.

    Chris Beardshaw, could make me depart, from the straight and narrow. :)
    How can you lie there and think of England
    When you don't even know who's in the team
