    Well, that's very interesting @LG_. thanks for posting that. I suspect there are many people who agree with him, myself included.

    Just read it too, here in the south we enjoyed the repeats on BBC2 on a Sunday I don't want to go on social media for hints about growing in Scotland I am not there it's irrelevant to me, but we loved the programme.

    I've just read in the paper that there is a petition on Facebook ....Keep Beechgrove Garden on Air.

    Can anyone supply a link please?  It's a 38degrees petition.

    I don't know what the viewing figures for BBC Scotland are but I would have thought that getting rid of a popular programme like Beechgrove Garden can only lead to less viewers for the channel. In fact I have just looked at the schedules and it appears that 50% of the programmes can be seen on regular BBC so why scrap a programme made in Scotland to show generic BBC programmes, what is the point of BBC Scotland if they don't favour Scottish made programmes?

    I don't know what the point of BBC Scotland is. Their dismissive tone on how people can just use Social Media really annoys me. This is a well loved programme being destroyed by bean counters who don't care about the viewers. I have signed.

    Thanks @LG_ I wasn't expecting such a quick response.
