Of course it was Joe Swift.!!! Clive was an actor. Senility setting in. I think Joe is really good at planting suggestions but I have forgotten any allotment stuff. Don't do allotments myself. I'm old, hence the senility, but I think getting younger people involved is tremendously important.
One episode of East Enders and I knew it wasn't for me and I've never watched it again
Nor me..same goes for all the other soaps! I watched Gogglebox last night for the first time... obviously wont be doing that again!
There is a big difference between something like Gogglebox and GW. Gogglebox is always just people sitting on their a**es looking at a TV and making mainly inane comments. It's basically a one trick pony. GW has a massive range of subjects to cover so without watching it there is no way to know if it's worth the effort or not.
As for East Enders - TV to make you want to slit your wrists. Nothing but gloom, doom, mayhem and a Mitchell trying to seem threatening by using a gruff whisper.
@BenCotto My thought exactly when I saw that tin bath planter.. there is a sort of trend for people to claim they’re repurposing tin buckets and containers as planters but more often than not their tin buckets look suspiciously new and a quick search online would reveal that these galvanised tin planters would in fact cost a fortune compared to good old terracotta or plastic pots..
This day and age I don’t know how many people actually have a spare old tin bucket lying around their house anymore..
On another note I especially loved the little snippet where Nellie was chasing Patty - and both turned back after Monty bid them goodbye.. I’m amazed how quickly Patty has blended into the family.
Mine cost 20€ in a flea market. I bought 3 old laundry tubs for 15€ and the bath. One tub was painted red and green and stencilled in gold with Xmas trees and snow flakes and is used for the Xmas tree. One had a loose bottom and became a planter and the last tub is in the shed, waiting to be painted (maybe) and planted.
I love trawling flea markets for such goodies but it seems old tat is now fashionable so I won't ever get a collection like this, seen at Le Sous Bois garden in Belgium

I think a lot of rubbish is being talked about the use of old films on GW. They are showing stuff made during lockdown, because there has been very little time to make new films, yet.
Ever since I joined the forum, people have moaned constantly about GW, I don,t suppose things will ever change. Personally I always find something of interest, lovely relaxing TV.
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team
@Dovefromabove yes I am one of those masochists 😂 I always watch gardeners world, really look forward to it every week but then inevitably get bored/annoyed at some of the segments. Really sick of the viewers videos, I watch to learn about gardening and plants I don't know about, not to see someone as hopeless as me showing off that they managed to grow a few plants in lockdown or have a jungle plant obsession 🙄 I'm starting to prefer beech grove now if only they weren't so obsessed with "their "tatties"!
In the days when we used to buy newspapers how many of us read every printed word? The racing page,the football, cricket etc, the small ads, the financial bits, the cartoons, the cattle market prices, the property ads, the weekly gardening section, the international politics, the local politics ...? I'm willing to bet good money that hardly any newspaper was really 'black and white and read all over' (remember that one only works when it's spoken 😂) before it wrapped fish and chips or lined the budgies' cage ... but we bought it, day after day, week in and week out, because there was always at least one thing of interest. I think GW's a bit like that
