Fire · October 2022

The first TV gardening programme was broadcast by the BBC to a handful of viewers on 21st November 1936, only 2 weeks after the British public TV service began.

Then and now and how things change. It's good to see old programmes such as these.

Hard to imagine a time before GW. My mum was a gardener. I feel as though I have watched it my entire life and still remember exactly where I was and what I was doing when I heard of G Hamiltons death.

That's an interesting link Fire, thank you, not only for the main one but the others within it. I'll look forward to watching those later.
