I missed the programme. Did anyone comment on the flavour of a tomato that comes from a plant that grows a foot a day? I mean, it must be mostly water.
hi Berghill - I guess that programme makers have to appeal to the widest poss audience so bound to be dumbed down to a certain extent but I get what you mean. Yes, it is very scientific now isnt it Heather M? I suppose that's the only way that food can be produced at such an intense level - my inner jury is still out on whether it's a good thing or bad but I tend to veer to the organic side! (especially after a tipple of home made wine....)

Shame you missed it Waterbutts, because Philippa Forrester did in fact make that point to the manager, who in turn gave her a tomato from the vine to taste….her conclusion was that it was on a par with those from her own greenhouse.

Your welcome, Alan.....remember to watch tonight.
You say, "didnt quite get the name of that salad spud at the end they tried" - I think that was 'Charlotte'.
This was a phenomenal programme. So much that I didn't know about. But how sadly high tech and scientific everything is now.
Well, I found it slow, they repeated themselves over and over again. Basically half an hours program stretched into an hour.
Content was interesting, but presented in a dumbed down, dull way.

She has weathered well though, remember her from Tomorrow's World. Philippa Forrester, I mean.
