Hard to tell, can't see any detail. I had a look at the programme and still can't see.
Could be one of the tall, yellow thalictrums. T. flavum maybe
In the sticks near Peterborough
I wonder if it is Solidago (golden rod )?
Thanks nutcutlet. I was wondering if it was the same plant I have in my garden, which I have never got around to identifying, but I think the flowers look slightly different...
Have you got a close up of flowers and leaves of yours LF?
and when does it flower and how tall is it and what sort of seeds does it have
and does it die back to nothing in the winter or is there a clump of leaves?

Don't know what the first photographs are but at a guess I think the shrub in LeadFarmers picture might be Kerria Japonica
I think so be Bilje

Me too. No idea what Monty's is I'm afraid
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
I agree - the first one is a Thalictrum and the other one is the double Kerria Japonica 'Flore Pleno'
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
cut the Kerria hard after flowering. I cut the flowering stems right to the ground. You'll see the new growth shooting up through them, very easy to tell them apart.
Remove old wood and leave the new wood which will flower the following spring.
