    It wasn't an early version of Beechgrove was it? It used to be on BBC2 in the 90s and whenever they moved to the next segment, a big cartoon bee buzzed all over the screen, made my mother in laws dogs leave the room as they didn't like buzzy things.

    ..early Fern Britton worked on a garden programme called ''That's Gardening'' with Stefan Buczacki, early 1980's....  I don't remember this much myself...

    alternatively, perhaps the member is confusing 'The Victorian Kitchen Garden' with Harry Dodson/Ruth Mott.... she was rather bossy... albeit from the kitchen...

  • The woman was shorter the man taller and maybe in their early 70's. They were definitely British no Scottish accent. She wore glasses, medium gray hair.

  • Lyn I love the idea of a gardening vicar show!

    That sounds like the programme Salino mentioned. Ruth Mott and Harry Dodson and both were in their late 70s/early 80s.

  • No I just googled photos and that is not her. My husband vaguely remembers it. Drats!

    Hi I'm new here.

    There was another gardening programme,(70/80s) I think, where the into was a tiny fieldmouse in a clay flowerpot and the music was a spanish guitar. I think Harry Dodson was in that too.

    Thank you Muddle-Up - why Muddle-Up?

    I didn't know this place existed until a couple of days ago image Oh dear! 

    I can remember the presenter was from the RHS and ISN'T IT JUST ANNOYING when you're trying to wrack your brain!  'Grow Your Own' keeps coming to mind but I'm not sure that was it.

    I think Denise will have moved on by now - the  thread's 18 months old!  image

    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    Yes I remember those days too and I'm still doing it!

    I'll keep on trying to find the programme and let you know if I'm successful.
