Was usually on a Thursday evening- on BBC Scotland so- sky dish needed in England or i-player which may have shut Liz out
Am have second thoughts now about Chris Beardshaw -he is a garden designer and I do hope that they now they have a "big name" the content of the programme doesn't change too much-is at its best when it concentrates on the Beechgrove Garden itself and the trials and tribulations-and there is not going to be too many garden makeovers again
But must not pre-judge-wait and see-as regards us down South I never found the advice was that far out as regards timimg- or accents
You haven't been to deepest Aberdeenshire then, Bunny?? The doric spoken there's like a language; when young I was taken to visit a cousin, married to a farmer who when he went outside put on his "waldy bits" (wellies).
It's diluted a lot nowadays as have all regional accents, unfortunately.
I believe that Jim's from Ayrshire - just round the corner from you!
I find Jim easy to understand and he has alovely way with him. Chris Beardshaw began his career as a lecturer at Pershore College and later moved in to TV presenting and design. He's a real plantsman who's very good at right plant right place and also planting combinations.
I've watched Beechgrove for a couple of years now and find it very informative and entertaining though I'm less keen on the community project programes. It gives excellent advice, runs proper trials of plants and products and the team all works well togther and with humour. CB will make a very good addition to the team.
Vendée - 20kms from Atlantic coast.
"The price good men (and women) pay for indifference to public affairs is to be ruled by evil men (and women)."
This has made my day ! I think CB is great - he came to talk to our local gardening club last year and was fantastic - kept us all hanging on his every word for nearly 3 hours - definitely more to him than just a garden designer. If you want a book that tells you everything you ever wanted to know about plants and why they behave the way they do then try his "How does your garden grow" book. Did you know that trees "walk" over a period of years ??
Also wonderful to think there will be more than one gardening programme a week to watch.

Don't think it was shown on English TV. I haven't seen it either.
