Where is the Gardener's World website?

I know this sounds like a daft question, but I assume this site is connected to the BBC tv program with Monty Don.
Each week Monty says something like, if you missed it, you can find all details on the website.
Where is that information that relates to each episode?

Now noticed that my apostrophe is in the wrong place.
Search seems to be mostly broken on this forum, but I found this:
http://www.gardenersworld.com/forum/the-potting-shed/gardeners-world-plant-lists-and-information/78431.html
And I can't follow it.

The Forum is only one part of the GW website. If you start on the Home Page of the website you will find the links you require - separate from the Forum.
Really? Or rather, I tried that. I'm specifically looking for associated content with each episode of the TV show.

You need the bbc website. This is the magazine website. Try the following link.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006mw1h
Tried that. What I was hoping for was. In this episode we talked about 'blah', we visited 'blah' and looked at these plants 'blah', 'blah' and 'blah'. Something like that.
Just checked the Facebook page which gets some attention, and provides nice photos of Nigel and Nell, but I still can't find the programme info.
I guess I'll have to use the old school method: pause show and have pen and paper at hand. If I can't find this elusive info. It's probably available by clicking somewhere in the right place.

Hello Wayside,
Yes anything relating to the programme will be on the BBC website, I see fidgetbones has provided a link. There you'll find repeats of the episodes on iPlayer, photo galleries, other programme clips and related links.
It sounds like you're looking for info on techniques used in the show. Some of these are listed as programme clips, available here:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006mw1h/clips
Thanks @NoraGW, I did find the clips. Which are great, but the clips are hard to find/navigate.
I was convinced, but perhaps I imagined it, that on more than one occasion on GW the presenters say all info etc. is available on the GW website.
So if there's was a feature on place/plants I'd be able to find out more. Like the special segments on something like Hypericum, there would be some associated pictures, small bio on the collection growers, and lists of different varieties.
The BBC are missing a bit of a trick here if it's not there.

Strange way to tell the time.
It would be easy to annotate the show, most of the work is probably already there with subtitles and on screen labels. They just need to present the information in an accessible format (in addition to the show).
The community could annotate it failing that.
The photography is immense in the show, so why not take a couple of stills of the gardens they explore and photos of 'blah' alongside pics of Nigel, Nell and old what's his name and place comments beside.
Doing a post mortem on the show is a bit much. Especially if the BBC pull the show from iPlayer after a few weeks.
I have some cuttings of blah if anybody wants share. I got them from the plant I bought when I went to Blah House last Summer.
I agree with you Wayside. I don't watch GW but every now and then somone puts a link up for another part of this website and I'm amazed. Who even knew it was there?
What I find most frustrating is...I know it's there but I'll be d****d if I can find it. It's easier to put it into Google and that's just stupid. I just put in "cuttings gardeners world" and there it was.
