Thought you might like to know that gardeners world on Friday March 2nd is all about allotments- their appeal and shortage. its on at 8.30pm.
Might be worth a watch.

Thanks for reminding me Seedling. I hope it shows Monty Don revisiting the large allotment in Birmingham he previously featured. I remember enjoying seeing people, many originating from other parts of the world, bringing their individual methods and distinct crops to this large inner city allotment.

Cheers Seedling, what would we do without you.

The original GW allotment programme is what inspired me to get my plot.
Seedling, we'll have to get rid of the committee before 8.30pm
Can we tell them your mother's coming round or something?

How much you wanna bet it's the same allotment programme they've shown the past two years? It was interesting, but the showed it again a year later with no updates.

I take it back it wasn't all rehashed stuff, though the bit at the end with Clive looked familiar.
Saying that it didn't offer much new and exciting, though I missed the bit about the upcoming movie. It will hopefully make more people aware of allotments and maybe sway the powers-that-be not to promote them more.

Hi Cherrycoup
Try the teleport on your cable or satalite provider. It was on there before as I missed it too having had a horrendously bad day. I didn't have time to watch it.

I've looked Compo and it's not there.
Having found FAQs, it says this
"Why are full programmes no longer available on bbc.co.uk/bbctwo?
Since February 2006, we’ve offered a sample of full programmes to watch online as part of a trial. It's now down to the new BBC Trust to deliver the outcome of its Public Value Test which will determine whether the BBC can go ahead with an expansion of our on-demand offerings to include seven day TV catch-up of programmes over the internet."

Sorry Chantal, have not looked last year, I used to watch it on line as it was being transmitted as it coincided with something OH wanted to watch, sometimes I watched it again later, obviously it's not the same any more.
