Aaahhhhh!! I remember them. That was back in the days of proper gardeners and sensible gardening advice showing the best ways to grow vegetables, fruit and flowers, with a lot less emphasis on the aesthetics of gardening. I know it's each to his own, but I think we're desperately short of a good gardening/allotment growing programme or two. There's plenty of room in the tv scheduling given that most of it is filled with utter dross.
I also wish they still did the language courses on tv that they did many years ago. We live in a much wider world now, and I'm sure lots of people would be interested to have a go. Sorry - I'm wandering away from the original post again.
