I've just started The Ivington Diaries by Monty Don. Very enjoyable.
Reading of Monty reminded me that in January 2010 a Ö÷²¥´óÐã PR release on the internet about gardening TV programmes coming up this year told that Monty had a new series on Secret Italian gardens coming out. Can I have missed it??
Also, in Sarah Raven's new kitchen and garden seed catalogue 2011 she says that she spent much of the year travelling round the country filming a Ö÷²¥´óÐã2 series on wild flower habitats and the insects that go with them.
Has anyone more details, please? It'd be good to think we have some quality tv gardening programmes to look forward to some time soon to fill the gap left by Alan's brilliant series.
Cheers, Pete.

Hi Pete
You've not missed them - both of these programmes are to be scheduled to air next year.
Hope that helps

Hi Saima
Yes, it helps to know that I've not missed them!. Thank you very much.
With all due respect, the Press Release in January 2010 said that they'd be aired this year and being December 6th now, there's not many days left.....
You would have told us if you had known, so could you instead give a best estimate of approx when this info will become common knowledge for us Boarders. Or should we ask the Schedulers and/or rant on POV again? (Rather not.)
Hope that's not too big an ask Saima. In all fairness, you're probably kept in the dark as much as we are.
Thanks in anticipation, Pete.

Hi Pete
They've not been scheduled into the 2011 calendar just yet, but once we have a date we'll let you know.
Another one to look out for in the new year will be Carol's Klein's, Life in a Cottage Garden.

Saima,
It sounds as if you have been listening, well not you alone but the powers that be in the ivory towers of the Beeb.
A wishy washy two years of GW and then a splurge of garden programmes that not only keep me awake but fully engaged.
As Usual I disagree with Rowena as I love Sarah Raven and can take Monty in small doses so will look forward to the programmes.
I still think it a dastardly plot to keep me awake when my eyes are wanting to close for the five minutes I need if I am to get the Telegram from HM and then live on for a while causing mayhem on the boards.

"Ahem" as I posted I knew it was LOWENA and not ROWENA apologies all round and now wait one minute four seconds before I post.
Memo must type slower.

Phew......I was just going to throw my toys from my pram, when I read your second post Frank
Good news about another programme from Carol

Lowena,
Now dont you be throwing your toys out, keep them in the boxes and you could be on the Antiques Road Show in fifty years time, now there would be a thrill for you even if you did not like Fiona although fifty years from now? Fiona could be on her zimmer frame.

Ha,ha, Frank.....and I don't mind Fiona I really do wish I'd kept some of the things from my youth, when I see what things fetch at "antiques and collectors" fairs!!
Speak soon

I'm with you, what a dreadful combination!

Hello Saima and thank you for getting back on the query.
I'm a bit disappointed and can't get my head round the length of time it takes from first notice of these programmes in a Ö÷²¥´óÐã PR release dated January 2010 to March 2011 and neither series still not scheduled.
The workings of the Ö÷²¥´óÐã are beyond the ken of this ordinary mortal, but thanks for getting back anyway.
Will try again in six months
Pete

Saima - interestingly I've just read Monty Don's article in the Daily Telegraph posted this evening about his forthcoming Italian Gardens programme, which starts on Wednesday 13 April on Ö÷²¥´óÐã2 at 9 pm.
Thought you'd like to know.
