  Did not see it listed- supposed to be on bbc2 at some point so may have been postponed-perhaps in the gw slot in a few weeks?

  Found this -
  
  Last Saturday I had two chappies come and advise me on making nest sites for swifts, swallows and house martins. One of them thought you can only attract local insects with native plants so I showed him my new Insect Towers which has sedumsplanted on its roof for nectar and also some not so native plants in tehgarden just buzzing with insects.
  
  Four kinds of bee on one sedum spectabile plus butterflies on verbena bonariensis and a shield bug sitting on a leaf of phlomis russeliana. We can all do our bit to help insects by providing some shelter, not being too tidy in the autum clear up, leaving a pile of deciduous wood for critters such as stag beetles (they don't like conifers) and having nectar available all year from snowdrops and crocuses in spring to sedums and Michaelmas daisies in autumn.

  You see I was reading this which actually gives a date and time for it to be shown.
  
  I've noticed a lot of butterflies around these past feew days, they're loving my Buzz Buddlea and the VB as you say. They're more attracted to those than the lovely Sedum for some reason.

  It did give specific dates but it hasn't been on yet, I don't know why!
