BBC's Grow your own show

[Mikey]

Now then, how many of you peeps would put yourself on telly to be ridiculed ala joe swift. Not I, I'd happily be in a magazine but be on telly oh no sir, I'm really not that photogenic.

Seriously how many considered Bens top thread, and thought better of it, or how many are keen as mustard?

[Tracey]

No, I wouldn't even consider it. But, the're are a few interesting characters on this forum that would help to inspire people to grow their own. I'd watch

[HeyWayne]

I looked at it - but don't really fall into any of the required criteria.

Thought I'd save the licence fee paying public the expense of the BBC researcher vetting me out.

Good luck to anyone that does go for it though, I think it's a great opportunity.

*wonders if growing veg in your front garden and having bright red hair now... is considered colourful?

Hey dude, the earl of bedfordshire allotmenteering, come on, we'd all watch!

Umm......Is it coloured or au naturel? You're not charlie dimmock are you?

C'mon, we wanna see a new avatar!

[Flummery]

I wouldn't do it. After the things I've said (or the even worse things I've thought) about TV presenters, interviewees etc on gardening programmes. Who'd willingly put themselves up there to be shot down. Just about anything you could say, someone else will say "Oh, no it isn't!"
Anyway, I'm not photogenic. I've cured 3 Peeping Toms!

I'm not photogenic, nor do I fit into any of those categories. Definitely watch tho if some you other guys got on.

ha, ha, ha, I like it MOM. Puts a whole new meaning on the saying, 'Early bird catches the worm'.

I was in enough terror the other day after a request from BBC Magazines for a photo of me, apparently it is a new thing now.

They might print my comments and they want a picture of me as well.

Sent one of me disguised in the climbing beans.

I vote pigletwillie.

Naah, photos have been around for at least 12 years!

Not a chance!!I'm presumoing once you've got your head around the fact that you'll be "appearing"on telly~they'll then expect you to open your mouth & say something!!~was there a category for "grinning village idiot"?

[kentvegplot]

Nope, not interesting enough. Just an ordinary person doing an ordinary thing....why do we have to have 'colourful characters'? Couldn't we just (heaven forefend) have people who know what they're doing??

[SarzWix]

I'd do it, if I could have a paper bag on my head the whole time
