Digging for Victory TV prog

[dexterdoglancashire]

Just seen an advert for "Digging for Victory" on UK TV Gardens 10pm tomorrow (Friday) 1st June. May be worth watching? Bernie

Really not sure LJ - it was a brief advert inbetween James Martin growing his own. Victorian Kitchen Garden next! Yipee! Gotta make the most of sky as its being cut off on the 15th June - too expensive! Gosh, I'm going to miss my cooking/gardening programmes! Ah well. Bernie

Just booked it Thanks for info. My only problem now is trying to stay awake to actually watch it.

I turned most of Sky off after watching the cricket world cup. gosh we're pants! Got fed up with paying for it. Anyhow did not have the heart to turn off kiddies and gardening...Even with a basic package there seems to be very few channels now -you'd have thought you would get the free-view channels from 4 or something but no! not from pay-by-nose Sky! Then, the telly went to a tiny white dot!...so now reduced to old 14" telly. Do you know -when the weather is fine its better to be gardening and then chatting about it here...all you need to know!...oh yeah, theres the work and kids to fit in!!!

I also have a snooze off in the chair problem these days.
Luckily, most UK gardens stuff is repeated at ten the next morning... and can, if your as lucky as me, be timed to coincide with a cunning tea-break.

Thanks for the heads up Bernie! I shall be keenly awaiting Phil's debut. Did Lesley persuade him to get a plug for the vine in there?

OH has just cancelled my reminder for that prog. Grounds for divorce?!

[dexterdoglancashire]

Guess who fell asleep? Bernie

[Paulottie]

Yep, and the repeat was on at 8am today not 10! it maybe on again at midday if its not the next episode..

I quite enjoyed it!- before falling asleep infront of VKG. Liked the fella showing the schoolkids his plot and making them soup etc.

Glorious day here, no time for telly...happy digging, harvesting and weeding folks!

My other half was hogging the TV with the satellite so i missed it as well.

Perhaps we can ship them both off together to the colonies and get a discount..?

you did not miss much rather boring jacob

[dexterdoglancashire]

Caught a few minutes of the prog at lunchtime (break from the lottie) to be fair, was glad I hadnt stayed awake - but you never know it could and probably will, get better next week. Bernie

I watched Monday's and then yesterday's (Derby) - I'm sure that's Phil the Shed's allotment isn't it - Phil, were you on it?

But, a wierd thing, the programme both nights seemed to end very abruptly - Hannah and what's his name go off into their 'judgely huddle' to discuss the plots, and halfway through a sentence, the adverts for Roundup suddenly comes on. Is it just me or the channel's timing. (I taped the prog on Sky Plus?) Odd

[jacob marley]

Can any body tell if they learnt any thing from this program i personally think it's a right load of old tossjacob

[dexterdoglancashire]

No jacob I didn't! won't be watching it tonight! - need my sleep! Bernie

[Dobby]

like i siad to Mrs D I think its a bit of a wet fart.
and agree with muckdiva about it ending very abruptly
also they play the sameting I think there is really only about 15 min of new stuff or is it just me dont know if I will be staying up tonight to see it

[seasprout]

Not good.

Been recording this in the daytime, and the editing is awful, in mid-dialogue the programme ends.

Wet Fart is putting it mildliy, wont bother wasting a DVD disk on this one.
