There actually has been a programme dedicated to allotmenting. It's down-to-earth, shows new plot holders and experienced ones, money saving ideas and all sorts. You can buy the DVDs as a 3-DVD set. I have it and it's great

I always go on youtube and put in allotments and narrow search to this week. There is always a couple of people doing tours of there and giing out abit of advice. Also "allotment alys" is a good youtube search. Ayls fowler (edible garden) has an allotment and does short clips of what she is doing.Comment

Well, there certainly seems to be a market for something along the lines of a tv programme. I dont know about you all but I would like to see a programme on about 8pm when I have cooked dinner and cleared up and sat down with a cup of tea. And without moans a groans from my husband who is bored by the whole thing. I think that is a big wish list especially the timings. One thjng I dont want is an afternoon programme when I am down on the lottie. I know some of us have the internet but many havent. As I say it is a big wish list, would be nice if it was attainable.Slowly takes it!Comment

Yes it's got to be on when it's dark so that people wouldn't be out on the plot.Comment

Dear All
Thank you for all of your comments regarding this thread.
I have just now sent a comunication to three TV productions companies and two to the BBC. I hope we get a reply but I am not holding my breath. I have included some of your comments (deleted your names etc).
Keep your fingers crossed, even when your working on the lottie.
Hopefully be in touch

A short while ago there was a TV programme called "Allotment Wars" didn't see it myself as I don't have a television and never got round to watching it on iPlayer - Heard it was more of a fake reality type show. Programme makers on all chanels are only interested in ratings and allotments will only ever be a minority sport, but with the right celebrity face it could work."...Very dark, is the other side, very dark."

That wasn't a programme, that was utter crud and an insult to our intelligenceOriginally posted by Olorin2001 View PostComment

But thankfully it appears to have been a one off rather than a whole series.......Originally posted by Aberdeenplotter View Post
Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.
Which one are you and is it how you want to be?Comment

You clearly have a different view on a good watch - it was just people set up to argue with each other and no focus on the actual normal growing on a lottie at allOriginally posted by lottie dolly View Post
