A six-part TV series of this has been made and was shown in Australia a few
months ago.  It is actually filmed in the real locations, and even showed
some TB's in the London garden square and the work of an English botanical
artist who was painting the irises there (in incredible detail.)  

There is also a six-part TV series of The Quest for The Rose with Phillips
and Rix, which I have also seen.
