I didn't see that Gardener's World, but I know Bob has been on there more
than once - If he was large, bearded and opinionated, then it was him - and
I'm sure he wouldn't mind the description! If you ever get the chance to
hear him lecture (and for our American friends, I think he visits the States
from time to time) jump at it - he will make you laugh and think as well.
And his nursery, if you can find it, has a really exciting range of plants
at quite reasonable prices. But if you visit, ring for directions first - I
dragged my poor husband round and round for ages looking for it and
eventually had to ring them for help!
