I just take the ultimate action, and I find myself doing it more and more these days, switch the thing off and put the radio on.

I don't find her too bad - I'm sure I saw her rushing through the shopping centre in Huddersfield just before Christmas but I often think I have seen people when I haven't.

I think the program has improved a bit but it still seems to be compulsory to show 5 minutes of Toby Buckland digging a hole then putting a plant in it. I would have thought most viewers would have got the hang of doing that by now. Watching on i-player and fast forwarding is best for me.

When does Beechgrove start up again???

The BBC removed both my comments about GW but left my comments saying Beechgrove was a better programme to watch.  ???

It was due to start on the 31st March but has been re-scheduled for the next week, I believe.

How many redheads wearing Dame Edna specs can there be in the UK?

On which channel is "Beechgrove"?

I've never seen it but have seen comments on it  posted here on the forum.

It's on BBC Scotland, starting 7th April, Paddy.
If  you have Sky TV you  should be able to get it on one of the "extra" BBC channels, 976 or such like,(Mark will confirm the number, I'm sure)
I don't think you can get it in i-player in the Republic of Ireland, can you?
