- Television series following the restoration of a largely derelict walled garden at Chilton Lodge, Berkshire. The aim was to work the garden as it would have been in the Victorian era, using plants and practices from this period. Each episode follows a month of the year, and shows the tasks undertaken.
- This 8-part series takes readers back to the days when Hitler's U-boats patrolled the Atlantic, and imported foods were scarce. For the men, woman and children left behind during World War II, life changed dramatically. People who had never gardened before had to start growing their own fruit and vegetables, housewives had to cope with rationing, and their families had to get used to unfamiliar foods such as spam and nettle soup. Includes the personal memories of Ruth Mott and Harry Dodson (television's "Victorian" cook and gardener, respectively), as well as tales and anecdotes from many people who remember wartime cookery and "digging for victory".
- Television series recreating the workings of a country house head cook.
- A pleasant show about Victorian Flower Gardening.
- Lorna Moon is 17. She goes to school, likes parties, and lives with her mother and her little brother Jamie. Life should be pretty simple right? Except of course, for the messy divorce of her parents, and her desire to hide her growing eating disorder - oh, and the unwanted attentions of a trio of cruel bullies. And most disturbingly of all, her growing suspicion that all is not as it seems in her bedroom at home, a ghostly apparition that appears to her in her mirror. Tormented and terrified, she begins to call her own sanity into question (naturally, there are no such things as ghosts. . . ) Young and vulnerable Lorna Moon has a secret. Feeling alone and with no one to turn to, she finds herself being powerfully drawn to a man whose love she should never hope to have - a man fast turning out not to be all he seems. And then there's the mysterious next-door neighbor, a reclusive, creepy old man, who knows more than he is willing to say. As this pulsating tale draws to its nerve-wracking climax, will he reveal his awful secret in time to save Lorna's life?
- Mr. Dodson is in his late 70s and has been called upon to teach the commoners a thing or two about the old walled gardens of England. He's a heartwarming and fascinating character who takes you on a journey of the small Victorian flower garden. Although only 8 half-hour episodes it's jam packed with invaluable lessons on growing beautiful incredible flowers. Just loving flowers is enough to enjoy the series, and if you love to garden you simply cannot call yourself a gardener if you haven't watched all of the "Victorian" series. In this one, Mr. Dodson takes on the task of restoring an old Victorian garden. With just a helper or two he shows us simple concepts of growing plants that are long lost. The other episodes in the series are as wonderful and are all perfect for those who love to learn of old ways of living. He makes you realize how much we whine today about doing just a bit of work, and yet this aged gentleman can work circles around anyone today.
