I think its nice to see people who do occasionally stuff things up (they are human after all), but I don't like the general feel of a lot of these competitive shows. Its interesting to hear the inside goss on the pre-show lessons. I had no idea.Bekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02225621037420851059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4172003914969783059.post-52890001393008310132015-06-01T10:33:01.505+10:002015-06-01T10:33:01.505+10:00oh lizzy, exactly (and thanks for the nice words)....oh lizzy, exactly (and thanks for the nice words).

Although there's an allotment one in this country now, "The Great British Allotment Challenge". The first series was done in pairs, so you could do it all with a friend. But the second series was for solo competitors. Maybe that would be the one for you, when it gets to your corner of the world..?
