May I confess to not being quite as upset as many people at the loss of
first-class cricket by BBC Television, principally because it will give
viewers a chance to see the three new series I have devised. These
consist of 26 programmes on gardening, 26 on travel and 26 on cooking,
with a Christmas special in which a well-known gardener is invited to
take a celebrity chef to some glamorous location and cook him.
