The photos are from the 2007 Gardener of the Year show, which was transmitted on BBC2, 14th December. It was recorded at the Royal Horticultural Society’s Wisley garden. The programme began in 1999, and was a competition to find the best amateur gardener in the country.

The top photo shows producer Andy Vernon briefing the contestants, with series producer, Rosemary Edwards in black T-shirt, in the centre. It looks like Gavin Barclay on camera.

The second photo shows the jib camera recording one of the challenges facing the contestants.

The final photo shows an identification round set in the herbaceous border. Floor manager Marco Di Giorgio, far left, presenter Joe Swift (next but one), Len Kerswill (stripey top), next to producer Andy Vernon, Ben Harris, next to Andy.
