These photos show Kerry Richardson editing ‘Gardeners’ World’, with some gusto, with editor, Ian Collins.
Gardeners’ World was produced at Pebble Mill until around 1990, when it became an independent production made by Catalyst television. Kerry worked on Gardeners’ World for a number of years, and in fact still works on gardening programmes to this day. BBC editors like Ian, were employed to edit Gardeners’ World, and the online editing was done at Pebble Mill, and then at the Mailbox.
Gardeners’ World came back to BBC Birmingham after re-pitching for the series when Alan Titchmarsh finished presenting it, and Monty Don took over in 2003.
The production offices for Gardeners’ World when Catalyst produced it were situated in King’s Heath Park, where some of the gardening was also done.
