Curious because we live in an age in which the TV schedules are dominated by achievement television. At least English TV schedules seem to be.

Yesterday evening I was horrified to see that even 'Gardeners' World' has fallen into the achievement telly programme trap. "If you think Mrs X should win Gardener of the Week award, add 02 to the phone number". Frightful. I used to look on Gardeners' World as a bastion of middle-class English television at it's shining best.
