I produced and directed this gardening programme at DNTV2 in 1972.
Peter Dewrance, UK
Hosted by Charles Joye
Most TV gardeners are real gardeners, but Charles was no gardening expert and never claimed to be. “Green Fingers” was largely a comedy based on the device of a gangly-but-lovable presenter joking his way through the horticultural maze with the help of various long-suffering experts.
The script of every episode would be roughed out by your archetypal man-of-the soil, Gordon, who also made regular appearances on location. Charles and I would polish the script, and we would record the show as-live in a cramped DNTV studio in the Garrison Hall in Dowling Street. No editing!
