BBC Two - Britain in Bloom, Series 1, Oakham

Chris Bavin helps the Oakham Bloomers who are going for gold despite major roadworks.

Chris Bavin meets the Bloomers from Oakham in Rutland who are determined to embrace construction work disrupting their town with a roadwork-themed entry.

Chris Bavin heads to the historic market town of Oakham in Rutland where the Bloomers are having to cope with major roadworks around the town. They can't avoid them, so the team has decided to embrace the construction with a roadworks-themed Bloom entry. They aim to fill their windows with planted-up traffic cones and hard hats. At the showcase library gardens, they hope to fill the beds with traffic light-coloured blooms. Finally, they're engaging the wider community to produce bespoke planters to green up the centre. But this community knows all too well that things can go wrong at any time - last year they were hit with a scandal involving slugs that threatened to scupper the whole competition.
