Gardeners' Question Time is one of the crown jewels of Radio 4. For many of the network's listeners the weekend would not be the same without GQT joining the family for Sunday lunch. For more than 50 years the programme has toured the UK, dispensing horticultural wit and wisdom. Here, in an updated repeat of a programme first broadcast in 2000, Eric Robson looks back over more than half a century of gardening advice. The programme chronicles not only the changes in our gardens but in our society.
It took 30 years for a woman to be accepted on the panel - today some editions of the programme feature an all-female team of experts and, more recently, GQT has even been chaired by women. What would Fred Loades , Bill Sowerbutts and Professor Alan Gemmel have made Of that? Producer Trevor Taylor
