[Photo caption] Natural phenomena: Gardeners' World Live looks at the latest in garden designs

Gardeners' World Live 6.00pm BBC2
It's been a bumper crop for telly gardeners this year. The coverage is a testament to just how popular this leisure activity has become. This latest offering is a report from the NEC in Birmingham where Gardeners' World opened its sixth national flower and garden hootenanny to the public yesterday.
No longer the sole domain of the retired, gardening has become trendy. So trendy in fact that one of this programme's presenters used to be a catwalk model. Ali Ward, now a garden designer, joins Nick Owen and Diarmuid Gavin in a tour of what's good and great in the garden this year.

Factual: Doctors at Large 8.30pm BBC2
This first of the BBC docu-soaps (so now you know who to blame) follows two doctors this week who have felt compelled to make a career change, though still within the medical profession. Presumably, it would be mad to waste all those arduous years of training.
John Shephard, aged 40, has moved into management, taking charge of a small medical charity. But is NHS management the best role model for the aspiring suit-and-tie? And Will Liddell makes a possibly temporary sideways move from his GP work to delve into diabetes research, a field that is troubled by lack of funds and by plugs being pulled at inopportune moments. Nothing is simple, particularly in medicine.
