According to the Daily Mail

Nicki Chapman is presenting the coverage of the Chelsea Flower Show for the BBC and was on some other show sbefore.

When the gates to the Chelsea Flower Show are thrown open today, thousands of keen gardeners will head into the showground hoping to glean some ideas for their own plots back home.

Among those seeking inspiration will be Nicki Chapman. However, the down-to-earth television presenter is not after a classical sculpture, fancy greenhouse or the latest must-have plants. She’s looking for something far more mundane - a garden shed.

‘I’m in great need of some outdoor storage space and would quite like a shed. I’ll be looking around the show for something attractive and clever that can be pushed into a corner of my garden,’ says Nicki, 42.

Of course we know that the garden shed is not mundane at all.

I will hopefully be talking about Sheds and the Shed of the year Competition, unless they want me to talk about swineflu, which I doubt it, on the Shân Cothi show this Sunday 3rd of May in the 10-12 time frame - probably before 11..

Join Shân Cothi Sunday mornings from 10am-12 Noon for music and chat.

Soprano Shân Cothi has performed throughout the world in a variety of venues, from the Wales Millennium Centre to Her Majesty’s Theatre in the West End, where she took the role of Carlotta in Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Phantom Of The Opera.
Shân is no stranger to broadcasting, having had her own show on S4C as well as three series of ‘Cothi’s Classics’ for BBC Radio Wales.

I will be on the phone as it’s of course the closing day for entries into Shed of the year 2009 and I will be busy helping you sheddies get those images online as I expect a big shedcrash!

I was hoping to embed some great shed related clips, but looks like it’s only some content (as andy mentioned technology stuff) that would get digged and socialised up.. so, cmon BBC do some shed videos soon, so us UK license payers can show off the embed thing.

Smallbrainfield a b3tan, has done a great little ’shop of the cost cuts over at the BBC, of course Shed.TV does not even have that budget…

bbcnews shed from Smallbrainfield

If you are easily offended then maybe b3ta is not for you

The Challenge was

CREDIT CRUNCH TV
To mark the news that ITV is shedding 600 jobs, open up Photoshop and suggest cheaper versions of well known TV and Radio shows, showing how today’s credit crunch will affect tomorrow’s television.

Hopefully yours truly (uncle wilco) will be on the Chris Evan’s drive time show on BBC Radio 2 today around 5.25pm and we will be joined by wonderful shed Judge & Sheddie favorite Sarah Beeny.

I will mainly trying to get the listeners to add more great sheds to readersheds.co.uk, for this year’s Shed of the Year competition but will also talking to Chris about his role as a judge..

If I sound a bit odder (than normal,that’s the Welsh accent), then that’s my cold (lurgy left from Xmas), but bear with me.

Even though its my third time on the show, I will be nervous, as I never thought my little idea of looking at pictures of peoples sheds would reach such a big audience 5 million people apparently! now if only 5% of those who had a shed put it on the site, we would truly have a lot of sheds (maths never my strong point)

Anyway if you are reading this post and did not understand a word of what I was saying, then here’s some FAQ’s.

Smallbeerfruit on the Beach owner martin will be on BBC Radio Norfolk, Today around midday and 12.30

Just thought I’d let you know that Radio Norfolk have just interviewed me and Charlie about our sheds and cider production. It’ll be on the radio between midday and 12.30.

Just another thought I now know of a few sheddies that produce cider in their sheds!, now I need to get one of those big tubes to link to their cider vats!
