Default Identify the gardening program ?

Hi,

I've been asked if I can find the name of a TV show. I'm going to post the description exactly as it was given to me, I'd be really grateful for any ideas anyone can come up with because I'm stumped.

-----------

Hi, My husband and I used to watch a programme about ten years ago
presented by a guy and his dog called Tip(?) with a helper. They would
turn up in the guy's old landrover and he looked like he should have
been a victorian farmer. They used to go to small gardens and tidy
them up. It was shown on a satellite channel. Any ideas?? Thank you,

Follow up
It was definately a UK show somewhere around the London area. He was about 40 and tended to wear a barbour jacket, he had fairish coloured curly hair.
My husband and I are starting to think we imagined it.

Hi Julie Q,
I think the programme you were thinking about was called something like "The Green Room" and as far as i can remember, the main bloke was called "Simon" blah blah blah??? (double barreled name) but his helpers name was "Ryan" i think
Little Gardens/Back yards were his speciality?????

Hope this jogs your memory cheers stupo.

Hi, Me Again

After a little more "snooping"

The programme you were looking for had two names at different times???

These were, "The Green Room as mentioned, and the other was "Gardens Unplugged"

The main chaps name was, Simon Harrison Knibbs, his mate was Ryan.

He always looked as though he had just recovered from a session on the "Cider",,, and did they not always celebrate with a bottle of wine/champers at the end?????

Happy Days, cheers stupo.

Sorry it took so long for me to reply - for some reason I didn't get a reply notification email.
