Comedy by clever Nick Warburton, starring James Fleet as Edward. He's timid, bashful. Passing local allotments one day he speaks to attractive Amanda (Joanna Monro) and decides there and then that he must get an allotment too. But first he has to be interviewed by fierce site manager Bernie (Jonathan Coy).

A way through the resulting confrontational suddenly opens when Bernie learns Edward's father was a noted local horticulturist he's admired all his life. Whew! Yes there's another surprise for all in store. And there will be three more in the series.
