I missed it when it was first aired and i missed it again last night as i was exhausted and fell asleep.

Kicking myself now and im determined to catch it next week.

Ive had a search round the net to see if that or any of the river cottage series are being streamed but ive had no joy finding them.

I think I must be completely stupid because I've looked and looked at BBC2 on Mondays at 7.30 and I can't find it listed.

I have seen it online somewhere - I'll see if I can find out where it was. It wouldn't work for me though. Could have been my internet connection though.

Watched `It`s not Easy - -` first time round so wasn`t going to watch it again but I succumbed last night for the `greenhouse` episode.
Very interesting and I did enjoy it again but the Dad still infuriates me a bit. He`s SO sarky to his wife and kids and I think that he must collect half his food in his moustache.

However - - it`s better than a bland, sitcom type family. More real I suppose. Guess I`ll carry on watching the repeats

yeh some of their ideas are interesting.. but.. i cant help thinking how much easier it is to be green if you have the budget they have , and afford to support a load of students through the summer. and no one has a job to go to as well...

-it does help!

It would be easy to be cynical about the programme, but overall I reckon they did a damned good job - it took loads of research to achieve what they did, and to give up your privacy is a big step! I reckon it got more people "thinking green', which has got to be good!

ps, lay off us grotesquely over-moustached blokes!!!!!!!!

Hmmm... I think David is trying to be him too - moustache and all!!
