Bloomin’ ambitions with Vic Reeves

Think of Netflix’s charming, cheering, colourful show as The Great British BloomOff. Comedians Natasia Demetriou and

Vic Reeves are the hosts and, over eight episodes, ten teams of amateur gardeners compete to create ever more ambitious flower sculptures. Reeves and Demetriou have genuine empathy with the contestants, who are an eccentric but hugely talented bunch from several countries. ‘Florist to the stars’ Kristen Griffith-VanderYacht judges their creations and decides who continues and who gets sent to the compost heap. The winning duo gets the chance to design an installation for Kew Gardens. ‘It’s not Gardeners’ World,’ says Reeves. ‘It’s punk rock gardening.’
