If you enjoyed the adventures of Dick Strawbridge and his family as they faced up to the reality of building an eco-friendly life in the country, you'll be pleased to hear you can catch up with them again tomorrow when a new series of It's Not Easy Being Green starts on BBC2.
If, like me, you were left dumbstruck and just a little daunted by the sheer scale of what the Strawbridge clan managed to achieve in series 1, you might find their new project a bit more applicable to your own life. This time around, Dick and son James (who, I can reveal, is already getting down to some topless allotment-digging in episode one, girls) come to the aid of ordinary people who want to adopt a greener lifestyle. From the couple on the verge of ploughing £750,000 into a fully self-sufficient house to the family learning about home-grown veg to imrpove their child's health, the series should make engaging and educational viewing.
