You wouldn't expect the BBC to ever have to apologise for Alan Titchmarsh swearing on live TV, but it sort of happened this morning (June 23).
BBC Breakfast said sorry to TV viewers after Titchmarsh mentioned "bastard trenching". However, he wasn't speaking of his hate for trenching, it is a legitimate gardening term.
"I don't double dig every day - digging to two spades' depth. There's another name for it, and it sounds terrible, but it's called bastard trenching," he said. "By the end of it you realise that's a very fitting name for it."
Host Louise Minchin later said: "Thank you very much. And I just have to offer our apologies for the language used in the last couple of minutes. Apologies if people were offended."
"Oh no, no," Titchmarsh replied. "It's a term in a gardening book. I shan't repeat it but it's not offensive at all."
As it turned out,...
