TV Garden Inspiration?

I'm feeling a bit lacking in garden inspiration at the moment and wondered if anyone knows of any gardening TV shows available online to watch? Missing the good old days of ground force and the old garden makeover shows, and can't seem to find much to watch online, have already seen Real Gardens and the City Gardener on the CH4 website. Hoping there'll be some good new shows this year :)

    Well you have the flag ship Garden's World on Fridays or Beechgrove Garden on BBC2 on Sunday mornings.

    GW is okay but I think Beechgrove is far better.

    Google Ground force/Gardeners World Youtube, there's dozens of old episodes available.

    Also Alan Titchmarsh did a series called something like garden secrets? It wasn't great but took you to people's gardens and there were some nice ideas then

    I was just going to find out when Beechgrove Garden is on! Thank you.

    I like listening to gardeners question time on radio 4, very interesting and quite funny too :).

    I'm also looking for garden design inspiration thanks for the suggestions. I can only find 'the best of' Ground force and 'water features' on Youtube. Can anyone tell me if I'm looking in the wrong place please? I've also found some old Geoff Hamilton clips which I thoroughly enjoyed... :T
    The beautiful thing about learning is nobody can take it away from you.
