Going To Chelsea

Synopsis
Commissioned as part of ITV's prestigious 'Network First' series, Going To Chelsea is an intriguing behind-the-scenes look at a year in the life of a garden in the lead up to the 1996 Chelsea Flower Show. We follow designer Stephen Woodhams in his second bid for a prestigious Gold Medal. After months of hard work - raising sponsorship, trips to Italy, run-ins with the RHS - the big day finally arrives. Stephen is a bundle of nerves. But before the Judges' decisions are made public, he has time to meet the press and to chat to the cast of MEN BEHAVING BADLY - and Her Majesty the Queen...



Press Comments
"As we follow the blood, sweat and tears that transform [Stephen's] design into reality, the true nature of Chelsea is revealed. Wry use of excellent music, Zoë Wanamaker's soothing narration and the sheer niceness of Stephen make this a blooming wonderful little film." (The Times)

"A great insight into the four-day wonder that is the Flower Show." (Daily Telegraph)
