Alan Titchmarsh has had a passion for gardening for as long as he can remember. Aged eight, he announced to friends that he was going to be the next Percy Thrower, although he thought it was no more than a dream.

Along the way, the cast of characters includes everyone from Auntie Ethel to Nelson Mandela and the Queen.
