middlemoo says
Cecil Henry Middleton was a gardener, writer and one of the earliest radio and television broadcasters on gardening for the BBC. 'Mr Middleton' broadcast in Britain during the 1930s and 40s, especially in relation to the "Dig for Victory" campaign during the Second World War. By 1940, 3.5 million listeners were tuning in to hear Middleton's 15 minute talks. Many of his wartime talks also appeared in print.
