This is just advance warning: next week we’ll be bringing you some footage that might cause involuntary head-tilts, raised pulses and the irresistible urge to hug someone, while buying flowers.

Benedict Cumberbatch will be helping the BBC to launch their coverage of this year’s Chelsea Flower Show next Monday (May 19), with a little assistance from his mum, Wanda Ventham.

The pair join presenters Monty Don and Joe Swift to discuss their own memories of the garden show, which is organized by the Royal Horticultural Society and held every May in the grounds of the Royal Hospital Chelsea in London.

The show is always a big talking point, with gardeners taking enormous pains to create great displays of their horticultural handiwork. And I’m sure we’ll find out exactly what the nature (no pun intended) of link between Benedict, Wanda and the show may be on Monday.
