and live on Freeview channel 276
Run by Egton Bridge Old Gooseberry Society, the annual competition aims to find the heaviest berries in four different colour classes plus twin berries and the heaviest dozen and half dozen.
Believed to have been first held in 1800 (maybe even earlier), the show continues to uphold the traditions of competitive gooseberry growing.
