Prick, the London cactus shop, is featured in episode 3 (albeit, fairly briefly).

If you've not seen the programme it is well worth a watch. It is "a competition" in the sense there will be a winner, but none of the contestants are eliminated as would be the norm.

Re: Cacti on TV - Rankin's Photography programme
Been really enjoying this series Chris. The cactus assignment was not the team's greatest success though. One had a poor concept well executed. The other had a great concept but poorly executed - I had expected, from his pitch, pretty much what the client had envisaged but did not get.

Re: Cacti on TV - Rankin's Photography programme
Having an amateur interest in photography myself I've been following the series too, and it has been a worthwhile watch. My ears pricked up (pardon the pun!) when I heard they would be visiting that cacti shop, but I thought what got produced rather disappointing... Wouldn't you have thought the two contestants, as part of their homework/ research, might have had a look at the heavily illustrated book that the lady proprietress of the shop had published?...
