The sad bit is as I'm in New York on the 15th but hopefully will be back in time to do a write-up of the first episode before the second episode on 22nd October - because I watch via the very nifty TV App! (see my post about how to watch if you don't have Sky).

The Sky Arts Team never ever broadcast the heats in the same order as they film them. I'm guessing they want to go for a good one for the first episode to get people hooked - and also to finish with a good one!
The timetabling of the Heats is going to be interesting given that Kate was having her baby in one of the ones in Gateshead! I think I've worked out the sequence based on what people have said so far.
This is my best guess at the timeline for all you #LAOTY2019 fans - so you can get your diaries sorted! Plus I've been able to identify a few of the artists involved - or at least those active on social media!
- 15 October Heat 1: Smeaton Tower - on Plymouth Hoe in Plymouth - filmed on 19 June (very sunny)
Lots of fun going to watch @SkyArts filming Landscape Artist of the Year on @PlymHoe this afternoon. You’ll have to watch the show to see the amazing artwork! #LAOTY pic.twitter.com/yRGTDP5IkZ— Darren Hartley (@darren_hartley) 19 June 2019
