    he speaks in that whisper they use on Eastenders.

    Oh my god I agree. A bit too much gesticulation and design speak for me. Lots of space, lines and borrowed landscape

    Is I suppose if you have young children then you would either avoid such water features altogether or ensure they are covered over with a secure metal mesh if some kind, rather like you can do with ponds.
    I enjoyed his presentation too, and think he will make a good presenter, and seeing his cat and dog! However, I do hope that Monty isn't preparing to retire just yet

    Monty's only gone to the USA at TV licence payers expense to make a new program on US gardens he will be back and I don't see him going yet not for what he gets paid for a few hours work per week plus expenses, no one honestly believes he pays for all those plants do they??

    Or the array of fancy tools he uses.  No direct advertising, but some are so specialised there are very few potential suppliers.

    I enjoyed the Adam show.  Much better than the usual fare because I like the open-ness of Adam's garden and the planting up of new spaces - far more relevant to most of us I should think.  Monty is always squeezing stuff in and we never see it again.  Also good to see some healthy box for once.

    Chappy with the house plants was interesting and informative, especially for the increasing number of people with no outside growing space but I have to ask how many of those people would watch GW in the first place.

    Bees and trees interesting too but a bit long.  I thought the John Brookes segment missed the point.

    From what I recall of the US gardens shown Monty's round the world in 80 gardens series, I have no expectation of being informed, or entertained by the new series but he can go back for more filming/editing/research as often as he likes.

    What I wanted to investigate was the practicalities of watering feeding dusting and de-cobwebbing all those houseplants suspended from the ceiling
