    Me too.  Always has gorgeous perennials and great structure in his planting schemes and garden designs.

    I See the BBC are doing their bit for political correctness with the presenters this year 👍👍👍
    You really have to give this a rest. Keep on making this comment when anyone non white shows up on GW every other week..."political correctness" is a way for the racists to signal how their worldview is not espoused by others. It's not political correctness to invite representatives of different ethnicities, just common sense. Apologies if one black face out of twenty was too hard to deal with.

    Don't seek to cause trouble and attention by making silly aqusations georgieboy, your old enough to know better. People come here to chat all things gardening get advice and identifications and not the political rubbish that festers on social media sites. As someone who is married to a wonderful lady who was born and raised in Mauritius and is by no means white I take offence by your talking codswallop, blimey our 3 kids are a lot darker than myself but I can't love them because of my non white agenda. Sos George Sos. Is it possible to mute people's messages on here or block them because I'm fed up with you ? Anyway best get back to being with my none white wife if that's OK with you

    I think the presenters are doing a great job, but I really miss Nicki Chapman. Wishing her a speedy recovery and hope to have her back next year. 
    The Rich brothers are funny, but isn’t it time to let go of that mustache 😄😄

    I think they are all doing a fantastic job. I would like to see Alan Titchmarsh on but not sure if he's BBC

    Not a fan of AT ... he knows his stuff and he used to be ok but he’s become excruciatingly obsequious when interviewing folk ... shame. 

    Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.

    I think the Rich brothers are doing a good job considering they are not professional presenters. They were definitely less nervous yesterday, and Harry seems to have got out of the habit of saying "cool" after someone has answered his question (l have probably spoken too soon now !). They do know what's involved in creating a show garden, which helps. 
    I would have liked Chis Beardshaw to have won Best in Show, but it is all subjective. I found the use of materials in his garden plus the use of electric diggers, very interesting. The items showing the builds over the weeks, such as the Dubai garden last night, these are the things l find interesting. 
    I also thought the camera work this year has improved, less whizzing about (technical term there). 
    The interview with the RHS judges never seems long enough, it would be good if they could devote time to each garden and explain why it got gold, silver gilt or whatever.

    Never seen much of the rich brother's and yes they are doing a fantastic job. I've enjoyed every bit of the Chelsea flower show, even the part where celebrities who are interviewed say they have no interest in gardening 😂😂😂 the mind boggles. Frances is also doing a great job 
  • AnniDAnniD Posts: 12,585
    Yes, l forgot about Frances 🙄. She seems a natural presenter, very calm.

    I'll second that.  "Once you can fake sincerity, you've got it made" seems to fit the bill perfectly.  I really enjoyed him in the early years when he was 'just' a gardener, but people change.
