    That's why there are things like Britbox which make BBC and ITV available outside the EU trade area but not yet worldwide.

    Monty has said, on twitter I think, that on his missing weeks he's just been at home taking a break from the show. In ordinary times it take the team 3 days of filming in longmeadow to make an hour episode, how this translates to filming with remote cameras etc I don't know but reckon it will as loads of time. While he is definitely a fit guy for his age with all that has gone on this year I wouldn't be surprised to find that he has been rather stressed with the added pressures. I rather like seeing all the different presenters garden's, I just find it hard to imagine them as a whole. Just like all industries and businesses well done for keeping going through such difficult times 
  • You know, you learn a lot on this forum. In particular, about how strangely some minds work. " I am dying to know what Monty did on the few occasions he was absent ?" was a simple question based on the programs he did a few years back called "Around the World in 80 gardens", which I still watch. Why do some people think so negatively and with such a strange desire to air their odd opinions?

    Given the difficulties and restrictions on travel and filming this year it was highly unlikely he'd be making a new series.   Given his history of depression and his ownership of other properties to manage and garden it is far more likely he was taking time out for himself.

    I don't see that it is of any concern of ours really so you're just being gratuitously nosey @Inglezinho .

  • I'm only reviving this thread so that you can all see what a nasty piece of work Obelixx is. What right does he have to comment on other people's psychiatric history? I love Monty. He is one of my heroes. I made the original post because I thought he might have been on one of his world trips... That's all.

  • Why are you reviving a thread from last year to highlight another forum member? I think your comment is extremely inappropriate.

    What a spiteful thing to do. You are entitled to your opinion but attempting to “show you all what a nasty piece of work someone is” is extremely unpleasant and I am afraid it makes you seem like the nasty piece of work. Why attack @Obelixx or any other forum member? Just agree to disagree.

    How can you lie there and think of England

    I'm guessing this is what's triggered this extraordinary, and very sad reaction.

    It seems someone got out of bed on the wrong side.
