    I've just read an article in new York Times on the popularity of gardeners world and Monty. It said due to the help that it has given people through lockdown,  it will be an hour long show from the start of the season instead of half an hour!  :)

    Thank you for the link, that was a really beautiful article. :smile:

    It's only set for 21:00 at the moment.  Anything major, such as the final of the world Conker championships, might overrun and delay that start time.

    What a lovely article!  That's how I feel about Gardeners' World in general and Monty in particular.  Thank you, WonkyWomble.   :)

    I once called BBC to complain that GW had been cancelled and replaced with 11, yes eleven hours of Golf. I suggest that 1/2 hour of gardening and ONLY 10 1/2 hours of gold might have been better. It fell upon deaf ears

    Interesting that they seem to appreciate Monty more than some on here  :)
    How can you lie there and think of England

    I've had reason to contact the BBC on several occasions over the years but have found that if you have a complaint about them then they are never in the wrong, there are few thing good left about the Beeb Gardeners World and Strictly are just two.
