GARDENERS' WORLD

  • You must be reading the Daily Mail to think that somehow being inclusive is some kind of slur. Nothing wrong with allowing people to share their gardens. At the end of the day Monty's set up is so unlike most of the viewers' it can be such a turn off. Showing more domestic scaled gardens adds variety and makes the programme richer. If you don't like non middle upper class men to show up in the programme maybe try to watch it on iPlayer and fast forward. This ridiculous moaning says more about you than anything to do with GW. But hey at least you're on brand with your misery.

    How rude you are @amancalledgeorge everyone is entitled to their opinion on the programme.

    I’m with VM on viewers’ gardens. As a whole they’re a rum bunch, amateurishly filmed and with little or nothing to inspire me. I’m not troubled by this idea being given the flick.

    Ditto. 
    If there are viewers with gardens worthy of showing, I'd rather they were professionally filmed .
    I've no issue with Inclusivity. I'd rather the best folk presented it.
    I've no issue if they're all black, all white, all male, female, gay, straight, able bodied, disabled just so long as they're the best folk available.
