Do you watch Gardeners' World?

    For all its faults in the last year it really helped ignite the passion for gardening in a friend who started watching it a year ago. Now she has just started digging an allotment plot, something I'd have not even imagined for her a year ago. For all of us that are long converted may feel old hat or too preachy, but it clearly inspires some to start. And that's surely something we should all be behind, after all don't we want as many people possible to derive pleasure from gardening?

    I like Frances, but she does use the word " amazing " at least once every 30 seconds.

    I'll forgive her... :)

    I've pretty much given up on Springwatch because everything is "amazing".

    Amazing will soon lose its impact for the speaker. Then anything slightly out of the ordinary  will become super amazing.

    Is that affectation of an exaggerated drop of the jaw at all things ‘amazing’ now on the wane?

    Fairly soon everything will be categorised as ‘super amazing’ or ‘really, really important’.

    I must be going deaf ... I've never ever noticed the preponderance of 'amazings' from Michaela.  Bet I do now tho ..........

    I have watched GW since Percy Thrower, except for in the late 80s when we moved to France before we got a satellite dish. Think I missed a lot of Geoff Hamilton, but I've gradually caught up a lot from him on DVDs and YouTube. He was my favourite. I liked it when Chris Beardshaw and Rachel de Thame were on it and I also liked Alan T before he started doing all the other gardening makeover programmes and got a bit full of himself. I like Monty, but his voice lulls me to sleep. I like his dogs but I don't really want to see his bananas again! I usually record it and whizz through the bits that don't interest me.

    Michaela Strachan used to be good in "The Hit Man and Her" but does the BBC really need to fly people in from Cape town to present a wildlife programme?
