I’m another that doesn’t enjoy the viewers video section, they all just seem like GW audition tapes to me! I though the camera work in Toby’s section was absolutely dreadful, not sure who they had to do that!!
I used to find Carols voice annoying when I was younger but it doesn’t bother me now! I want more of Frances, and despise Adam, truly cannot stand him. I feel like he’s being fitted up to take over from Monty, or at least it seemed that way when we started seeing projects from his garden. I always fast forward through his segments
My favourite part of GW will always be the slightly nuts, extremely passionate plant people they go to see, the ones with national collections and the like!
I think Adam is great. He has a proper professional training and has gone on to become an award winning designer as well as a good presenter. When he shows us something done the way GH did he says so. Not so MD. Adam is also a thoroughly nice chap who, like CB, Carol, Christine and others is happy to chat to ordinary folk at shows like Chelsea.

Love Adam, he really imparts knowledge well and I don't feel he is gardening in a posho show garden in a fantasyland.
I know what you mean about passionate plant people, zugenie. Loved the recent bonkers bloke with buckets full of hollyhocks as far as the eye could see. And the fern lady. She actually made me want to try ferns.
I would like to see more of Nick and Frances (I’d like to see his garden and her allotment again this year). Carol is a joy. Rachel is fab. Advolly’s historic pieces are always interesting.
The viewers’ gardens often inspire me. The ones who are “auditioning” make me smile 😂
I drift off when there’s a veg segment but that’s just not a course for this particular horse.
Did Adam not start helping a couple who’d moved into a new build? What happened to that? Did I miss the revisit? 🤔
He doesn't need to @Dovefromabove . His knowledge, success and career path make him immensely worthy of respect and his casual manner of sharing his expertise was already charming so no need to lay it on with a trowel.
I agree he doesn't need to, but unfortunately he does. Either that or acts like he did when doing a series about the National Trust. All metaphorical tugging the forelock and "You're so kind my lady, actually speaking to an oik like me".
I liked him back in the days of Pebble Mill and his early days on GW. His more recent stuff he has been a total smarm! In my opinion.

Very much 'Horses for courses' and it would be a dull old world if we all wanted the same thing. I do like Adam, but can't stand Joe Swift. To me he comes across as patronising, and dismissive of anything traditional/established in gardening and the people who like that style.
Me and my OH always have a laugh shouting out the word "space" every time Adam uses it, cos' he seems to use that word an awful lot. Or when MD turns to camera and says "I do think ....." after one of the video segments.

Tonight at 8.00 "Monty continues planting up perennials in his recently extended orchard beds and begins a redesign in the dry garden.
Toby Buckland explores the impressive collection of heritage daffodils at Cotehele in Cornwall, and we visit JJ Chalmers at home in Scotland as he gets stuck into some seasonal jobs.
A couple in Birmingham share their experimental garden, which has been curated like a living art gallery with cacti, ferns and air plants at the heart of its design. With over 600 plants in her collection, we visit a passionate pelargonium grower in Hertfordshire. Gardeners’ World viewers also share what they’ve been up to in their gardens."
I love the seasonal jobs type segments. Seas of pelargoniums sound good! I have a load which have bloomed away on my windowsills all winter, delightful things.
My mother in NZ is always Monty this and Monty that and knows all his dogs by name.😁
