    I agree with @Obelixx about Monty's garden but I think he's a really nice man.
    I agree with @SherwoodArrow about Adam's accent and the way he talks with all those strange pauses.

    I used to like Alan Titchmarch. What time is his programme on?

    EDIT  Oh just seen above, 2pm. No wonder I couldn't find it. In France, no iPlayer. Bother. At least I can record it today.

    It's on ITV @Busy-Lizzie, don't know if you can get that, but maybe ITVX ?

    Thanks @AnniD, I can get it live with a satellite and a Humax box, can't get iPlayer or ITVX. I look through the TV guide and record what I want to watch, but sometimes I miss things. Then I can use Catch Up when I go to OH's house in Norfolk.

    I wonder if, when the chosen forum is no longer 'Gardeners World', all that irritating whining about presenters will stop

    I don't have a problem with any of the presenters it's more the content that means I don't watch much of the programme (I do record the odd one and skip through the bits I don't wish to see). I'm not being arrogant but alot of what they show is mainly for new gardeners and most just repeats year on year like planting bulbs in pots, sowing tomatoes, chitting potato's, lifting and storing dahlias, things people with even a little garden knowledge already know. 
    Again I'm not knocking the programme it has to cater for every level gardener but there are very few things where a reasonably knowledgeable gardener will learn a great deal. I used to like where they went to specialist plant nurseries or national collections because they delved into the plants in more detail, it was good even if I had no interest in growing the plant species.
