What a farce. The producers should have a serious think about their inept handling of this whole ridiculous episode. Toby Buckland had become a fine presenter and had made an impressive mark on the GW brand.
This is yet another example of the BBC's contempt for their licence payers and their obsession with shallow celebrity. A victory for the chattering classes, a great loss for real gardeners.
Fantastic news - I've really missed Monty and haven't enjoyed the programme since he left. I'm also glad Rachel is back too, it's a shame she got sidelined to doing the RHS shows and not much else. Hopefully Alys will continue with her own series.
fab fab fab fab fab news, never like Toby or Alys, welcome back Fri evenings with real gardening advice and not the mickey mouse effort that has been going on, EXCEPT for Carol, Carol rocks!
Sad that Monty's back, he has told us all he can. I hope beginner gardeners in small garden don't get forgotten and I'll miss Alys' approach - we need to be greener. Please remember nobody in the real world can afford space for long borders and most veg patches are only a few metres square. I fear for the new series.
Oh no! I was so happy when Toby became the presenter for Gardeners World. He brought a light to the show that had been dim for so long. He will be very much missed. I'm not sure that it is a good idea to bring back Monty. I got a bit fed up with his dreariness. Alys Fowler will be a loss to the show as well. Why has this has happened!? I think I will stick to reading my magazine now...
CO-PRESENTERS! Other shows do it, why not Gardeners World? Why can't Monty and Toby be lead-presenters together? I think they would balance each other nicely. By the way, when will the BBC be hiring a female presenter for a change? I'd be happy to volunteer...*grin* Happy Gardening to everyone!
Fantastic news! Can't wait to have Monty and team back. Bit of a shame for Alice but her solo programmes were good so I'm sure we'll see her again. Friday nights will rule my week once again. Well done BBC for finally seeing sense.
