Delighted with news. There seem to be many pro-Toby comments written but, if he'd been any good, the viewing numbers of GW wouldn't have declined so enormously!
Well well well the 'Gardening Mafia' have finally had their way. Toby Buckland is to be replaced by Lord Leominster himself, the ever so smug and wanting in charm Monty Don, Farcical, when will this man make up his mind about what he really wants to be, how many more feathers does he want in his cap, here's one family who won't be tuning in to the new series.
I liked Toby Buckland, he is a REAL gardener who doesn't mind getting his hands dirty, his knowledge style and friendly approach is second to none. We shall miss him, the only thing I won't miss is Carol Klein's Glebe Cottage we must have seen everything there except the outside loo and the pointing on the chimney.
Very best wishes to Toby and the very best of luck, who knows, you might be offered a talk show less likeable people have.
Goodbye BBC's GW this family will not bother you again.
Iam disgusted to hear Toby and Alice are no longer on Gardners World thisn a great loss.The only good thing is Rachel joining the programme.Thanks for ruining a good programme.
I shall not watch the next series of Gardeners' World - very disappointed to be losing Toby and Alys, and Greenacre. The main presenter should be chosen on merit, not whether they are rich enough to have a large garden.
can't believe they are bringing Monty back, his style of presenting is boring and far from "down to earth". Once Toby had relaxed into the job he was fantastic to watch and makes up for Joe "ooh I must not get my hands dirty" Swift. Toby is no Alan Titchmarsh (who I could watch all day) but he certainly comes a good second to those of us who enjoy gardening instead of just playing at it like Monty - I wont be watching anymore and I know others who feel the same as me! Bad move BBC!
