I think this is very sad I have so enjoyed Toby as presenter. This will mean not watching GW again as I never liked Monty's presenting. Toby is very much like Geoff and Alan. Very, Very, disappointed
I'm so pleased to hear this - I'll start watching GW again now. I felt quite disloyal when I deserted it after so many years but just lost interest when toby took over. All we need now is Chris Beardshaw and I'll be a very happy woman!
Absolutely delighted by the return of Monty but very bemused by the decision to oust Toby.To me he displayed many of the skills and sensibilities of Geoff H, backed by a deep comprehension of Botany. This surely would have been the ideal opportunity to dump the irritating Joe instead? I'm sad that Rachael has been conscripted as she appears (to many viewers)to lack the "street cred" of other presenters. I will continue to watch, of course, especially for regular returns to Greenacres for updates.
Oh dear. It may be the end of my regular Friday evening in the garden. I don't like Monty Don's style. I find him very superior and as has all ready been said, veg, veg and more veg. Toby was believable and real and after being a bit doubtful about Alys at first, I came to enjoy her approach as well. As many have already said, what about all the projects started at Greenacres that we will never see them come to fruition? Thinking about the conclusion of the last series, I suspect Toby and Alys did not know that they were to be replaced and Greenacres abandoned.
Wonderful news, I will again watch Gardeners World with the dream team. I find Toby and Alys irritating. I agree bring back Chris Beardshaw and all will be perfect.

I only hope Alys can make more of her own programmes now. They are modern and make you think.
Toby's practical approach is of more use to a beginner like me than Monty's dreamier moments.
Won't be rushing to switch on the next series.
