Do The BBC just not understand that continuity is everything with GW? It was at it's best with Geoff and then Alan in their gardens. This chopping and changing approach both with presenter and garden isn't welcome. I felt Toby was just getting into his stride and just as with Berryfields, Greenacre becomes nothing more than a set! As much as I admire Monty - why go backwards? Perhaps Chris Beardshaw, Matthew Wilson or Keith Wiley could have taken the show to a new level? Disappointed :-(
Really disappointed that there is a step back in the presenting team. Not sure if I will watch the show from now on.
Really like the line up as it is now- why change it? Much prefer Toby as lead presenter than Monty.
What will happen to Greenacres? We have spent the whole year watching the new projects being set up and its just being dropped because Monty wants the job back.
Very dissapointed at the gross waste of money setting up Greenacres was for just a short term series.
Disappointing news. Toby and Alys were very down to earth. Rachel de Thame couldn't be more opposite. And for Greenacres, will we get to see its development?
Reading people believe this is a step back..........I have not watched GW since Monty finished. Toby didn't inspire me at all. Neither did the 'garden from scratch' idea. My garden is established and the idea of watching more basic gardening bored me!! Seeing an established garden on screen again, as well as Monty as lead presenter, will return me as a GW viewer.
Its a step backwards by the BBC, Toby was a good down to earth presenter.. I was also looking forward to seeing the results at Green acres. Monty's a good bloke and should have just replaced Alys or Rachel as they are the weak links.
Sorry we are losing Toby and Alys felt he was just beginning to make his mark. I don't have much time for Rachel - no offence ! Will be glad to see Monty back though, what will the Beeb do with Grenacre ?
I also may reconsider my Friday evening viewing - just started to warm to Toby and the others - if I do continue to view I am pleased to see Carl Klein will still be around. One definite put off will be if Monty reruns to his previous presenting style of Organic Gardening to the exclusion of any other approach.

Good choice of presenters too. Well Done!!

What a waste of money Greenacres has been.
