Good news about Monty but I will miss Toby and Alys - after a dicey start with Toby being given daft things to do by a 10 year old presenter, he has made great programes this year.
What wonderful news! Although Toby & the team have done a wonderful job I have missed Monty's sharp wit & excellent presenting style. What is happening to Greenacres though?
ps I forgot to say that Alys is a much more down to earth gardener with all her hints and tips than Rachel - can't we have Alys as well rather than the Nigela of the gardening world??
Sorry, GW you've lost my vote. I shan't miss Toby and Alys as I won't be watching in future. Both Toby and Alys are knowledgeable people who have actually worked in horticulture and bring a youthful vigour to a programme that will now be going nowhere. You've bowed to the pressure of the "Daily Telegraph" Monty groupies - what a shame.
I'm sorry to hear that Toby will no longer be presenting, I liked him much better than Monty as lead presenter, so as far as I am concerned this is a step backwards.
There's lots of nostalgia for previous gardens, such as Barnsdale, but that was just a field filled with 'made for TV' gardens as far as I remember, much like Greenacre.
What wonderful news to hear that Monty is well enough to return to Gardeners World. I met Monty at the Gardeners World Show in Birmingham a few years ago and he is such a lovely kind person and gives his time so generously. Welcome back Monty.
Hopefully Toby & Alys will join the team for special features & we'll have the best of both worlds. No "expert" knows everything & each brings their own style & personality to the programme. My family will definitely be banned from the lounge when GW comes back!
You must be barking mad getting rid of Toby and Alys Ive watched since Percy Thrower and Toby was nearly as good as Geoff.I wont be watching much with the most boring presenters EVER. That Sara Raven was also good and knew what she was talking about. Which is more than can be said of Monty don and Swift The whole point of gardening is to watch things develop sadly we will not be able to see greenacre do that ..What a waste.
