  • Denise Denise, hip hip horay, for someone who, in episode 1 showed he's not pruned his apple trees in year, episode 2 he's rescuing his currants because he's not pruned them properly and chitting potatoes in direct sunlight, episode 3 he admits to clipping Buxus on October 28th!!!!!
    and you're pleased he's back?
    I give up.
  • clearly I meant to say "not pruned his apples trees in years" plural.
  • Oh dear. I sat down to watch Friday's GW & ended up falling asleep.

    Think it's time to give it up. Still, now that the lighter evenings are here & soon it will still be light at the same time as GW is broadcast,think I'll use the time to actually garden instead.

    I guess every cloud has a silver lining.
  • I didn't bother watching on Friday for the first time in years. The first two shows in this series bored me so much I just couldn't see the point in wasting half an hour on a show I'm not enjoying any more.

    BRING BACK TOBY BUCKLAND!
  • Fantastic! The Beeb has finally come to its senses with the return of Monty!! He looks and sounds great - welcome back Monty you are the saviour of Gardeners World!!
  • Oh dear, watched Fridays programme & still no better, i also fell asleep - i did last week too!! I do wish it was still Alan Titchmarsh. There just is not "atmosphere" with it anymore. For me there has to be a certain something. Both Carol Klein & Chris Beardshaw can evoke that & of course Alan. It used to be so inspiring & so just simply watchable. Toby was getting there too. Now it's - well, not sure what it is now, but it doesn't do it for me that's for sure :(
  • It's miserable that's what it is, miserable and uninspiring and very very :(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(

    can we not have Toby back?
  • TOBY AND ALYS!!!
    We want them back on our screen!! Such down to earth, friendly personalities. It's so refreshing...unlike boring old Don (sorry) and Rachel seems out of place in a garden, despite knowing her plants. I haven't tuned in to GW since I heard of the new series changes. Give us more Toby and Alys!!
  • WE ALL WANT TOBY & ALYS BACK WITH CAROL AS WELL-END OF!
  • Going back to Lord Monty Don is a retrograde step BBC. Normal people with normal gardens can't relate to him. Please put an end to our suffering and bring back Toby and Alys. Failing that everyone will soon be watching Alan T on ITV. Still, when did the BBC ever care about public opinion? After all, we just pay their wages.
