I'm still waiting to hear what Rachel is bringing to the programme! She's the only presenter I've ever seen on GW who wore gloves when she was planting. She comes across as a lovely lady who is very beautiful, but as for being a gardener?? I think not.
We are delighted that Monty Don is returning to Gardeners World. He along with Carol and Joe make a wonderful team. They have so much knowledge and so much enthusiasm and they treat viewers as intelligent people with knowledge of gardening. It will also be good to have the programme set in a REAL garden again instead of a 'bitty' allotment site. Hurrah!
I am so delighted I am fit to burst. I never got used to the current presenter, likeable chap and all but come back monty! And sooooon, so pleased it is going to be in your own garden too Well done the BEEB better late than never.
So its back to the classroom for rigid lessons; GW needs to be enjoyable to watch, not a chore.When Toby started, the new format was wrong; after changes, this year has been very good.Carol seems the most knowledgable but maybe she didn't want the main job.When Monty was on it was too much like a lesson; at least Carol created enthusiasm and fun. And what the HELL is Rachel coming back for!! They only use her at Chelsea because she looks good and likes roses and thats it; no substance. The only person that kept me interested in gardening was Alan T. though I understand he's not to all tastes. Personalities aside, we need a programme that caters to all abilites but still makes it FUN and we won't get that from Monty. I'm feeling depressed already.
Young/not so young - new/old hand - veg/flowers - containers/borders - buy/propergate :- 30 minutes is Not enough to please many of us let alone ALL of us. We need more coverage from an assortment of people....even Ground Force got a new patch each week!

Well done the BEEB better late than never.
I am absolutely furious that the only programme that I care to watch is being taken back to the dark ages.
