sorry lakelandlass if i sterotypyed you but i am glad that you support toby and not Monty. This shows that Toby was good for all audiences and therefore further backs why he should of stayed and not be replaced by Monty
I don't like Monty nor Carol Klein. Toby reminded me of Geoff Hamilton. Toby talks to you much like Alan. Monty talked at you. Toby going is disastrous news I think the BBC is pandering to the oldies, much like the RHS resisting changing The Garden magazine. I'm nearly 50, so neither young nor old.
I've just found out the fantastic news of the return of the Don!! I will admit that after Alan I wasnt a fan of Monty, however given the choice of Toby or Monty, Monty wins every time.
I once watched a series called Fork to Fork which followed Monty and his wife growing vegetables in their garden. So if any one wants to see how good a gardener he really is, try and find that series, you will be bowled over by his passion.
Sorry Toby your way of presenting was just too patronising, and I am not a school child!
PLEASE NO MORE SHOTS ON CUTTINGS!! MY HUSBAND COULD DO ONE WITH HIS EYES CLOSED, AND HE DOESN'T LIKE GARDENING!
Thanks cc chip. You are so right - Toby was excellent and monty should not have been put back on. I am 60 and have gardened since I was young. I go to all sorts of garden groups , lectures and visit gardens. I think I am pretty Ok on what to do but I just loved the way Toby could put it over and please all levels. people who say he was not a good presenter are arrogant and ignorant. for bad presenter style Monty is the winner - he is awful.
I adoered Geoff Hamilton, Alan was Ok but Monty is dire and I will not be watching any more. I hope that Toby realises how much people liked him even if the BBC have made this massive mistake.
february is always a bad month for me and it just got worse knowing that I can never again look forward to GW on TV or mag as I can not abide that smug twirp Monty. Toby and Alys were just great.
Still at least I have some recorded and books of course. I will wait until some producer sees that a real pair of gems have been lost.BBC needs sorting out if all they can do is pander to sycophantic star fans and not do what they are supposed to do i.e. educate and inform. Monty is not good enough for GW. Perhaps he could have some little afternoon show for when his fans wake up from their afternoon naps?
I am disgusted with Monty as I have just read the magazine article - what arrogance. What a smug attitude and why are we to pay for his desire to do up his garden? The BBC should have stuck with Toby as he is a good gardener and presenter. The Greenacres site belongs to the BBC and we can all see it grow. Monty gets his garden done up for free and we pay. The article was just rampantly smug and I phoned my paper shop and cancelled it from now on. I can not tolerate such stupid , blind arrogance. Who does he think he is?
