Can't help thinking there is something 'employment law' related about this re-appointment. If he was replaced for medical reasons originally, is he not reclaiming his original contract if he is now fit for work?
I can't believe the producers would bring back someone who clearly polarised opinion when he was originally presenting. There has to be something more to it. You say you're responding to the core viewers? I have watched Gardeners World for 20 years and find Monty the least enjoyable presenter of all. Clearly, i'm not the core then?
This appears to be the last death throws of GW. You don't go forward by going back to something which was unconvincing previously.
I am delighted that Monty is back gardeners world has been totally boring with Toby and Alys. Infact I had stopped watching it and I am now really looking forward to watching it again on Fridays with Monty carol and Joe. Well done BBC and welcome to Monty Carol and Joe and good luck with the new series.Monty it will be great to see you back.
having just read some of the Blogs i do find some comments a little harsh.i first started watching Gardeners world when the Great Geoff Hamilton presented and in my eyes there is no one better but all the presenters since have done an equally sterling job but we all have our own favourite and our own ideals and the the presenters fit in with that-come on Gardners of Britain your sounding like the Politicians of this country--lets agree to disagree but lets not forget we all love to garden , whovever presents the programme !
We amy all enjoy gardening but we do not all want to watch Monty.My partner and I have decided that this is the end of our watching GW. Neither of us watched much when he was on before as he was so uninspiring. We began again with Toby and Alys and we both loved it. But no more as we do not think the show should go back to the old style. Shame as we did enjoy it. Silly move BBC.
Absolutely delighted that Monty Don is to return to GW. I too will be returning to watch. Unfortunately, for the last couple of years it has been total rubbish! Great to have you back Monty!

Toby was great why go back to the past? Is GW a nostalgia thing now?
