I am glad that Monty Don is coming back to Gardeners World. I used to watch the programme but got fed up with Toby Buckland but I enjoy Carol, Joe and Racheal De Thame, I also enjoyed that very interesting programme on crafts such as thatching and other things. I also find it very useful to have the red button facility for chelsea
I am absolutely thrilled that Monty Don is coming back. He is the only presenter that has made me feel like going out and doing the things on the programme since Geof Hamilton. It will be much better from his own garden. I have completely changed my garden since having an extension and will be delighted to watch again. Hope you keep Carol Klein, she'so enthusiastic.
I got several lovely gardening books for Christmas but the worst present by far was hearing that Toby had been put aside for monty. Glad I have books to read as I really do not want to watch him on my TV - simpering , sycophantic and in dire need of some garden books of his own to get a bit of knowledge. Why is he back?
Well waht a d**n stupid thing to do - get rid of Toby. Strikes me the BBC only want to put on show offs and the like. A dumbing down if ever there was one. It was a good thing with Toby running the show. I could never understand why they ever let Monty do it in the first place. What a waste. I hope some other channel snaps Toby up and I will wait until then - can't waste my time watching that fancy bloke Monty pretending to garden. My wife carried on watching for a bit but in the end said there were better comedies on than him waving his spade about like a right twirp.
Could not believe that Toby is being replaced by Monty - Unless we get the 'basics', as we we were getting with Toby, then I will not be a regular viewer. I know everyone will have their own view, but I feel the BBC have let Toby and many views down with this move.
I've only just read that Monty's coming back - blame Christmas and life in a hole - but I for one am delighted. Lovely, quirky, grumpy, manic, gloomy, opinionated, literate, loving, enthusiastic, contradictory Monty, who, I firmly believe, should be paid so generously he can take off plenty of time to write the novel I am convinced be has in him...
Backwards step in my opion, Monty has had his turn. Good luck Toby and Alys, I'm sure you'll both be back. Alys ( who I think is fantastic ) should have her own show!
I am absolutely thrilled that Monty will be back on Gardeners World! And to see him in his own garden in Herefordshire, that I have read about so much, is even better. I can't wait!
Oh no not monty again. He has had his go and he was just rubbish. Give us Toby and Alys. And what IS going to happen to Greenacre. That was a goog garden for demonstrating new gardens. Bring them back - call it alternative GW.
