    I reckon Toby Buckland has had a raw deal in being dumped for bringing back Monty Don. Toby is a good and decent guy with a lot of sensitivity and knowledge about plants. He has learnt and improved a lot since he first came to Gardeners World and should have been given a longer spell in the job ( much as I like Monty ). There have been far too many GARDENING SNOBS out there calling for Monty to be re-instated. Each presenter brings something different. Let's have some support for Tony !!!

    PLEASE stop harping on about Monty/Toby/Alys. This is NOT a blog about the GW television programme. If you want to keen and bleat then do so here:

    I love the wish list, but what on earth were you doing writing it at 6.25 am on New Year's Day. It sounds as if you need to get out more!
    In answer to anonymous, comment 12, have a look at 'Biofume Greenhouse Candles' on the 'Green Gardener' website:

    Wonderful wish list. Laughter, learning and fun filled gardening for 2011. Too many gardening quarrels though. All of our presenters bring something important to the party. Its just simply that the party is neither big enough or often enough. More gardening progs and less tosh for 2011 please BBC!

    Well said Chris Barnes! Personally I've learned lots from all the presenters and feel that the Beeb is missing out on great opportunities for some popular programmes. There are thousands of gardeners out there hungry for advice and inspiration. Come on BBC, use some more of the talented presenters/gardeners and give us more horticultural fixes!

    EUPHORIC to see/hear that after two years in the Wilderness the Beeb has finally realised that we want REAL gardening, not gardening for babies. Hurray! Three cheers for Monty Don!!!

    I agree with Minty and Cris we need more gardening programmes there is room for all our favourite people. Carol now has her own series and hope it will continue. Are the producers listening at last and realising we all have different ideas just as you wouldnt have one soap opera or one drama programme one gardening programme doesnt do it.

    I too love the wish list but would like to add: May herds of hedgehogs eat your slugs and snails.

    I like ALL the presenters but would like there to be less "arty" camera shots.
