GQT, a few years ago they recorded a session at our club,we had to be there early, ask questions clearly, no west country accents and definately no clapping, then at the end they went over some questions etc a second time!
Being there it was definately off putting and not very exciting!
When I heard the actual broadcast, well it was marvellous, nothing like what I had sat through and very enjoyable!
Some fantastic new plantings by Piet Oudolf - and Monty was pointing out that although grasses are usually thought of as providing texture, movement and sound etc, some of the flowers are really colourful - there was a gorgeous plummy-pink flowered miscanthus looking amazing
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Parts inspire me, others don't. But I guess it got to appeal to a wide range of people. The Echinacea's the other week were incredible. I think there needs to be more on the correct pruning techniques of shrubs and I see many a Philadelphus trimmed into a ball. I salute the show though, for trying to cram the entire world of gardening knowledge into about 20 hours a year...
I agree with GillyL's first comment, although this programme might not of given the information that some people wanted it is still better than some of the other programmes that are on. And instead of informative it could just be seen as something nice to watch for some people.

Yes JMMMY, I've been to one of those, had to record some clapping so it could be dubbed in later, one of my pet hates.

Just loved those grasses last night, and all that autumn colour - quite inspiring

I've grown Ataea pachypoda from seed this year so I'm hoping for those incredible berries next.

Quite poetic Verdun
Do you like grasses by any chance ?
