What an odd remark, Verdun. He can't help his height, can he?
I prefer Beechgrove to GW, for the reasons others have given, but also because it somehow feels more homely. I wish the BBC would stop cancelling it - perhaps we need another petition!
Good morning, new here but feel I need to jump to CBs defense. I love Beechgrove especially when he is on. I've heard him talk loads of times and he is always witty, knowledgeable, friendly and passionate. He's also very good on the eye. I like Jim and Carol too (except the rolling R's too) its George I'm not so keen on. Beechgrove crams a lot into half-hour and is never long enough. Any programme about gardening is good in my book, we don't have enough.
Anyway, Mr B's really about 4'3" when he wears his Cuban heels....
Jim's 80th birthday programme was repeated recently - worth a look if it's available online. It may only have been shown up here. He's a lovely chap and hasn't changed since the programme started when it was with another George (Barron) - both memorably sent up by Rikki Fulton and Gregor Fisher at one time. George was unintentionally funny too - used to repeat everything....'aye, aye, tatties, aye Jim'...as my sister used to say.
Happy days
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
