Well, for what it's worth I have now made an official complaint via the BBC website. The only alternative to this seems to be to enter into a debate with other Points of View Forum members, which is rather missing the point.
I ticked the box saying yes, I'd like a reply, so I will report back here if I get one.
Completely agree with everyone, I shall be complaining to the BBC again (this is my third time about the same subject) and defecting to ITV for Alan Titsmarsh, the BBC seem to cater to children, soap fans, sports fans, repeat fans, ANy fan apart from a gardening one!
Don't forget way the BBC dumped their gardening forum. Although that upset a lot of people at the time, we had the last laugh, and most of us ended up here, which is a much better run forum. I'm all for competition. The BBC is just too complacent.
I hadn't thought of missing Hampton Court...Tatton's on 20th July 8pm before GW...thats a real shame, I really look forward to seeing the expert show gardens and trying a bit in mine. I wonder whether anyone from GW or BBC are actually reading any of our comments? hello...anyone out there..........
If they have to make room for endless boring sport, why can't they put GW on BBC3 or BBC4, or better still put all the sport on there, at least Alan Titchmarsh starts on ITV on Tuesday. Come on BBC start listening to what people are saying.
Glad to hear Green Magpie you have made an official complaint, I went on the points of view website and thought the same, please let us know if you hear anything. As a gardeners wife I know how much the garden means to my husband, especially been out there and of course watching Gardeners world so I think based on this forum its a good guage of how popular the programme. Ironically instead of listening to Sport presenters chat for half and hour before a match or after a sports event - why not just fit us GW in - call it an ad break of sorts!!! I don't mind sport but be nice to have a fair balance, 30 mins is all we are asking!
I think that the more people who grumble to Points of View, then the BBc will know how we all feel. I agree with gardeners wife that we did not need to talk for 45 mins before the match that was then on till nearly 11. GW would have fitted into that slot nicely!
I've also made on officical complaint to the BBC with little hope of an outcome. Bad enough we had the time cut from 1 hour! I would have thought there are enough interested gardeners to warrant a programme weekly throughout the year. I will try the points of view web site as suggested above also.

If it is not back until July 20 then we will not be getting any coverage of the Hampton Court show which is next week. Seems unusual.
