I wish Toby Buckland every success in his new role and presenter of Gardening World, and am looking forward to see his results. I am very sorry that it seems that Monty Don will be missing from the programme and wish him every success in his "new projects" I just hope that we have not lost his infectious sense of humour!! Good Health Monty!
Not at all surprised to read this news ... was watching him the other night and I thought to myself "bet it'll be him". I like Toby and I'm looking forward to seeing more of him presenting GW. Best of Luck to him.
I'm sure that Toby Buckland is a very good gardener but am very surprised Chris Beardshaw has not been chosen as the new main presenter of Gardeners World. Surely his knowledge and experience have made him the 'nation's head gardener.'
I had just started watching Gardeners' World again, Carol Klein is such a great inspiration and I hope she continues to be a regular presenter. I hope the new show will have less of the dizzying out of focus camera work, and too many extra-close close-ups, we need to see the gardens as well.
I like Toby's approach to gardening but I would have thought that Carol Klein would have been the obvious choice for Monty's replacement. Perhaps she didn't want the job.
It's not a man v woman matter: its about being able to enthuse, relate to the public and encourage people to try their hand at gardening. I had guessed Tony Buckland would join the team but never as the front person. Of what was the producer thinking? Carol should have been the front person with Tony and Jo as the sidekicks. Just think about Carol and her veg series. She has proven TV skills and knows her stuff. She's a born communicator and committed presenter. Oh dear,the last reasonable BBC programme about to hit the dust. Love to Carol!
I agree with Wendy and was looking forward to a female presenter for a change - I wonder what the viewers would have preferred (if they had been given the choice)?
It's fantastic to hear Toby will be the new presenter! Well done and good choice! He has been my favorite presenter yet. Looking forward to the new programmes.
