Congratulations Toby! How about giving the girls a go... or didn't Carol want the job?! Seriously though, Toby is a great choice and I can't wait for his first day on the plot. Good luck!
Thank heaven for a new presenter of GW - I don't know Toby B. but look forward to his joining the team. Pity we still have to sit through Joe Swift's 'blokishness' as someone else put it, though I often record GW and fast-forward his bit. I do hope Toby B. will make up for him. Carol's OK too.
How do you know the girls weren't offered the job and turned it down !!!!??? It must be a very demanding position, and both Carol and Alys have other interests, after all.
Reading the comments posted on this blog does not read as comments coming from gardeners, friendly, warm, happy individuals are the gardeners I've been privileged to meet and talk to in my life, some of these people have become good friends of mine and I feel when reading some of these comments that apologies are in order, yes I believe in freedom of speech but I do think in some cases it tongue starts before brain engages. So on behalf of all REAL GENUINE gardeners out here SORRY TOBY we all look forward to seeing you.
Many congratulations to Toby. I've got a feeling he'll do a great job. I saw his garden at GW Live and was really impressed. In these times of climate change and the credit crunch I think we need someone who's more Geoff Hamilton than either Alan Titmarsh or Monty Don. I'm looking forward to a really re-energised programme in September.
I've watched Gardener`s World for years and years and three presenters that I became particularly fond of were Geoff Hamilton, Monty Don and finally Carol Klein, who, I think is an inspiration to anyone even remotely interested in gardening, she really can`t be beaten for her sheer enthusiasm, knowledge and brilliant personality which comes over in bucketfuls...As for her having her own programme, surely that's what 'Grow your own' is and superb it is too. I'm going to miss Monty and I still miss Geoff Hamilton but hopefully Carol is going to be around much of the time not because she`s a woman but because she makes gardening on TV riveting watching! Good luck Toby, good health to you Monty and thank you Carol for making my day every time I see you on the television.
