Charlie D lost her mum and stepdad in the Boxing Day tsunami and that made her withdraw from public life for a while. Since coming back she's done a bit of TV gardening, she's been in panto, does a lot of charity work and is a gardening presenter now on an ITV breakfast show. Popped up on James Martin's afternoon show recently.
Agree about hands and plants rather than faces.
Vendée - 20kms from Atlantic coast.

Definitely Chris Beardshaw. I really enjoy him on the Scottish Gardening program The Beechgrove Garden..
It is soooooooooo much better than Gardeners Question Time. They have a wonderful veg garden.
Def not Alys - she made a greenhouse out of reclaimed windows that cost more than a decent bought greenhouse. And much as I love foraging , but not on Gardeners World!
If they would like a real allotment to work on they can come and start mine from scratch again and come up against real allotment problems -no water, no free compost, deer, rabbits, rats & pheasants eating the seedlings and crops!
spare me from Christine Walkden - don't know what it is, but she irritates me no end. I wouldn't mind Jekka, the herb lady, or Sarah Raven.....I suppose it depends on what they're going to be asked to do though
Most of the names coming up are old recycled ones who have failed in the past.
Give some one new, though not right out of college a chance for a change!
Ps Don't want to be like football clubs, where all the failed managers are in a continual merry go round of failures, and continue to fail their new club!

True enough Verdun. Ground Force was always a bit of a laugh - possibly the first of the TV 'makeover' programmes?

Cesar Milan?
Seriously, I think Nick Hamilton (Geoff's son) would be a great addition and would love to see him have a 5 minute slot within the main programme.

Give somebody new we don't known a chance
