    Fluff - Has anyone ever actually counted the time lost to the intro, the "what's coming up", the long, lingering, soft focus shots of Monty and/or dogs walking around with his barrow or a pot or a plant but not actually gardening or explaining gardening and plants?

    If the programme does go to one hour, or even 40 minutes, I don't want the fluff to increase in proportion.

    And can we please have the botanical and variety names as subtitles?  They seem to be lacking of late.

    Some lingering shots are nice

    Flowers at their peak or interesting foliage etc.

    I'm don't like dogs but nige and Nell are OK.

    They seem to be part of the garden and terroir

    I have two dogs and a cat of my own.  I watch GW for plants and gardening so lingering shots of plants and garden fauna yes but not Monty or dogs.

    Hope we do get hour long GW programs, and less fluff would be great. But keep the lovely dogs they are so cuteimage
