Monty in Toby out

[womble]

I can't stand Joe, or Carol. Alys I can just about put up with, Toby I quite liked tbh, as long as he doesn't do the stupid timed challenge rubbish.
Monty I like, but it's in a "I can't quite believe this guy is in charge of a national gardening show" type of way.

Can't they dig up another Hamilton from somewhere?

[Cosmo and Dibs]

I'd rather have Monty Python, I think.

Neil or Christine?

There is one still running Barnsdale........

Neil or Christine?

What a ghastly thought!

I think what Beechgrove Gardens and the Big Dig showed, was that all you really need, is a few old time gardeners that really know their stuff.
You don't need shiny presenters with loads of curb appeal, you need an experienced but practical gardener with a bit of charisma. ie Geoff Hamilton

I don't think any of GW's presenters could be accused of that (except Rachel de Thame)

What we need is ... Strictly X Celebrity Gardening, where they all wear sparkly scraps of clothing and eat worms and spiders

Rachel de Thame in scraps of clothing......... Sky+ setting time!

Monty is coming back, yipee!!!

Read in Guardian yesterday that the BBC are bringing Monty back as the main presenter on Gardeners World from March 11th.
It will be filmed on location from Monty's own fab garden.
How bloomin ace is that. Will now be able to watch again as could not stand Toby wotsit, don't know why but the man made me want to hit him as soon as he spoke. No idea why he did that to me, totally irrational but he wound me up as soon as he spoke as felt he was speaking down to me!!
Monty rocks can't wait to see him again.

[Glutton4...]

If you're right, Miffy, I will also be tuning in again!

And Alan's getting a gardening show on ITV.

...and things like the numpty corner, where they go to "real" (i.e. neither incredibly rich, nor terribly famous/experienced) people's gardens and help them sort out problems.

Sigh - I would marry him if he wasn't 30 years older than me ... and i'm already married

Glad someone else mentioned the return of Saint Alan of Titchmarsh to a gardening slot on TV. I thought I'd dreamed it.
I know a lot of people have suffered from Titch Overload with all his other TV projects and personally I avoid his chat show like the plague, but when it comes to down to earth, easy to follow, anyone-can-do-this gardening instruction, for me, you can't beat The Titch.

Glad Monty is back, I really like his dulcet tones. Why are they keeping Carol, sorry but she rubs me up the wrong way, a bit like scrunching cotton wool.

Is Alys doing a second series on the back yard?
