'BBC brings in new Gardeners’ World presenters as Bake Off boss takes charge' - and we will get hour-long episodes from now to end of this year's run - and not a mention of 'soggy bottoms' or 'munching on carpet' (last night's GBBO episode!) anywhere in the article.

Last nights GBBO ( or as it's called in our house "cakey makey people"
) was very amusing, I did enjoy it 
I don't watch gardeners world. I really can't get on with it

Hmmm...wondered why it was suddenly going to 1 hr this week. Might need to start watching on iplayer again so I can fast forward the "boring bits" as I'm guessing there will be a few more bits now that I'm just not interested in!If it ain't broke...fix it til it is!

Last week one presenter said she'd lost her tomatoes in hanging baskets to blight, nice to see that she was prepared to show that they are not infallable

The comments to the linked article seem pretty critical. But in general I like what I've seen of the new co-presenters and who knows, the doubling in length may mean twice as many good bits. I only ever watch after the event so that I can skip past any really annoying parts...Comment

It's got to be said I like Beachgrove on YouTube better so I can skip the boring bits, never looked to see if all the Gardeners World episodes go up there as well.Comment

Gardeners World are on iplayer, so skipping bits is easy enough

It's good it's getting a bit of a shake up - some of its programming appears to be done by rote. Look forward to seeing the new format (on iplayer, for the joy of skipping!).http://mudandgluts.com - growing fruit and veg in suburbiaComment

To be honest the revamp doesn't fill me with excitement, the odd slot on exotic gardening is tube but not sure I'd want it as a local feature. Personally I'd rather have some stuff about things I can relate to. The comments section on the article are worth a read though, some hilarious comments.
Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.
Which one are you and is it how you want to be?Comment

Always think of GW as more of a "coffee table book" show - lovely pictures & lifestyle features and a little bit of practical stuff, whereas Beechgrove is joy larkcom "how to grow your own veg" - not as 'pretty' (although I love Jim mccoll)but full of practical useful info. There's a place for both, & it's on my TV
As others have said, there's always the fast forward button....Another happy Nutter...Comment

We might see a lot more of the dogs which is sometimes more entertaining than the gardening

I think that GW. is fine they try to cover all aspects of gardening, for people who like growing flowers they might find any veg related articals boreing and vice versa with veg growers, personaly I woould take an other hour of GW instead of TGBBO but again I would rather have more Beechgrove Garden as I can relate more with that weather wise and places to visit etc.it may be a struggle to reach the top, but once your over the hill your problems start.
