Also, Fleming's Australian garden, to me, wasn't that impressive when
I saw it on TV but when I saw the actual garden I realised it was
absolutely amazing and that the TV coverage had spent too long
concentrating on the waterfall and the patio chairs and not enough
time on the planting, which complemented the hard landscaping
wonderfully.

I believe this is the garden - with pool - that I deeply disapproved of.
The pool was also intended to be used as a swimming pool. It was also
expressly filled with inky black water so you couldn't see how shallow the
pool was. Am I the only person who thought this was lethal? A pool that
looks deeper than it is ... a swimmer who dives in, counting on that
apparent depth ... this is a perfect receipe for a broken neck or back.
What do others think?

While I take your point, but speaking as one who grew up on an island, the
first rule of diving is don't unless and until you know the depth of the
water and what is beneath it! What I thought was the most utter rubbish
that verged on the insulting, was all that fatuous 'teasing' stuff about
someone cramming himself into a wet suit and the camera play on his supposed
six pack or firkin or it is. I hope the director got a thrill out of it -
we were even further incensed by this waste of our licence money.
