Why were the ratings disappointing?



Missed it. Just a guess, but probably, some crazed maverick at the
BBC foolishly made a programme with some real gardeners in it, spending
a quiet afternoon down the lotty in non-designer wellies. With no
camera gimmicks, celebrities or interactive voting opportunities, it
was bound to fail.

Serves them right for doing something right!

They could have at least tried those awful jolting sweeps and zooms of
the five-year old on his first "OB", then frame the person so half their
head is off the edge of frame.

Couldn't they have put several plants of differing types together in a
greenhouse then vote one out each week ?
