I don't think they've even read yours! You make the point that a large
no. of people do not like this programme; they reply with a
standardised letter which assumes you are speaking for yourself alone.


Presumably they called it Digging Deep as they are running out of ideas
for programmes and this was at the bottom of the barrel?

ROFL

I'm not a big telly man, but this thread got me to watch last night's
prog, and I don't go all the way with the generally negative reaction.
For various reasons I didn't like the garden they threw together, and
I'm very uneasy about strangers hurtling in and offering to solve awful
emotional problems at a stroke -- in public, at that. But I thought the
concept was actually a good one: the psych aspects of gardening and
garden design, at one level or another, are what gardening is actually
_about_, and well worth a TV series.

You can pose questions of taste about the on-screen image of the
sweeties (I didn't mind) and the worrying intrusiveness, and as
gardeners they don't seem to know shit from shoeshine; but they really
did identify a link between the garden and what was going on for that
family, and I found that valid and interesting. It made me think a bit
about how I would have tackled it.
