Whilst everyone wishes Monty Don all the best and a speedy recovery.
The reality is he leaves a hole in the garden at Gardeners World.

I have to say I am not enamored with the possibilities. I don't think
it would be too unrealistic to say that Monty was a peoples choice
promoted by those in this newsgroup ( the original BBC choice being
Dairimud Gavin of people are old enough and still have brain cells
enough to recall) .

So, who should replace him? Or should Gardeners World call it a day and
get the axe from the BBC? Lets face it, its changed beyond recognition
and frankly I only watch half as often as I used to even when Alan was
in charge and that was less than when Geoff Hamilton had the reigns.

The basic thing is... what is the purpose/aim of Gardeners World?

Until this is clarified, it is useless to consider who the front
person should be..
