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.

I too hardly ever watch these days, it can be interesting occasionally but
mostly it seems more interested in the personalities than the plants to my
mind.

Percy, come back, all is forgiven.

Actually you are right. I do not watch as much as I used but hadnt really
reflected on why. It is the personalities and lifestyle element. I suspect
thats why I asked my question. I dont want a " personality" or " lifestyle"
presenter. I want a proper gardener not a " designer" and I want to see a
gardeners magazine programme not a lifestyle programme. I suspect my
watching will get less if they do continue as at present.
