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.

I tape it and zap through all the boring (to me) bits :~)

I love Carol Klein - in small doses. She'd be a nightmare as presenter
Dairmund is out


On behalf of the Irish nation, I must ask: why is Diarmuid out?


Because when you have seen one garden concreted over you have seen his
entire repertoire. We actually want someone who can present the
programme and has a decent capability with green fingers. Carol Klein
and Joe Swift, the guy with the allotment might be OK as a double act.
She can grow stuff but is a bit odd. He is a bit too designery for my
taste - lets see how he gets on with allotment fruit & veg and then make
an informed choice.

Whoever gets it please don't bring back the dreaded Titchmarsh.

Martin Brown
