I cant avoid watching Gardeners World,since it seems part of our
Friday evening ritual.However,last night the programme was
awful.Making raised beds using a curved design,and requiring
individual timber pieces was just ridiculous.Also the silly 30 min
tasks got sillier this week with trying to make roof gardens over
sheds and guinea pig hutchs.In the spice bed plants were thrown in at
random,with few described.The only interesting thing was the sowing of
green seed for the propagating of primroses,but since primroses seed
themselves naturally,even this was hardly worth it.
The content now is awful,and I am afraid to say that I think the
series should be pulled.

Have you written to the Beeb? Viewer feedback is very important if you
want improvements!

Have you any evidence that the BBC takes notice of feedback? Most of the POV
programme is spent justifying what the public complain about.

Short of knowing the minutes of discussions taking place at the BBC, I
don't really see how one can be sure. But there is no doubt that when
several members of the public complained about the really awful
presenting and producing at Chelsea a few years ago, notice was taken
and things did improve. At present there's a lot of chat going on
about loud music being played over dialogue etc. and it's aroused a
certain amount of press interest, too. The point is that if nothing is
said, and no efforts are made to let them know what the public think
and want then we have only ourselves to blame. It's a bit like not
voting and then complaining about the governments we get, IMO!
