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.

It's all about viewing figures. If they drop to a certain low level then it
will be pulled just like "Richard and Judy".

In the week of the 11th May GW was 6th in the ratings for BBC2 with 2.4
million viewers, so no chance of it being pulled.

Looking at the most popular programmes gives one some idea of the average
viewer, it says it all!
