I find him immensely irritating, and his jokey style and 'confidential'
asides patronising. But if he does go back to Gardeners World (which I
don't watch), maybe we'll see less of him elsewhere :-)

I have to admit he also irritates me, he is so over exposed and I see
him popping up all over the place as an expert on just about
everything, mind you we have a few on group, from time to time, who
think they know it all :-)

I don't think he can be blamed for being good at several things and
popular! You have to make a living when you can! But I have to admit,
also, that we haven't seen him much doing anything else, so haven't
suffered 'Titchmarsh fatigue'!
