Default Titchmarsh comeback?

The BBC is 'in talks' with Alan Titchmarsh in the hope that he will return
to front Gardener's World. This follows scores of complaints about the
current lacklustre presentation and lack of genuine gardening tips and
advice. I hope it materialises. I think he's a really good presenter and
he does know his gardening. I know I've said it before but he does have
that rare and valuable gift of making everyone feel as if he's talking to
them personally. It's a great tool of the trade for a tv presenter and
especially one who's actually trying to teach people something. IOO, all
will be well if it's a proper gardening programme that does *not* rely on
an instant makeover formula, however. Alan T and one other (Toby
Buckland, Carol Klein, Joe Swift?) would be quite enough and perhaps they
could focus on some real garden work!
PS Isn't it fortunate that we *didn't* all just 'switch off'? ;-))
