Well I sincerely hope they *don't* bring back the smarmy Titchmarsh,
he
really grates on me. I agree it's the inappropriate production that
needs to be sorted out. Toby Buckland is a good presenter if he's
allowed to talk in more depth about actual gardening; he's a
knowledgeable bloke.

I feel an hour length programme with more time for getting into
various
topics would be far better, and none of that "what's hot and what's
not"
type nonsense. Plus another vote here for correct plant names on
screen
long enough to jot them down.

I thought that it improved greatly when it was reduced to a 1/2 hour
program, probably because it cut out the rubbish.
I'm quite happy with the current presenters, but not some of the
content, I thing that the best thing would be to bring back AT as the
Producer to improve the content.

Hmm, that's quite a specialised job. He could certainly be an adviser
as well as a presenter and I think the original article said Toby
Buckland would probably stay on. I've written suggesting Roy
Lancaster, too because we liked him and his straightforward approach to
gardens and plants, as well as his knowledge.
