Default Gardeners' World goes back to its roots with Monty

The 55-year-old will replace Toby Buckland, who was informed by BBC
bosses yesterday that his contract will not be renewed. Buckland was
said to be "devastated" by the decision.



It will be most annoying for poor Toby who i think is actually a good
gardener but not allowed to be by the BBC and anyone who has power in
the programming set ups.
They'll probably change the format a bit which means he wont now be able
to show us how good he could be,
A bit like poor Christine Walden who is destined to be eccentric on most
programmes but given a freehand (which they never are) can't show the
public her knowledge and skills in a normal manner.
Don't think it was Toby's fault, just the producer and director.
