It just shows that you can throw money at a Garden but without a good
measure of love it is nothing other than an expensive "set".

IMO

in recent years GW peaked last year. The BBC adapted the series to
reflect urg/viewers comments. The camera work is poor this year. Often
what Monty is doing with his hands is not visible. All too often we
see Monty's face and not what he is doing. There is too much of Monty
and not enough of gardening.

I don't watch GW, but I find it hard to believe that the BBC takes any
notice of what URGLERS have to say. Do they take notice of anyone?

Bill

Urglers (and others) were among those who complained about the way in
which Chelsea was being presented a few years ago. Changes were made and
very much for the better. Monty Don has responded to a post on here, so I
think there can be little doubt that gardening groups are read and if
vociferous enough, listened to! It's no exaggeration to say that some
people here know easily as much as presenters past and present and are in
a very good position to criticise helpfully.

Good to hear this, it makes commenting usefully all the more worthwhile.
