Perhaps what is really needed is for Green Acre to continue with Toby
as a different gardening program. For those of us creating or aspiring
to create a garden from scratch, this is far more interesting than an
existing garden.

Depends who you ask: there's no getting away from the fact that viewing
figures for the new series are over 25% up on last year.

Even more people watch Eastenders, but that doesn't mean it is a
quality programme.

It doesn't prove that it isn't, either. Chacun a son gout. One man's meat, etc

My point is that viewing figures prove very little.

Well, they prove that the current GW series is of interest to more
people than the previous one. Your view is subjective, naturally, and
you are entitled to it - even though you would appear to be in the
minority preferring last year's series. Quality too is subjective and
difficult to define. Arguably a programme has only to be technically
well-made to earn the quality symbol...and in that respect, the current
series is at least as well made as last year's series -- in my view.
