Surely the paying customer has a right to criticise a product that isn't
delivering what they think it should? I don't agree with ripping someone
to shreds for the sake of it but I think criticism that's constructive
is a good thing and can be effective.



But some people seem to forget that it isn't compulsory to watch.
If you don't like him change channel, I NEVER watch Top Gear and
several other progs because of their presenters and or the format of
the progs.
But I find I can watch some progs and just blank out the presenter.


Of course, anyone can exercise their prerogative but if programmes are
made FOR gardening people BY gardening presenters, it seems reasonable
to think we can either watch something we like and mostly find useful
and helpful, or we can say what we don't like in the hope it will
change.

Agreed, but here you are condemning a new (to England) programme before you've even seen it just because it's going to have a particular presenter in it, one that happens to be a successful garden designer as well as a RHS judge and not your idea of a gardener.
