It is also possible that the original four presenters don't want to take

ah but the presenters did travel around but gave good sound advice about
sensible predicaments like trying to solve front garden dilemmas on a
new estate and even helped schools build gardens. They did mainly travel
around Scotland but then they didn't try and convince the owners to
plant Phormiums etc.

I can't see why they have to nationalise it, why not (now here's a good
idea)copy them and do a similar programme from England and Wales.




Indeed, that is an excellent idea! Alas, it is probably called
Gardeners' World. I have been watching GW, but I ache for the days when
Geoff Hamilton presented it. He inspired both old and new gardeners
alike. Sigh.
