eh? we've all been watching it for several years now Granity and
frequently have urged others to watch it.
Unfortunately it has now been 'nationalised' and instead of the four
unassuming, expert gardeners who used to be the presenters and did a
really good down to earth job, we now have 'personalities charging
around 'helping' people in their gardens. No doubt they'll show him
jumping over stiles and gates or winging his way around in a helicopter etc.
Always liked Beechgrove up till now, will still enjoy the other bits IF
and only if they don't try to 'gardeners-world' it all.

All you vociferous doom and gloom soothsayers who predicted the rapid demise of Beechgrove seem to have gone awful quiet all of a sudden, could it be it's because the programme hasn't self destructed? Even C.B's contributions are in keeping with the rest of the show.
I think it is an excellent show which nicely complements the 'Nigel show' with Monty Don. What we need to do now is to agitate to get it on in the evening to replace one of the endless repeats of Dads Army or similar.

Anyone who presents a national TV programme will, if they are any good at it, become 'A Celebrity' Geoff Hamilton is a good example of that.
