How funny! We both hated the 'new' and tinkered with music. Liked the
presentation and the programme, though. We also thought MD was making a
very clear point at the beginning when he said something to the effect that
this was to be about real gardening and not 'instant fixes'. I'm *sure*
'they' read this group! ;-))

The new "remixed" music is pretty naff, I do agree.

The rest of the programme was pretty good and it will be very interesting to
see how the garden develops over time.

I don't care about the music.......I was just Soooooooo glad that the
program was a huge improvement on the old version :~))

Monty Don looks like a real gardener, he talks like a real gardener
and does real garden things - none of that 'instant landscaping in one
weekend" Loved it when he said "this hedge will be wonderful in5
years time" :~))

Looks as if I can start to watch is again ..........

I'd like to suggest that we all write to the Beeb saying how much better the
new format is - those who do feel that, of course. ;-) Goodness knows we're
pretty sharp when we dont like something, so it seems only fair.......
Of course, they may pick that up from here. ;-)

I did manage to get to the site and have expressd my distaste at their
messing about with our classic original. I just hope it has some good
effect. What next? The Archers?

The new series of G.W. got off to a good start and I think Monty Don
will be better than A.T. More practical, less gimmicky.

What a wonderful canvas they have in that garden!

I can tolerate the music as long as the content is PROPER GARDENING.
Well done the Beeb. Keep it up.

If, like me, you missed the programme on Friday night it is being repeated
on Sundays 11-11.30am BBC 2.

I dont think the problem with Gardeners World was ever Alan Titchmarsh.
And I dont think Monty Don is going to improve things unless of course he
removes the hangers on , and reserve judgement for the moment. I didnt see
anything last night to make me think things had improved.

The real problem with gardeners World is still there - too many fingers in
the soil. Too many band wagon gardeners, not naming names but "the team".
Gardening is not a team game. One has ones garden and it is ones personal
and total domain. It aint a "team effort".
And I can understand why AT gave up the programme when having to work with
that Team and in HIS Garden!

I note the garden is for the first time not that of the presenter!??

Too many cooks and all that!

Gardening is not a team effort? Well. I hope all those people who run
Wisley, Kew, Rosemoor know that. How did Percy Thrower and Geoff Hamilton
miss that? Indeed, I must remember to talk sternly to my husband
tomorrow.......

I think I read somewhere - in the Radio Times, perhaps? that MD's garden was
considered for the programme but that he decided to protect his family's
privacy by not using it.

We breathed a huge sigh of relief - MD has been my favourite gardening
presenter for a long time - so practical and down to earth. Thank heavens for
no gimmicky camera work, a long term attitude to gardening (and no Ivan
Hicks!).

It just amazes me that people want to write messages expressing approval or
otherwise for a TV programme.

I like orange but my partner prefers lemon.

I like tea, you may prefer coffee.

Red used to be my mum's fave colour, but I prefer blue.

I've always preferred Coronation St over Eastenders.

I preferred the old signature tune on Gardeners World to that new one.

Be honest, just how interesting is any of this to you?

Does anyone really care that much?

Gardeners World is no mere TV programme. It's an institution of gardening life!
Some took our first faltering gardening steps at its knee, if you follow my
mixed metaphor.
