Grow Your Own Veg - yesterday
In article , "Keith (Dorset)"
writes talking point? Yes, Carol Klein is apparently a very experienced and knowledgeable plantswoman and grower. No doubt she and her family would be very pleasant neighbours. However, a good TV presenter she not - at least in this context. A good presenter needs far more than the ability to sound enthusiastic and 'not talk down to their audience'. They need to entertain, inform and maintain viewer interest. In this series, she fails in every respect. The BBC have been unsuccessful with Grow Your Own Veg because they have attempted to appeal to too wide an audience. Of course this has, to an extent, compromised Carol in the way she can lead the programmes. Many other gardening presenters, I suspect, would not have taken it on. Keith Is anyone else old enough to remember the great Geoffrey Smith and his "Mr smith's vegetable garden"? He had a very "down to your level" friendly approach but showed an immense amount of information and technique and clearly loved all things botanical ! -- Janet Tweedy Dalmatian Telegraph http://www.lancedal.demon.co.uk |
