What are other people's views as to who BBC are aiming the programme at?
Not the 'Grown up' gardener for sure.


We have discussed this a couple of times already, I certainly have no idea
who it's aimed at, as you say, certainly not the experienced gardener, and I
worry what"new" gardeners might learn from it.
Didn't bother to watch or even record this evenings show, went out for a
curry.

It's very disappointing what the programme has descended to. Poor old
Geoff Hamilton must be turning in his compost heap.

Thinking about it perhaps they could repeat Percy Thrower's programs, they
repeat all the crap so why not a gardening program that teaches you
properly.

Isn't he from the era where they didn't realise the value of what they
had and also storage costs were relatively high compared with today, so
they re-recorded over old tapes?
