Titchmarsh comeback?
The BBC is 'in talks' with Alan Titchmarsh in the hope that he will
return to front Gardener's World. This follows scores of complaints about the current lacklustre presentation and lack of genuine gardening tips and advice. I hope it materialises. I think he's a really good presenter and he does know his gardening. I know I've said it before but he does have that rare and valuable gift of making everyone feel as if he's talking to them personally. It's a great tool of the trade for a tv presenter and especially one who's actually trying to teach people something. IOO, all will be well if it's a proper gardening programme that does *not* rely on an instant makeover formula, however. Alan T and one other (Toby Buckland, Carol Klein, Joe Swift?) would be quite enough and perhaps they could focus on some real garden work! PS Isn't it fortunate that we *didn't* all just 'switch off'? ;-)) -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.com Shrubs & perennials. Tender & exotics. South Devon |

But if he does go back to Gardeners World (which I don't watch), maybe we'll see less of him elsewhere :-) -- Kay |

He has an afternoon chat show, which you have managed to avoid. We so rarely watch daytime tv, other than weather forecasts which often turns into Ray having a crafty toews-up for 20 minutes or so! I always feel a lot guilty if I watch tv during the day unless I'm ill and allowed to be sorry for myself! -- Sacha |
