I'm never quite sure what's meant by a 'magazine format'! Lots of different strands, I presume. Gardeners' World comes in magazine format too - although doubtless more coffee table than mass market. I would expect ITV to be more down-market, possibly with competitions, viewers' gardens, giveaways, DIY, product reviews, etc. I hope so anyway -- GW caters for the keen gardener but that's only around 5% of the people who have to maintain their garden. |

That's the trouble, though: I think with gardening we may have come up against the barrier beyond which TV as a medium can't actually go. TV isn't going to inform the already informed in *any* subject: beyond a certain level, it can only offer interesting sightseeing and the occasional new technique, and if you want "A" Level, as it were, or above, you have to look in books. By its nature, it can't deal with complexity. So I reckon Stan's described a pretty good format for Mr and Mrs Non-Enthusiast-Gardener. But you watch the tellyteers stuff it with irrelevant celebs, book-pluggers, fake flirtation, and all their usual patronising dollops: they won't be able to resist it. I bet a quid for Oxfam the very first edition will include at least one instance of pretending not to be able to pronounce, or spell, a gardening word; and, for another quid, within two episodes somebody will have simperingly said something about not being good at simple arithmetic. No, that's stingy: let's make it a fiver on the double. -- Mike. |

writes It will be interesting to see how this one works. I'm never quite sure what's meant by a 'magazine format'! Lots of advertising, glossy production, no article more than two pages long with no extra difficult words, lots of unrealistic photographs and a few personalities shoved in here and there to maintain interest!
