Poor judgment, BBC
"Sacha" wrote in message ... As for the treatment of Alan Titchmarsh, words just fail me. I'm at a loss to understand how the BBC would - effectively - ditch a man who has spent his entire life in horticulture and worked hard and well for the BBC and humiliate him as they have. It beggars belief and I suspect the really knowledgeable in horticulture will feel the same. I cannot count the number of people we know who have stopped watching Gardener's World and who may well give up on the BBC presentation of Chelsea for all the same reasons. What a mess! On top of that, Monty Don's 'sidekick' knows little about gardening but her parents have a garden they open to the public. That being the case, I'm putting forward the names of all 3 of my children for next year's coverage. They know bugger all about gardening but not only do their olds have a garden, one of them owns a Nursery and this garden is open to the public every day 50 weeks of the year! They'd be a shoo-in on that basis! -- To be frank (I am) I've never been a fan of AT. I've always found him patronising and corny. I much prefer Monty Don as a tv gardening presenter even though I no longer enjoy GW.but that's more the format tham MD's fault. I believe he's probably just as knowledgeable about gardening as AT, even though he's not a qualified horticulturist. The series he did a few years ago on Italian gardens was good and I doubt AT could have pulled it off without driving me mad. The idea of having a woman presenter is obviously to 'sex up' the image of the Chelsea presentation and appeal more to the younger viewer. Sad, but that's what tv media is much about nowadays. |
