It's a nice programme scheduled at a bad time. It's against Deal or no Deal on C4. which is very popular. ???? Is it? I thought it was the joke of channel 4 and I'm pleased to say that I have never met anybody that watches it. I think it sad that there have been so many criticisms of the presenter, I found the gardens enthralling, and her enthusiasm great. I guess peeps have been used to presenters with slim or athletic bodies, pretty/handsome faces and enhanced breasts and lips. I was looking at the gardens, and did not want to be side tracked by a glamorous presenter. Also it made a lovely change from people gardening at enormous expense then expecting us peasants to follow their lead. |

Alan Titchmarsh is apparently eye candy to ladies of a certain age. Sad that the series is almost finished and it's the first I've heard about it. It looks as though the whole thing is being repeated so hopefully I can set the Virgin box to record the whole lot |

I found Rachel de Thame and Charlie Braless just as irritatingly intrusive and self conscious in their manner, as Christine Walkden.

All 30+ of them And while we thought the balloon thing was going to be an irritating gimmick, we found it rather useful. It sets the scene for the gardens in the most literal sense. Not only do you see the garden as a whole, you see it in its surroundings, whether they be country, town, suburbs. -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.com South Devon www.helpforheroes.org.uk |

There was a BBC UK archeology series run at the same time as the beginning of this series. They used a drone. Other than not seeing Christine in a basket, they achieved similar if not better results. Most of the aerial views in Glorious Gardens From Above were made the same way as the archeology series. What the two series had in common, other than using drones and being worth watching, was that both series were shown, without any prior BBC publicity, at times when many people were at work or had other things to do. Well Martin, that is the advantage of being retired and all the mucky weather we have had, making working outside,at the very least, unpleasant. |

I'm retired but I don't usually look to see what's on before 8pm, after dinner is finished and washed up. -- Regards. Bob Hobden. Posted to this Newsgroup from the W of London, UK |

In the afternoon it is wheelchairs, rising chairs and insurance for oldies, I would be ashamed if I was a well know personality advertising these rip off. I get the impression they will do anything for money! O yes I forgot Oh no no the bane of my wife's life. |
