Chelsea is to gardeners as fashion shows are to those who wear clothes. Sorry, don't agree. The show itself is packed with fascinating plants, ideas, exhibits and information .It's only the TV coverage, which fails to address the needs and interests of gardeners. That would be because the BBC audience for its Chelsea programmes comprises a majority who are not keen gardeners. The BBC has decided to build its audience rather than serve the needs of keen gardeners. Hence the daytime presenter was Jenny Bond for whom this may have been her first ever visit to Chelsea. I thought she was excellent: very coherent, very engaging, very professional - the very kind of professional presenting that the show has lacked in the past. Last year's Chelsea programmes were a technical disaster. Much better this year and it seemed to me that even Charlie Dimmock has finally had some TV tuition. It will be better still when the Beeb finally figures out that the incomprehensible bumbling, mumbling Diarmuid Gavin isn't cut out for any kind of TV work. Simon |
