wrote: (snip) I can't understand why people don't like him, Irritating mock arguments with co presenters (why do programme makers today seem to think our attention will flag unless presenters argue with each other) and general 'I am a harmless idiot' style. And over- exposure. Whereas in fact he is one of the most knowledgeable and reliable of TV presenters (unlike, say, Monty Don); one of the most lucid and comprehensible of talkers (unlike, say, Diarmuid Gavin); one of the most attractive gardeners (unlike, say, Charlie Dimmock) and one of the most genial and accessible of TV performers (unlike almost all other gardening presenters). He has done more than anyone to popularise/expand the gardening hobby. Ground Force (don't knock it) attracted a staggering 12m viewers when he was presenting it with Charlie - soap opera ratings which will never be seen again but which sent people to garden centres in their droves. How To Be A Gardener was a very well-produced series which should have been compulsory viewing for all new gardeners - as well as some 'experts'. If he is seen often, that is partly because his programmes are repeated often; and partly because he's the best at the job. Why not complain about Trevor Macdonald's over-exposure? Stan |
