    Hear, hear, Sheal! In my case Monty Don and Joe Swift. Haven't watched GW since Alan Titchmarsh left and even then, I had to switch over when Joe Swift came on:sad: How in heaven's name did that man ever become a TV presenter?

      Well, unfortunately, there'll never be a presenter to equal the late great Geoff Hamilton:love30:.:dunno:

        I have to admit I've seen very little of Joe Swift as I haven't had a television for five years. I have never liked Monty Don and think Rachael de Thame hasn't got the gardening knowledge she likes to suggest she has. There are many members here on GC with much more knowledge than she has, perhaps we should start making nominations! :biggrin:

            You don't have to worry about the above lads, it's gardening not office work. Hands on knowledge is far superior to a degree gained from books. :)

              Oh, how cool would that be ? Much more entertaining and informative than 'some others'
              I dare you!
              Noooooo don't, I've just realised, I wouldn't have the real and quick info I need, please stay with us
              You lot are priceless ❤️

                I like Terry too but I don't think he'd give up his allotment. :)

                          Heres a better idea. Give Beechgrove Garden an hours slot instead ? A much better programme that fits more gardening in than GW does.I wish theyd drop the community gardening stuff though,tiring.

                            I'd be happy if they just gave Beechgrove a prime time slot between 7 and 9.
                            It's only on on a Sunday morning and then if there's anything else happening they take it off or move it to something silly like 6 am.
