also the bloke with the tweed jacket and brogues who promoted peat and never got his hands dirty

MaggiMr Wikipedia has forgotten to include Stephen Lacey.......
Yes, according to Wikipedia - and I found a wikipedia page that gives this list :Lead presenters have included:Ken Burras (1968 – 1969) [Percy Thrower (1969 – 1976)Arthur Billitt (1976 – 1979)Geoff Hamilton (1979 – 1996)Alan Titchmarsh (1996 – 2002)Monty Don (2003 – 2008)Toby Buckland (2008 – 2010)Monty Don (2011 –)AssistantsThe presenter's assistants have included: Alys Fowler, Chris Baines, Chris Beardshaw, Mary Spiller, Liz Rigby, Diarmuid Gavin, Clay Jones, Stefan Buczacki, Christine Walkden, Sarah Raven, Gay Search, Anne Swithinbank, Nigel Colborn, Geoffrey Smith, Roy Lancaster, Peter Seabrook, Joe Swift, Ali Ward, Pippa Greenwood, Rachel De Thame, Carol Klein, Bob Flowerdew, and John Kelly.So I guess that Mary Spiller is the one Brian mentions?
It is the immediacy of this forum and the capacity for interaction here that has provided, for me, some of the most exciting times here. I am thinking of Stellan's reports, mostly under the title of "The Travel Giraffe" sent on the very day, of the landscapes and plants he discovered- while travelling the country on his bicycle,on trips of some 27000 km ! It would take some doing for any TV programme to even equal that, let alone better it. Then there are the reports from our expert members in the mountains of Europe, or extraordinary places like Socotra. The reports from unrivalled reporters like Rafa and Oron or the tales of both travel, cultivation and plant description form Janis - and these are just to mention a few of the direct reports we have enjoyed from so many members in so many places - mercy! What have we not got here to be grateful for ? And then there is the endless sharing of not only experience but of plants and seed - GardenPrince is correct - we have a GREAT DEAL to be grateful for, right here!
