It was 1000% better than Gardeners World - which could cure insomnia

Agreed, but I got pretty tired watching Beechgrove.

Agreed, but I got pretty tired watching Beechgrove.

GW was a bit like 'one man and his dog' - when the only bit you looked forward to was seeing the dog - Beechgrove to be honest always makes me thinks this is what GW should be like - whoever at the BBC thinks GW is fit for purpose should be shot - I am waiting for the day when MD hits the producer, please let it be soon.........

From what I've seen of GW it's 1000% better than what we have on TV here!
Our local gardening program has been turned into a children's show compered by a garden gnome
cheers

From Beechgrove :

"It's no secret, spread the news: Beechgrove is back next Thursday 7.30pm BBC2 Scotland and Sunday morning BBC2. "



Look out for the segment filmed at the SRGC Show in Kincardine...... and  in May, Ian Young  with Carole Baxter on the subject of  troughs for  alpines

Hi Graeme I have to admit I don't really care much for monty don, they should have put carol in charge and have it based at glebe cottage. I always fat forward the bits when monty is on.

I would agree. When I met Carol a few years ago I said she should be in charge and she said she's never been asked

Well that says it all Mark, the bbc has a thing about older ladies and not in a good way. Wasn't there something a bit back about some of the older lady presenters on countryfile? Not wanting them on screen when they reach a certain age?

[ian mcdonald]

With age comes wisdom. I have also met Carole.

As an Australian I can say both programmes are a lot better than our gardening television. I've watched a bit of both and I have to say I don't get why you all prefer Beechgrove over Gardener's World. Monty Don is fine as a presenter..? And Carol Klein is fantastic, knowledgeable and personable. I especially loved her "Life in a Cottage Garden" series.
Can you explain what you don't like about Gardener's World?

[johnstephen29]

Hi Jamus speaking for myself I like gardeners world, it's just monty don I'm not keen on, like I said earlier in this topic I would have preferred carole klein to have presented it. I have never seen beechgrove, I hope to remedy that come next week.
