Does that mean Berryfields has gone?? I hope not but I must admit I like the look of having to turn that field into a garden! ;D
I think it has,would like to know where that field is in Brum. :)
As swift gone.
last year was really bad with all the chopping and changing (figure of speech), etc. hopefully this year will be better as they are starting fresh it should at least be more informative.
I see a security problem!
I will hold judgement but it looks as though it will be a lot better than the old format, I hope it is something like the late great Geoffrey Smith used to do,
PS i do hope that Swift as gone along with that scarecrow that used to be on, can't think of her name. ;)
If that is a sample of how the camera work is going to be, I feel a bit sick already! :P
I'd like to see an update on the allotment though...... ;)

:o :o :o Are you meaning 'Saint Carol' !!!! I'm shocked and upset, she's blummin brilliant. Don't take the name of Saint Carol in vain! (I'm not too shocked :) )
I love carol ;D

I love carol ;D
Yay!!!!! Well done Betula!! We should start a Carol appreciation society ;D , she's always being slated on here!
Please accept my vote against Carol ........ I hated all that gushing and squealing!!
Duke
Sounds good to me ;D
i am also a vote for no Carol...
... and that camera work made me too giddy as well... wish they'd go back to the good old Geoff H days...
mat
I like Carol in the Guardian, but please not on the telly any more.
I would much rather watch Carol than Alys. If anyone needs to be dumped from the programme it is Alys.

Enthusiasm is the word you're looking for Duke Ellington ::) , I LOVE the fact she has so much joi de vive!!! There are so many mediocre presenters on TV these days that we end up feeling they are the norm. Now 'Saint Carol' has personality by the wheelbarrow load!!! ;D
NOOOooooooo, not Alys.
Her little dog is the star of the program, only watch it for a glimpse of the little pet. :)
My little pets would make a much better job of it ;D

Yep, Duke's right. I can feel my toes curling just thinking about the gushing and squealing! ::) (And let's have more of Sarah Raven/Nicholson).
Put me down for the "no Carol" vote. I hope they start the new format fresh with new presenters who are real gardeners. I know Mr smith and Geoff Hamilton are no longer with use ( Boy do I miss Geoff) But they really knew their stuff and it`s people like them the programme needs.
I even found her scarves irritating!! :P
Duke
Not Sarah Raven,have you seen her on sissinghurst.Everything is about what she wants.........can't stand her.
Carol is Queen ;D

Having a dad who was "married" to Hyacinth Bucket can't have helped.
I agree with Froglegs (again) Let's have lots more of the lovely and very well informed Alys instead.
Bring back Alan Titchmarsh - I tnik he's gorgeous. But maybe he's too busy doing non gardening stuff. ::)
I like Joe- and he's the only one my OH will watch! Did you know his mother is the novelist Margaret Drabble? I enjoyed his programme this week.
Yes, Joe's programme about gardening in small urban spaces was interesting and full of ideas. This is the sort of subject he's good at.
