Sure enough you have a sense of humour.

I did say most  :oops:

I agree with everything that everyone has said on here and doubly so for showing more about hens and other allotment reared animals and how about bees too.

I've said before that programmes like GW (until the rein of Monty Don) have concentrated far too much on growing flowers and visiting spectacular show gardens.

I don't like it when shows expect you to be an experienced gardener either - Alan Titchmarsh was great for explaining techniques every year even though he had talked it through in depth the year before.

As for the presenter - could we please NOT have someone who just presents - no pretty boys or airhead girls who just look good in front of the camera.

There's a whole load of gardening talent on this forum alone; why not feature some of the allotments from around the country?

Also, would your show continue on through the winter?  a lot of shows are spring-autumn only but there's still stuff to be done during the winter and it could be a good time to do all of the rotation and planning stuff, just like a real gardener would.

Good luck - can't wait to see it!

pretty boys can learn how to grow a carrot too you know.....

but brucie in a floral dress will be welcome

Brucie out of his dress would be even more welcome

One thing that really annoyed me about the Carol Klein series last year was the constant misty, blurry shots of gardens with a 'dreamy' soundtrack. If I want this effect I can do it myself by having a few sips of homemade wine and lying in the veg plot without my glasses on  :roll: . Let's have something practical!

well said!

A programme such as you are suggesting is the stuff of dreams for many on here.  It would be interesting to know who you work for and what you have done in the past.  Also, are we talking BBC or commercial channels?  Finally, why now, why us?

Someone mentioned presenters. Take a look at this video and tell me what you think. This is a new presenter we are looking at. What do you think? This is a screen test and first time he was in front of a TV camera, so please be constructive. It's not as easy as people think.

i don't really enjoy the gardening programmes that are on at the mo - tv wise - i don't listen to the radio much - unless it's through the tv - then its planet rock usually   on very loud  

i think that there are too many presenters that are too far up their own RR's - in gardening and everything else - tv does like the pretty boy / girl - i'm biased because i'm an ugly looking creature  :roll:

old big boobs and water features
floppy don
alan tit-something
another tv gardener - won't name -   offered to prune a friends apple tree - they said yes - because he was off the telly - and it's nearly dead now - so who do they ask to get it back to something tree like  :roll:

although i really dislike this reality tv culture that we now have - i think i would be more inclined to watch the real life struggles and achievements of real people - in real gardens - and  who really care about their plots, the kids, the enviroment etc  - than a load of overpaid twots who think that they know it all

 :twisted:  i'm back off to gyo - proper
