I'm so glad that we are lucky enough to still have Monty and GW on Fridays..and I'm enjoying the new format...its something to look forward to..last nights episode was really lovely. ⚘

I really enjoy GW when Adam Frost is presenting he talks as if you’re there with him. I love his beautiful cats too.

Carol really annoys me with her flappy hands.

I'm so glad to see others aren't fans of CK. I find her style too much and she speaks a lot but says little. I thought Monty was off filming and he has a new book out so maybe at places selling that to the public. I like Monty and Adam. I would like more of Arit and Joe.

I didn't find the programme itself boring, Millie22, but I did think the gooseberry man was somewhat sad and very irritating. How his wife has put up with not going anywhere because of his gooseberry infatuation is beyond me - not something I would have put up with!

Calendargirl that means the whole lot was repeats! I agree about CK being irritating and why does she always wear cardigans that fall over her shoulders with the sleeves too long? Apart from that I really like the programme (although I must admit it seems otherwise grin) I really hope that if and when things get back to normal we can still have the occasional home video included, its nice to see other peoples gardens in all their variations, in particular the children, good to foster that interest early.

I agree that Carol's OTT delivery can be irritating and I tried to find the YouTube video of her first appearance on GW where she was just the opposite and sounded as though she'd just woken up!

It has been blocked due to 'copyright issues.' That's strange because I had no problems accessing it a few years ago when I posted it on here. hmm

I don't mind her cardigans but when she's at Chelsea she wears a suit with a shiny snake's skin patter.

It sets off my trypophobia. shock

Perhaps I was a bit harsh but it was all repeated stuff and goooooseberry man. The lady with the rose garden was lovely.

I enjoy GW and I don't dislike any of the presenters particularly. It is always interesting to see what people can achieve, especially with small or uninspiring plots. The lady who was on a few weeks ago who may have suffered with thalidomide was very inspirational. I shall never complain about mowing the lawn again.
