The new season begins on BBC2 next Friday. It's at 8.30 so guess we'll just be getting half an hour. I'm looking forward to it ,having been starved of TV gardening for so long.

    I preferred two years ago - last year it went back to 'traditional' and I lost interest again. I liked the more veg centric and simple style. When ever I see Carol Klein I have the urge to destroy the TV.

    I know exactly how you feel, she makes my skin itch.

    I love seeing Carol in her own garden,( wish it was mine), but I'm always distracted by her hair or earings ! Trouble is she finds everything so hysterically funny, all that chuckling, and I find myself wondering what on earth is so funny that she collapses with mirth every time she talks about a plant.
    Wish my garden was so amusing.

    Just to mention that there is an hour long episode tonight (BBC2 @ 8pm). A rare occurance this year, first hour one we've had I think.

    But aren't they at a garden show? So no "real" gardening IMO

    I tend to skip most of GW, just like to watch Monty and occasionally a bit of Carole mainly in her garden. Not slightest bit interested in other peoples gardens. Shame BBC with there scheduling have ruined this program all in the name of sport. They could have least put it on bbc3/4 if sport was on

    I noticed the Titchmarsh program isn't on this year

    Oh yes it is. :D
    First of 6 hour long programs on Tuesday June 26th at 8pm.
    So you have Love your garden on a Tuesday and Beechgrove on a Friday and they can stick Monty Don where the sun dont shine as far as I'm concerned.
