Re: BBC must stop dumbing down gardening shows,

**K*@aol.com**

I am not sure what that was about either. Alan Titchmarsh did a much more  
light hearted garden show and almost got eclipsed by Charlie, the female 
cohost,  towards the end. If I recall correctly it went toward the instant 
garden  make over that we all know so well. 

Does the  Royal Hort Society prefer in depth plant profiles and shows  
about jaunts to New Zealand to see the foliage there??? Surely there is room for 
 all sorts of garden shows, - darn it there is a whole channel here devoted 
to  cooking, why can't we develop garden shows that address all levels from 
the  beginner to the expert and respect all of them?

As I've  not seen any BBC programmes since I was last in the UK 4 years 
ago, I don't  feel qualified to weigh in here. Who has witnessed this 
'dumbing-down'  first-hand? Can anyone cite any concrete examples of things that 
should not be  occurring in the self-professed "nation of gardeners?" Or direct 
me to some  such examples I can weigh myself,  online?
