Post by: northfifeduckling on January 21, 2010, 04:50:35 pm
Is anyone else going to watch this? I quite enjoyed Monty Don's previous programs and his writings in the Observer (I think) years ago, looking forward to this one!  :&>

Yes, will def try and remember to watch.. even though my o/h will complain all the way through that he doesnt like Monty  D cos he's too smug...
I think he's done good things for britains gardeners, and the soil association, so lets hope this prog is well done

I'm going to try to watch it, I like Monty Don - he comes across as a lovely person and like many others he hasn't had his troubles to seek.  I believe he suffered from depression for a long time.

I've set the machine to record. I'm sure we ie TAS was approached by the production company to see if anyone wanted to do it but you WAS ALL CHICKEN!

I felt that he wasn't helping out that much other than giving moral support and introducing them to the pickiest buyers as an exercise. But moral support (watch your health) is something. I think they were doing great! And I'd love to have one of them duvets, lol. Will definitely be watching next week! :&>

M and S do very nice wool duvets;and i'd say they're a lot easier to get hold of to. That couple don't appear to have a website so no getting it direct sadly.

I had chance to see Monty last night on T.V and thought it was a " top "program ... and I am looking forward to next week, he used to live not far from me and every one speaks highly of him.

I haven't watched any tv for ages, building extension etc. Hoping to catch this on more 4 as I think he is quite a hunk and very easy to listen to! Makes a change from all the "engine" programmes we have to endure for the males of my home.

Same in this household - all engines and mega machines and cop programmes! I was very surprised when they sat down to watch the wartime kitchen and garden with me a few weeks ago  :o I do like Monty Don, but missed the programme, so have to find it somewhere on Channel 4's website.

Just watched both episodes back to back.  Great stuff, although I think I preferred the Dutch couple - more down to earth I think.  Have made an appointment with myself for next Thursday on my phone with the alarm set!  Can't miss it this time!
