After watching the new Gardeners World on Friday 03/04/09 my husband & I were quite perplexed that Toby Buckland constantly refered to items on the show as - My Shed - My New Greenhouse - My new Site. Are all these items not paid for by the Licence fee payers and as such are OURS, and by my reckoning there are at least three other team members on the show.
Until they rename the programme THE TOBY BUCKLAND GARDENING SHOW - perhaps Mr Buckland should show a little mopre team spirit.
Oh good grief.
Indeed Paul... My OH raises his eyebrows at me when I refer to the garden as "my garden", likewise with the house. Am I bovvered?!
Toby is great.. I have watched him on other programs and always enjoyed his approach to gardening...give him a chance...
Sorry but my exasperation was at the pettiness of the first post. I don't give a jot about 'I' or 'My' or 'Our', just as long as the programme makes an immediate improvement.

I can fully understand were poppy54 is coming from on the subject of Toby refering to this as his. Past presenters have always given Gardeners World a community feel, and have made use viewers feel that we are all apart of what is going on, on the program, with Toby refering to things as his, i do feel that this approuch takes away, what i thought made Gardeners World unique, (the feeling that we were apart of the show too)
He's alright though, Toby, he's fairley new to presenting so i forgive him.
Ah but you don't love him as much as Carol though, do you Marcus?
Is it me or is there an influx of totally pointless threads this week?

Spot on Stormy_Pink, no one comes close to the FANTASTIC CAROL.
I have my grave doubts about Audrey in Coronation Street!
I just cant see how Gail could be her daughter!
There just is no resemblance....
Gail is a Hybrid....Could someone please help me identify the motherplant?
This is important......to me!
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!
Hi
I personally don't care whether Toby refers to items as his, theirs or ours; I find him and the rest of the team relatable, fun and 'normal', it's nice to see a warts and all approach.
It must be hard and exciting for anyone to fill the shoes of the gardening greats, he deserves a chance to settle in.
