Hugely knowledgeable, relatively young, charming and practical. What more could you ask for?
Chris Beardshaw would make the perfect presenter.
Come on Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú!
My impression was that he either wasn't asked or he didn't want the job as he was already too busy.
Great idea he would be perfect.
Beardshaw has been promoted ad nauseam/ad infintitum by many "others". It didn't work then. No reason to suppose it will now.

I did get slightly irritated with the CB supporters club when he wasn't awarded the top prize in one of the big RHS shows a couple of years ago (can't remember which). There seemed to be quite a big fuss and the implication was that the judges hadn't done their duty.
I have a hazy memory of reading on CB's website that he wasn't particularly interested in fronting GW. His work at Pershore College was more interesting and fulfilling. He does seem to have a lot of fingers in lots of pies!

I got the impression it all went a bit sour when he presented GW with Monty, culminating in pink dahlia-gate.
No thank you. I think Chris Beardshaw was manufactured in the same factory as Kimi Raikonnen - they seem to share the same spooky expressionless faces!
My own problem with cb is the way he has continued the myth that peonies can not be moved, and are difficult plants.
I have some that my father had, they have moved from one town to another back in Kent, and 7 years ago moved to Dorset. Choose the right time and the right planting depth and they are fine.
CB certainly not my cup of tea "appears" to appeal more to the female fraternity who fall for the two sizes too small T shirts and bulging muscles-how fickle they are!!!
In saying that a much rounder and perhaps more challenging test which I think he is more suited to is co-presenter on the Country Lives programme on Discovery Real Time (ch 240 Sky)

Cycling Gardener:
I'm curious to know what was 'pink dahlia-gate'?
I'm assuming one of them wasn't too keen on having it anywhere near their herbaceous borders next to their Rudbeckias perhaps?
I think the garden CB designed which didn't do very well according to the judges was his tribute garden to Hidcote, which although very pretty wasn't seen as very original. But I might be wrong. Did it win the People's Choice award?
I find CB a little too dry.... oh where is the happy medium of someone who is knowledgeable without being dull as well as engaging without being manic?

Though I generally dislike personal attacks, I had to laugh when my neighbour's 14 year old daughter walked into the room where her mother and I were watching something CB was presenting a few months ago, and after asking who the "pregnant bloke" was, she replied, "Hmm, Bradshaw no-neck".
Nobody can please them all!
