Return of the Baggywag

Hurrah! His Organic Jerkinness Lord Monty Don will be returning to our screens next year in a new Channel 4 series called 'My Dream Farm' about people trying to set up their own rural smallholding. The show is about people who give up high-powered jobs to live the rural dream in "an exciting project that encapsulates the nation’s interest in issues such as self sufficiency, the origins of our food and the achievability of a lifestyle choice that nurtures the soul as well as the bank balance." This promises to be nearly as good as the Sissinghurst Saga.

Unfortunately it won't be screened until Spring next year when we will also have the 'Matthew Wilson Diaries' aka Landscape Man to view. This is a long time for the Sock to have to wait for inspiration for her bloggywog. What is to be done in the meantime now they have rendered Gardeners' World so unwatchable that nobody even squabbles about it on the Beeb messageboards? The only solution is to get rid of the entire presentation and production team of GW and start again with Chris Beardshaw in charge! The Sock was right all along - if only they had listened!
