Chelsea Flower Show 2008

[T-lady]

I'm afraid that each time the camera was on Titchmarsh I was mesmerized by his 'very' strange inward/upward pointing sideburns which seemed to have been grown far too high up - looked like an old-fashioned lady's kiss curl!

I'm so glad you guys are posting on this topic. I don't normally pop into this area of the forum too much but I had visited today to start a topic on this very subject. Alan, what have they done to you? (although you've managed to 'pull' Seahorse so I guess there are some benefits!)

Surely they're modelled on James T Kirk? I'm surprised you hadn't made the connection quark1

He's still lovely though

[moggssue]

I have to admit that I find some of the show gardens just too flash and false for me - I want ideas and inspiration and I'm not getting much of that this year somehow. sorry to be a damp squid folks ... I do love watching, but really - daffodils are not meant to be on display now - global warming is confusing enough without all that! Give me some good ole fashioned cottage gardens and veggie patches!!

Right - back to where you were! - Alan's facial hair I believe

[zazen999]

Can't say I am ever really into Chelsea; I just get angry about the pretentiousness of it all; sorry folks. Having said that, I do usually watch it because my OH likes it; but this year I can't really watch TV at the mo anyway so i saw the intro last week and that was it. I didn't watch until the end as it was.

If I understood what the actual point of it was then I might enjoy it.

Pootle - James T often sported some strange facial hair - but this is 'seriously' strange.

I have had another TV thought - perhaps Titch is considering branching out into acting and perhaps replace or stand-in for Dot Cotton!

Seriously Titch, if you're reading this - we do love 'yer really we do - but those sideburns HAVE to go!

[SueA]

Maybe they're going to bring back 'The Good Old Days' on T.V. (music hall variety show for those of you too young to remember!) & Alan is going to present it & is trying to grow a handlebar moustache between the sideburns to look the part!

Noooo!



Well maybe!

I would never consider crossing over a picket line so until Chelsea let gnomes in then I dont go in either.

.....so until Chelsea let gnomes in then I dont go in either.

they do Sis, they let me in

[Lady Jana Muck]

they do Sis, they let me in

That's what I'm doing making a stand for the little people. We have to stand up (climb on chairs) and be counted and we must fight for the right to gnome where ever we wish to gnome

[MrsC]

I've been just the once, it was a good experience but I doubt I would repeat it - far too many crowds for me - watching on screen is much easier on the tootsies.

Chris B - yuuummm, but isn't it odd that last year he got a pretty raw deal on his garden and this year he is a Judge

do you want me to say hi to him from you lol

[HeyWayne]

Noooo!


Well maybe!

Those are some fine pins there manda, good spot!

Watched it tonight for the first time (not ever, just this show) and wasn't overly impressed. Did like the Indiana Joe and the Temple of Bloom idea!

[petal]

sent me right to sleep the only garden i like is the cancer research one the rest leave me cold.

[lottielady]

Edible playground garden was fab but mostly all the same with white green and purple the main colours

[Ethansmum]

I'm really enjoying the presenters - especially Joe and Carol
