BBC viewers were all expressing the same sentiment just minutes into Gardeners’ World following a scheduling shake-up.
The cherished programme, which features presenters offering tips and gardening expertise from their personal plots and properties, typically broadcasts between mid-March and late October on BBC Two every Friday, taking a four-month winter hiatus, reports Gloucestershire Live.
But this week saw a scheduling alteration as it was shown on Thursday evening instead. “#gardenersworld on a Thursday? Oh, yes. At #rhswentworth,” one enthusiast posted on X.
Another commented: “It will take more than a change of day to stop us #GardenersWorld fans from watching the best programme on television.”
A third penned: “Indoors in time for some #GardenersWorld action this evening. “Now for #GardenersWorld on a Thursday again,” another remarked. The timetable adjustment was made so the show could spotlight a new horticultural exhibition at RHS Wentworth Woodhouse.
Opening the programme as they strolled through the exhibition at Wentworth Woodhouse, presenter Arit Anderson said to Joe Swift: “Take a look back at that house, that facade is the longest in the UK.
“It’s a wonderful setting, what a backdrop,” he responded. Arit then informed audiences: “It’s a Gardeners’ World first, we are spending the day at the first ever RHS Flower Show, Wentworth Woodhouse.”
The episode featured highlights from the South Yorkshire flower show, where Chris Myers discussed the importance of gardening to coal miners and emerging talents in the horticultural sector showcased their latest offerings.
“This truly is a show with a difference, flying the flag for the horticultural North,” Arit remarked.
Earlier today, the official Gardeners’ World Instagram account shared news of the location change with a photo of the presenters at the event, captioning it: “We’ve just spent the last couple of days filming at RHS Wentworth Woodhouse – a brand new flower show based in South Yorkshire. Find out what caught our attention tonight at 8pm on BBC Two. It’s a must-watch!”.
Fans were quick to express their excitement, with one commenting, “It was a beautiful day yesterday, looking forward to watching tonight,”. Another chimed in saying: “Looking forward to watching. We love visiting Wentworth Woodhouse.”
