This video celebrates that I’m proud to be a YouTube gardener. Being a gardener and on YouTube I can think of nothing better. I wanted to share a typical day in the life of a YouTube gardener. Enjoy.
This video was in relation to this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oAdI6IRS55g
I Was Rejected by BBC Gardeners’ World | BBC Gardeners’s World Failed Audition. BBC Gardeners’ World is one of the BBC flagship gardening shows and has been running for many years. A few month’s ago I was asked to audition for a spot on the BBC Gardeners’ World show. This is the story of that failed attempt.

Brilliant cinematography! You are doing a fantastic job – only a few years ago it would have needed a full film crew to achieve- much appreciated. Look forward to every next instalment!

Tony as is always the case, you see another place and decide that’s where you’d rather live. Watching the video of your little town and the cliffs etc. I really wouldn’t mind living there. I hope I’m right to say it seems like a nice simple place where you can relax with some neighbors and have a chat etc. not quite that way here in the states. Far from it. very nice video. Take care.
And the BAFTA Award for Best Video goes to…… honesty Tony you have excelled with this one. By the way, what music is playing? Heard it before on your channel a few times.
My goodness Tony..what a wonderful video today. Incredible. When you came upon the view of whatever body of water that was it brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for sharing your wonderful blessing of your day. Music was fitting especially after spending the morning in the gardens and sitting down with a glass of water and watching the treat you had for us today. Very refreshing.
That dog walk – may be the luckiest dogs around. Absolutely beautiful. The drone shots were definitely worth almost losing it. Lol.
Oh my goodness! I think this is my favorite video! The walk with the dogs, that coastline! How you do different shots with the cameras. You face planted to the bed 😂. The drone shots just wonderful ❤️. Daisy sure has grown up hasn’t she? I love the way her tail curls up. Oh Tony thank you for the video. I can’t say enough to say how much I like this!
🤩🙏
Thank you for sharing Tony. My shoulders just dropped when I saw you and the dogs walking toward the ocean. Loved the camera work
some views you have for walking tony great shots and a tough life.
Simply stunning, thank you 👌
So lovely. I could watch all day. X
Great video Tony. Ive just started gardening this year and in all honestly prob a bit late. But your videos gave me the confidence to go for it …….i look forward to them….and all the tips learning about vegetable growing. Keep up the good work.

makes me think of when I lived by the coast, such a nice way to start the day 😁 a lovely video, thanks Tony 😁
I agree totally that Gardeners World missed out! Gotta hand it to you Tony, I didn’t realise just how much work was involved behind what we see as the finished video. I’m humbled at all the time and effort you put in to each video and I’m sure I speak for all who subscribe….. we really appreciate your work, thank you! 👏🏼🍻

Wonderful video Tony, really enjoyed it. Stunning scenery. Keep up the good work. X
What was the backround music please. X
Tony what a great video, i love the shots of the lighthouse backing off, just back from a 2hour cliff walk near a lighthouse, can appreciate. I laughed at the bed fall shot 😂. Jez the mouthgaurd camera thing is nuts. You do a great job Tony, so much you give to your audience. Thanks so much.
Brilliant and I love the cove thanks for sharing
Great video, I hope your drone still works. I'd rather give you my licence fee than pay the BBC.
Hello Tony, what an Amazing start of your day as you got off your night shift.
Beautiful beach, thank you for sharing your day, much appreciated!
Nice one bonnie lad, looks a bit like north east Scotland where you are and this one 👈loves the water too🎾
Loved it. Thank you for sharing!
I don't know why 'The Beeb' even bothered asking you to audition and then say that your footage was too good. They more than likeley checked out your channel, and the others they claim were too professional. They wasted their time AND YOURS.
But on the bright side, they said you were professional, well, you have put your heart & sould into your allotment garden (and the quality of filming).
Love your channel. Keep it up <3
Great video Tony. I enjoyed seeing some of the beautiful area you live in. Fun with your dogs.. it's amazing. You're doing a great job! Thanks for all your sharing.
Really loved that Tony… brightened my day big time… you make me chuckle out loud… thanks ps what’s the music?
Such a beautiful video, GW don't know what they're missing. And I always wondered how you got the hands free shots, never occured to me that you hold the camera with your mouth!
Really enjoyed the behind the scenes look. It is very clear all the hard work you put in to making the videos just for out enjoyment. Thanks very much for your hard work. Eamonn
Absolutely fantastic video what drone do you use mate brilliant footage Liverpool YNWA LFC
Wow!! Great vid Tony 👌👌
Wow your a great cinematographer, beyond being a presenter, they missed out but we all love your videos!!!! Love it!
Tony where about are you in Newcastle , what a lovely place you live , I've 2 dogs myself and the time with them are precious, monty don as missed out , how do you find the time , I do 12 hour shifts and struggle with my garden , never mind an allotment and your own garden .
Keep up the good work Tony ❤️
What a lovely video Tony, loved watching the dogs on their walk( We had Dobbie`s, such a great breed ), great Channel& superb camera work, liked & subscribed. ….Oh and yes, this is definitely BBC`s loss that`s for sure !
Nother night shift? BBC lost a good opportunity, you didn't even swear.
Lovely to see a fellow dog lover and gardener. I couldn’t let my daft whippies so close to the cliffs though not in Cornwall they are pretty high.
Came from small garden quest, keep it up!
Well Tony, you may not be the worlds best at spelling or pronunciation for that matter but man, are you some videographer. Amazing how one amateur can single handedly produce such professional videos. Some instruction videos on your kit and how you use it would be worth paying for!
Absolutely stunning video Tony, thank you…….us Geordies are very lucky. 🌻🌻
Just starting my allotment (Redcar) just 10 minutes walk from the beach. Know the area you live and like all the North it is God's own Country.
Cannot believe Gardeners World rejected you as too 'professional'!! Would have been ideal to show difference in seasonal growing North-v-South.
Great videos and excellent advice.
Cheers
Mal.
Absolutely beautiful coast, dogs love it. Not to sure about the camera in the trap door thou. 🤮👏👏👏
