I'm very excited, pleased and relieved, that's four in a row and I'm going to take next year off.
So far I've beenÌývery busy,Ìýfilming non-stop, I quite like it though, it's a lot of fun. As well as work, you have to go out every night it's compulsory! It's just as well they have these special eye-drops in make-up to stop them looking red!

But it crossed my mind (as someone who has a terraced house built on a mountainside with steps down into a sloping garden...and with all this health and safety business these days...)
there are no hand rails alongside the steps!!!!! Not even a bush to grab hold of!
So here's a challenge.
To get real, may be show designers could incorporate some fantastic and inspiring health and safety features in their gardens that set off the planting and landscaping - especially when the design concept is based on ill health and disability
- and demonstrate that we don't have to put up with hiddeous practical utilitarian solutions which spoil many an otherwise beautiful garden. Then, maybe, a garden could be worth a Platinum Award - just that little cut above! (Well, I did hear someone raise the question of what can you do when the standards get ever higher.)

I would ask him if he really want to show what can be done in a postage sized front garden - he considers one about 3m by 1.5m - and that needs to include the path to the front door and 3 wheelie bins !!! Sometimes, Garden presents do not consider the real world. Sorry Alan !!!
