I am loving the new look Gardener's World, no funny camera angles, no silly projects, just good, sensible tips and valuable experience from the presenters. I just can't take Toby seriously however when he appears in his Penelope Pitstop outfit. The boots OR the jacket on their own are Ok, but together, it's WACKY RACES!
Am I the only viewer who thinks this?

Probably.

I don't see Penelope Pitstop, but I do see Puss in Boots, or Peter Pan. The boots seem a bit incongrouous somehow, but they don't detract from what is now a very enjoyable programme, overall.

Oh good! I am so pleased someone else has asked about the boots and jacket. I haven't watched GW for nearly a year but tuned in tonight and throughout the whole programme all I could think was "Why on earth is Toby poncing around in the boots and jacket?"
Are they trying a new thing, a bit like Dr Who where each new GW presenter gets their own special look?
Is Toby doing some shocking product placement?
Does he secretly want to become a model?
All I know is it really tickled me
And dear Joe, I am really not sure what you were doing with that dirt wall. I never quite get what you do but if I ever saw you I think I would just have to give you a big hug. Bless xxx

I must admit - Penelope Pitstop did cross my mind too Alys and Carole are seemingly vying with each other as to who is wearing the most inappropriate scarf. Joe, is......just Joe.
Love 'em all ( 'cept Alys, sorry ) and loving the programmes this series

I love Toby's boots and only wish I could afford some. I've seen them at country fairs and they are apparently waterproof and they look so much more comfy than my wellies.
I hadn't noticed the jacket so I think his clothing is probably very sensible.

Nora, (are you any relation to Darwin by the way?) go to the Centre for Alternative Technology in Machynlleth where they have built a hugh new visitor centre with rammed earth. It's got all sorts of properties for building with, apparently.
I once built a seat out of turves covered with black plastic as I couldn't think of where to put them to rot down.
I suppose this wall of Joe's will eventually fall apart but we haven't seen all that he's going to do with it yet, I suppose.

You lot really are NEVER content. Can we not just enjoy the show? We got the improvements yet you still make constant digs... now about the outfits.
Since when was 'Gardeners World' 'Britains Next Top Model'? I wouldn't be suprised if you wanted the '30 minute fix' back, at least then you could moan more...

I couldnt care less what anyone is wearing on GW, I watch to find out whats new, what I could be doing better, perhaps.I must say Im quite enjoying this series, apart from Joe. Im sorry to say that as he cant reply, but I do feel he tries too hard to be a designer. Mo.

I too don't mind at all what the presenters are wearing. It Doesn't Matter!
In fact I think Those Boots are perfect for the job - I know, I have a pair of them; actually the second pair now, as the first finally wore out after 6 years of dog walking, gardening and general use. They are, in my opinion, ideal i.e. warm, comfortable, tough, hardwearing and totally waterproof. So, what's the problem if Toby has some too? Incidentally, I see that Helen Yemm - Daily Telegraph gardening columnist - wears a pair of the same make. Would you write to The Telegraph to criticise? I don't think so! Cheers! Ma.
