Monty Don addresses Gardeners’ World shake-up as viewers react to BBC show change
Monty Don took to Twitter and reminded his legion of viewers that Gardeners’ World would return to the BBC tonight and not the show’s regular slot on Friday. But some of his fans took issue with the show change as they expressed their disappointment.
The 67-year-old took to the micro-blogging site and explained the UEFA Women’s Euro 2022 had replaced the normal programme slot.
In view of his 266,000 followers, Monty penned: “Gardeners World is on at 8pm TONIGHT (apparently there is a football match on tomorrow evening) which will include a report from Tatton Park Flower Show as well as the latest from Longmeadow (filmed before this week’s heatwave).”
Social media users flocked to comment on the post as many admitted they would have to record the show instead of watching it live.
Twitter user, @ArleneJCook wrote: “Thanks so much for the reminder. We have the series on to tape but I would have been broken hearted had I missed it tonight!”
