There is no question that what you saw was what you got with my dad: the late, great Geoff Hamilton was as enthusiastic and likable in real life as he appeared every Friday night on the television programme Gardeners’ World. This book picks up where The Right Genes finished and continues his story through to his untimely death in 1996.

With the help of some extraordinarily talented BBC producers, Dad developed and presented gardening programmes of exceptional quality for seventeen years. His ideas were always original but practical enough for any gardener to adopt, and his warmth on screen gained him millions of fans.

Many of the stories in this book show how the programmes were made whilst others describe his life off screen; all of these anecdotes illustrate his dedication both to horticulture and to his followers.
