Monty Don has treated fans to behind-the-scenes glimpses of filming for the new series of Gardeners' World, which returns this Friday (March 13) at 8pm on BBC One. The show has been on a three-month winter break, and Monty is now back in action alongside Adam Frost.
Appearing via video call on Tuesday's Morning Live, Monty confirmed that filming for the new series is well underway. He revealed that the crew had already filmed for about half an hour that morning, and that the series will run through to the end of October. 'What we're filming today, we'll go out next Friday,' he explained.
Teasing what viewers can expect, Monty said: 'Programme one, we had some lovely weather... I cleared the grass borders and I planted raspberries. All the daffodils are starting to come out... There are lots of jobs to do in the garden.' He also mentioned that the series will follow Adam Frost as he transforms his new garden.
Monty's dog Ned made a brief appearance during the interview. Monty noted that Ned 'has filmed from day one since he was a puppy' and 'loves it'. Gardeners' World airs Fridays at 8pm on BBC One, while Morning Live is on weekdays from 9:30am.
