Tim Treloar is sounding more like the Third Doctor every time I hear him.

He sounds a lot more natural in the second set of 3DAs than he does in the first, and I imagine the next set he'll be even more comfortable playing the part. |

I quite enjoyed this but I'm now thinking Richard Franklyn should've played Yates as a Welshman

There's more than one gardener and they're not definite. Do you want to join with me and form the Club of Insistent Pedants? Keep in mind it's not the Insistent Club of Pedants. Splitters! Of course there is the common enemy, the Club of Pedantic Insistence. |

Good story and performed excellently by Tim Treloar with (apparently) a special guest appearance by Jon Pertwee. ( That was Tim Treloar too? Good grief! ) Seriously, his performance of 'my' Doctor started very well on the first 3DAs and keeps getting better and better, a delight for this fan of Seventies 'Who'. However, I would criticise the portrayal of the Doctor in one way (not the performance) - he seems unnecessarily rude and sarcastic even to his friends.
EDIT: On second listen a few months later (while gardening, oddly enough!), I mostly disagreed with myself about the above. The Doctor was sarcastic to Mike a couple of times, but on a second listen it felt more like humour between friends.

I always enjoy reading your comments on releases, number13. Whether I agree or not.  In this case, my disagreement is over the Doctor's rudeness. Overall, though, I loved this story, agree that Tim Treloar sounds a lot like Jon Pertwee. The actual subject matter of the story was fun, too, seemed like a familiar "aliens in unfamiliar guise" story, but I wasn't expecting the connection with the gardener Meredith, so that was a fun twist on a theme. |

I always enjoy reading your comments on releases, number13 . Whether I agree or not. Thanks Ela and I've been enjoying reading your comments on the STs most recently. And I think you're right about 'Gardener's Worlds'!
I also had a Short Trip season this summer, every evening watering the garden in our rare British summer heatwave and listening to another ST. Maybe it was the influence of the flowers but I decided it must have been me who was in a bad mood the first time I listened to this story.  |

Maybe those "flowers" are affecting you, too...  |
