Monty Don, the presenter of the popular BBC Two gardening show, has revealed that producers sometimes make changes to the weather and set design to create a more engaging viewing experience. His confession has sparked debate about the boundaries of reality television.
The BBC , already facing scrutiny over alleged fakery in its programming, is now embroiled in a new controversy involving its beloved gardening show, Gardeners' World . Monty Don , the show's long-time presenter, has admitted to producers occasionally tweaking reality for a more compelling viewing experience. Don revealed that on one occasion, heavy rain forced the crew to use hairdryers to dry the filming equipment and cameras.
To maintain continuity, Don jokingly admitted that they had to create fake rain by holding a hosepipe over his head. Don also shared instances where they used a crane to dangle a tennis ball to make his late dog, Nigel, look up, and a fake shed that remained just a front panel for years. Don's candid confessions have sparked debate about the extent to which reality television should be altered for entertainment purposes
