Very sad news, Gardener's World presenter Monty Donn's lovely companion Nigel has died. He was there on last week's show, afterwards had seizures and died.

Re: Sad News! Nigel died

Only by chance did l watch the end of Gardeners’ World the other day and caught an interview with a really good presenter (who l googled because he was so good) who was talking to the singer Will Young.
Will Young’s garden was beautiful and he had lovely dogs too.
Next, Monty Donn came on and l noticed he had a retriever, who must have been Nigel?

How sad that, that was the first and last time, l ever saw Nigel.

He had two lovely Goldies, Art. That is why I said his other dog will miss his friend.


Tess I didn't know about the Yorkie. I will have to look out for that.

Re: Sad News! Nigel died

We always liked seeing Nigel. He loved following Monty about with his tennis ball but mostly he liked lazing about. I remember when Nelly first appeared and she made a right nuisance of herself but eventually she and Nigel got on ok. When I saw the new puppy, I had an idea that Nigel would soon be off to Rainbow Bridge.

Farewell Nigel - TV Star.

RIP
