Dont know if anyone watched this, was very interesting, some of the villagers are utter aholes thougg especially the ex military guy who was conspicuous by his absence at the end

Mainly started this thread though as I know lot of PH'ers are Surrey based, if anyone knows the Andy guy tell him he is a legend and a thoroughly decent human being

I thought it was really good, and really heartwarming to see quite a few folk come to the guys aid. Was it a one off episode?

I only saw the trailer tonight and set the box to record it. Glad I did it would appear, sounds interesting on many levels.

The fat guy in the car that stopped to comment - what an absolute c***.

It is sad how people treat obviously vulnerable people, at least it ended on a more positive note. It shows how it only takes 1 person to have the guts and humanity to step aside from the bullying mob, set an example, and change things.

I didn't think he was the only one in the programme that had that look.

This reminded me of the village in Hot Fuzz, especially the guy saying he thought about setting fire to the place just because it is messy.

What a horrible place full of horrible people. Apart from obviously the gardener fella that connected with him, and rustled up a bit of help from the few "decent" people that lived there.
I think the vicar did put in an appearance clearing the garden though.
The old guy that threatened to torch the place to clean it up should be arrested and charged.
I rarely watch or comment on TV, but this has boiled my piss that such a bunch of "villagers" would let a vulnerable man get himself in such a state.

The "country's leading expert on hoarding" was a useless tt too. He spent a morning with the guy then gave up.

Yeah, I think he did.

It made for good viewing. Is there a follow up programme? Or was it left purposely to make you wonder what happened next...?

For cognitive behaviour therapy to work the person must admit that they have some sort of problem before they can continue. Otherwise they are trying to treat the untreatable. At that point in time he refused to believe that he has mental health issues

Andy the landscape gardener deserves a medal, genuinely nice bloke who achieved more than that useless expert ever could.
