This is the type of show where you could do with somebody alongside the presenter (who appears to know nothing about gardening she is prepared to share at least) who DOES know their subject. That older woman they used to have on previous gardening shows, she was really good. But I suppose she went down with the Good Ship Ideal World Version Two and won’t be returning. They seem to have numerous presenters who believe they know how to make price comparisons with everything a garden centre sells, but few if any now who know anything about gardening.

I will admit I thought a Dash Cam was a Dash Cam

It's like any camera, you get what you pay for. If you use a disposable fixed focus and expect wonderful close ups forget it. To me the most important factors in a dashcam are the field of view (wide and clear is best) the resolution (at least HD) and low light capabilities. Some HD cameras switch to a lower resolution in the so called 'night vision'. You want to be able to read number plates. And the way the footage is recorded. Can you easily stop it and save the footage in an accident (most decent dashcams allow this). I think I saw it mentioned when they were flogging the unbranded dashcam on Ideal World that if you want to keep the recording just pop out the card. If they are Micro SD cards they are tiny, imagine dropping it after popping it out. They don't cover the basics of a product by showing us. They do a lot of waffle. Not only that but the information on the website is almost as vague. They gloss over some of the features as unimportant.
 
She must be thinking what am I going to talk about for an hour with this bloody cane again? I’m surprised her husband isn’t there? He could then pretend to be a bloke who’s getting on in years, a bit stiff in his movements, and only a few years off his bus pass, modelling it. Well, I say ‘pretend’…

Now, say you’re out walking to the local shops, you old fool, and you suddenly fall off the side of a nearby cliff on the way.. Now you can listen in fractured agony to this wonderful Corgi car sounding siren noise. You could then die in agony while listening to it….Now…on to happier things.. Falling down a flight of stairs.,, We are so busy…we are in meltdown…Canes flying out of the door and gits out of the window…

There was a perfect opportunity for a fresh new start, with more transparency in selling techniques, and some interesting new branded products to bring to air. But so far at least, more of the same hysterical selling techniques like Simon is known for. Jess, for recent example, telling us a £14.99 plastic light would be around £40 in a garden centre with no evidence to support the claim. Presenters in general telling us cheap dash cams will save us money with our insurers with no groundwork evident to substantiate that claim. Making direct comparisons to similar products significantly more expensive and then immediately withdrawing them. - the seed is sown. And an almost total focus on low cost, unbranded, or unheard of branded, small margins, sold in numbers (you assume) items. You do wonder if the Ideal World brand name is a particularly attractive proposition for well known brands to want to work with? Having gone down twice already, you wonder if it is tainted beyond repair - despite the new owners having nothing to do with previous events. It remains extraordinarily puzzling why they wanted to bring it back?

I did say, absolutely nothing would change ;)

Same presenters, same bullsh1t, I was going to say same products as well which some are, however many of them are even worse than IW's original offerings.

Sorry if this sounds horrible however I hope it fails, because it deserves to.
