Striking Yorkshireman Rob MacGregor is quick to find his feet as the replacement presenter of a stuck-in-a-rut gardening programme. His good looks, allied with an unstoppable natural enthusiasm, soon make him a favorite for the greenfingered brigade. And that's half his trouble... Rob finds out the hard way that TV superstardom involves more than shedding light on plants. In-fighting, jealousy and politics take their toll. So, in a different way, does sexy news presenter Lisa Drake. But when his father's long-established nursery -- and only livelihood -- is threatened, Rob realizes it might be time to leave the glamour behind...

Mr. MacGregor (1998) is a lovely light read, written by a TV gardener (Alan Titchmarch), about a TV gardener. It is a novel though, and apparently only partly based on the authors real life.
"Rob MacGregor, hired to recapture the declining audience for a daytime gardening programme, quickly becomes Britain’s latest heartthrob. The only trouble is, Rob’s co-presenter is not at all pleased to see his thunder stolen. Nor is Rob’s longterm girlfriend, Katherine, pleased to find out that Rob’s been having a steamy affair with one of the TV station’s newsreaders…Rob’s career goes from strength to strength, but he finds the in-fighting and TV politics harder and harder to cope with - and he’s becoming increasingly concerned about his recently widowed father, who seems to be in danger of losing the small nursery the family has run for generations. Somebody is desperate to buy that land, and Rob is determined to find out why…" (blurb)
The things I liked most about the story were the politics and backstabbing in the TV world, the touching description of his dad and the niceness of the main character Rob. Very funny in places.
Interesting detail: A popular Dutch TV gardener is called Rob (although last names differ). (
