Gardening enthusiast, horticultural journalist and broadcaster Alan Titchmarsh recently spoke candidly about whether or not he’d be interested in a Ground Force reunion alongside his erstwhile co-star Charlie Dimmock.
And, spoiler alert, he didn’t sound keen on the idea.
Which isn’t to say he doesn’t want to keep working with Charlie. They appeared alongside each other just the other day (December 29), a whopping 27 years since their first show together!
That was for a one-off episode of Alan’s Love Your Weekend. But are there more afoot? Possibly not.

Alan Titchmarsh dismisses idea of Charlie Dimmock Ground Force reunion
In conversation with Hello! Magazine, green-thumbed TV personality Alan Titchmarsh spoke about the possibility of teaming back up with Charlie Dimmock.
They used to present Ground Force together.
The show launched in 1997, and it was part of the BBC’s regular output for 12 series. During that time, it travelled from BBC One to BBC Two.
Alan left the show in 2002. Three years later, it ended. Why? Because it had reached the “end of its natural life,” it was reported.
“I think Ground Force is very much of its time,” Alan told the magazine. “We both loved it. We’ve both moved on since, so I think it’s nice to keep Ground Force where it was.”
So, no more Ground Force. But Alan still likes Charlie – there’s no beef between them.
