The Gardeners' World Blog

We've announced today the appointment of an editor for our new Sports News programme that's going to launch on BBC Television next year. She's Amanda Farnsworth - currently editor of Daytime News, which means the One O'Clock and Six O'Clock bulletins on BBC One.

The biography on our website understandably focuses on her years in BBC News, but she's emphatically a sports fan too. Her team is the current Premiership form side - yes, West Ham United.
