Can't imagine for one minute that Meat would be involved in another series of this, I very much doubt he'll move to the UK for however many weeks just to appear on this for an hour a week with nothing else to promote.
I hate to say it (here comes another Lucy Lead Balloon) but I'm not sure that Meat would be in the show's selected line up again anyway. One of the things that drove me crazy with that show was that the whole set up just seemed thrown together. Catherine Jenkins and the other fabulous curly-haired guy whose name's run away from me are obviously a must, but with Meat, Laurence and Alan Titchmarsh there just seemed to be quite weak reasons as to why they were there...it seemed a bit "Titchmarsh once attended an opera so we'll have him!"
I also don't think Meat was that well-received by the general public and press. Personally I thought he was great but we all "get" Meat and understand where he's coming from when he goes crazy, but I think Joe Bloggs watching it massively misunderstood him and I'm not sure the show's producers would go there again.
