Another ***** rich kid to$$er. This series has been really disappointing what with all the losers they have featured. What ever happened to the people who had a bit of gumption and genuine creativity?

Looks like you'll need to watch Grand Designs to find that. Luckily thats on next.

Don't sit on the fence, UB, tell us what you really think.

Corgi

Because we all want to know your opinion.

unclebuck

Well, you know what I mean.... I want to watch these programmes to learn something, not to watch some gimp show me how *not* to do it. Ah well....

Did you watch 'The Power of Nightmares' part 1? That was very educational.

Yeh Don't trust anyone bearing idelogies of any sort.

UB, I missed Property Ladder so can't comment.

Saw The Power of Nightmares, great prog. Pity they put it on BBC2 and not BBC1.

GaryK

Yep the best asset(s) that program has are underneath sarah beenies tops! The idiots doing the houses up do make for some entertainment.

Guy seemed ok to me .......

Certainly not an opinionated to55er like you occasionally find on here

At least he did listen, and decided not to create a 4 bed 'family' home with a tiny garden in the wrong part of town. And they do give you all the costs. He didn't do too bad spending £24k instead of the budgeted £20k, just paid far too much for the property in the first place.

Grand designs used to tell you how much budget, what everything cost, estimated final value, but seems to have dropped that approach now which is a shame. But £500,000 budget for your holiday home, shows what dosh there is in interior design.

Both good progs IMHO.

property ladder gets on my t!ts, really can't stand that know it all woman shes so patronising.... grand designs is a great program but I find its something that we just sit and dream to cause theres no ways I'll be affording the mojority of stuff. must admit though not seen 1 property on that program thats has been poor.

speedking

I don't think the 'downstairs' of last nights property will match the upstairs when finished Bright new wood, concrete replacing old timber, cracks in the walls, inadequate foundations, concrete floors, etc. The 'upstairs' looked good because it was true to her vision, the downstairs will be like any other modern french chalet.

She doesn't really bother me, but we do have a running joke in our house about how every single week you get the "it's day 3 of the project and already they are 2 months behind schedule and thousands of pounds over budget...." comment

The boy did seem a bit misguided, but he did O.K in terms of how much he spent on the work, even saved some money over the plan in some places.

I like to see them fvck it up - makes me feel good inside.

Just when you thought Beenies **** were at their full potential, she goes and gets up the duff and grows another couple of cup sizes.

The Downstairs is for her Visitors / paying guest - Be worth booking it up and having all night parties just to upset her, her hubby and felix & Fido (or whatever the kids names were)

.

Did enjoy the bit when she was talking about HER place and Hubby was talking about OUR place - Divorced within 5 years .

Missed it, is it repeated?

white van man

Had to chuckle at that comment too, bet the bloke was well chuffed.

Buckrogers

Clue is in the question?! By learning what not to do you are learning something surely?

It does seem though that C4 find all of the "difficult" ones to feature on the show. Can't remember ever seeing one person that knew what they were doing?

Grand Designs was good. Shame about the "new" wood used.
Foundations would still worry me though!

32K on a kitchen, if I was hubby, she better know how to cook fine food....!

Stueyb

Well if people knew what they were doing it wouldn't be so entertaining would it

jasey

She looked suprised when the presenter pointed out the Double Oven - She was probably thinking "I hope he doesn't ask me what that thing does !"

gsm1

The one with the two girls the other week was a total scam. None of the pricing added up and we went from footage of two novices peeling a bit of wallpaper and generally faffing about to a well finished home in a relatively short time.

Also Beeny tends to give advice deliberately late, so she looks good and the owners look like plums.

GaryK

LMFAO!!!

Deano, nice to see it isnt just me that judges the whole program on her current cup size and what she is wearing!!!!
