2M plus...
Felt as though the programme missed a lot of what went on.

Incredible. Form over function, but that's clearly what the showy wee mincer was going for, so mission accomplished in spades! Stunning project.

Wouldn't go that far, but it's been a good watch. Nice chewing gum for the eyes.Scotty C wrote:not watched this weeks one yet.

This series seems to be covering the equal opportunities tick box
I did like the water tower last night. I love to hear what it is valued at now. The previous two weeks' houses were challenging in their setting, but when it was finished, I liked the boat house.

In contrast, I thought it was awful - the actual building was reasonable and finished perfectly, but it needed space to breathe. Slotting it in on that site was a very poor choice... As for their attitudes, really poor.Dominic wrote:This series seems to be covering the equal opportunities tick box![]()

I've really enjoyed it, appleals to my sense of (I quote DDtB) design centric pikeness.

Wasn't a fan of the boat house, but the previous programme with the glass overhanging box house was perfect.

I always want to the see the designer's wet dream type houses lived in.
We all live with a degree of clutter and these antiseptic white walls and hard floors really don't look nice places to live to me...
