Was on Sunday night apparently.

Watch it online if you missed it.

I have watched through it and they have a CHP system installed which
gets a brief mention (Think it was about half way through)

They spent £250k to fill the house with gadgets to make life 'easier'

All seem to consume electricity!

Something to do with the sponsor being e-on?


I did assume that was something to do with it.

They have 5 shows planned - rest, work, play, food, wellbeing
The first I assume was the one on Sunday because they had gadgets to
help you sleep better....

I thought they could have talked about the way the home was powered
more but maybe that'd be a different type of show.

The idea of retrofitting so much stuff seems quite strange - rather
than sending them to live for a few weeks in a futuristic house.
I assume the money they spend doing it is a tax deductable for making
the show.

Perhaps the message is that anyone can do this in their own home.
