Grand Designs tends to be the least of the offenders in this respect. But
sadly every TV producer seems to find it necessary to introduce a 'human
interest' thread to all such progs. I'm waiting for one with a amputee war
veteran with cancer who is also pregnant although gay, but battles on
regardless. Should tick all the boxes in one go.

What about the race one?
