This show tonight was the nadir of Property Ladder.

Nadir or zenith ?

The first.

It made you watch. It caused a reaction.

I watched only to see whether there would be any developments. After
the first 20 minutes of Sarah trying to get Mrs Developer to listen to
reason, I could see that she was fighting a hopeless battle. Then it
became a mission to see said woman fail - as a warning to others,
which I definitely think did come across. Although, conveniently, we
did not see the final outcome of whether they actually sold at any
kind of a profit or whether they suffered a loss, it was clear that as
a lesson in how to develop property the programme was a dead loss.

That might be bad property
development, but it's good TV.

But we don't watch a bad property development programme and say, oh,
that's okay, because it's good TV!

Sarah Beeney tried everything to persuade these
know-it-alls to revise their plans,

Who is Sarah Beeney ? Does she _do_ anything, or is she just someone
on the telly ?

She is a successful property developer!
