Beeny pregnancy - I'm confused
 
Tonight's Property Ladder:

A) Beginning of program -
1. Beeny pregnant
2. House clearly not started
3. House owner lady not pregnant


B) Middle of program -
1. Beeny more pregnant than in A
2. House half demolished
3. House owner lady tells us she's pregnant


C) End of program -
1. Beeny *still* pregnant
2. House completed
3. House owner lady has given birth and is holding baby


Now I'm no biologist, but WTF is going on here??

Nope - there was a point in the program when Beeny had obvisouly dropped but
House ownder lady was ready too! - I am 110% sure of this because it was
'her indoors' who mentioned it!!

I think this was more than a continuity error - I simply don't see how
it was physically possible (unless Beeny gestation period is somewhat
longer than standard for humans).

I certainly agree with that comment! The people last night were, if
anything, even worse than the irritiating couple of lesbehavinyous
last week. Last night's pair didn't just not listen, their ignorance
cost them a ruddy fortune. And we never did learn what the final price
achieved was. The lady was kind of okay, but the bloke with his
insistence on trying to do everything single-handed was a PITA. I'll
bet the builders had a field day with snide comments behind his back.
What a plonker!

She doesn't look quite so 'fragrant' as she once did, but pregnancy is
a very tiresome thing, I am led to believe. My mum never stopped
telling me how big I was. What is getting more irritating about this
programme is the amount of time spent dwelling on who is right and who
is wrong. I counted off 22 minutes into the programme, and they were
*still* arguing about that fireplace! I would much rather see more of
the actual work done and how it is done. Also, the cavalier way the
prices of things are just increased in such a careless way, like the
kitchen suddenly costing a fortune, or the electrics and heating
rocketing from £1,000 to £9,000 - none of these increases is ever
explained in any depth, in any of the episodes. Why was it necessary
to spend such a lot on the kitchen, for example? I am absolutely
convinced that you could achieve just as welcoming an overall 'look'
much more cheaply, without resorting to MFI. Maybe the real money is
in the books that accompany series like this and the programmes are
just one long advertising slot.

Perhaps the baby wasn't done yet, so they popped it back in for

Perhaps the director got her to stuff a pillow up there to maintain her
appearance. Alternatively, she's on her second pregnancy of the programme. I
don't know what the time period was.

The end of the programme suggested that they probably werent going to be
able to sell, and probably haven't. Not sure when the programme was
filmed though?

From almost day 1, they were told that it would be worth around
£430,000, and they repeatedly insisted that they had researched the
area, and was definitely worth £450,000+. Like most people on the
programme, they completely ignored any expert advice offered.

It is sometimes, I guess that they have to edit a lot of stuff to fit
into an hour, and also make each program different enough from the
rest.

Why was it necessary
to spend such a lot on the kitchen, for example? I am absolutely
convinced that you could achieve just as welcoming an overall 'look'

Indeed, which is point SB often makes - but as ever the 'developers' get
too hung up on their personal likes, not practicalities and profit. Why
on earth decorate the second bedroom as a twee nursery?

She claimed in a programme a while ago that (although she doesn't do it
now) she has in the past done most of the practical work necessary,
including plastering & wiring. That alone makes her attractive in my view.

I'd much rather have the Beany Babe than that god-awful woman off

Being a DIY newsgroup, did Beany get pregnant by herself, or did she get a man in?
