Well what else does he think people suffer watching the plonkers she advises for :-) 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! MM |

Not really here for the house refurbishment are you g Watched the whole thing for the 1st time tonight - what a bag of ****e, and I'm not absolutely sure why all the fuss over Beeny? 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. MM |

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). 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. Christian. |

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. -- Richard Faulkner |

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. |
