It's that time of the week again. Is it just me or does anyone else feel physically ill when these 2 property pimps show their ugly mugs on the tv.

    to many property programmes on in my opinion, I love grand designs purely because I love the ideas people come up with to create beautiful homes, but all that CRAP like escape to the country, to buy or not to buy... can't people pick their own bloody houses!!!!

    Yeah but during the ad break for channel 4 news the 2 pimps faces still pop up. I used to like channel 4.

    With apologies to the great Frankie off Mock the week, but it just proves there's nothing on TV I won't masturbate to.

    No, because we're all grown ups, and whether you or I think they're spouting carp or talking sense doesn't really matter; they're presenters, and damned good ones.

    Whatever you think about him, Jamie Oliver is another example of a brilliant communicator.

    At the end of the day it's not real; it's entertainment.

    The viewing figures for this series are way down on previous ones. No suprise there then. With a bit of luck, they might the program will be decomissioned after the present run.
