    it was pointless and conveyed no useful information whatsoever. the program seemed to be more about sentimentality than property.
    Though I liked the bit near the end where he said house prices would fall at least another 50%.

    OH and I watched it, while packing for our holiday, and found it rather interesting. Clearly in a minority, however!

    I was coming back to thread to see if anyone had posted up the rightmove link to our freinds with the 6m stable. Looks like they must have sold it- or rented it out.

    The bestr bit was when the developer was going yeah we'll put it on the market thursday, be sold by friday" Alas the reporter said that 2 months later there was no interest in the property and interest payable was 20k pcm.

    As you posted at 8.52, you're either a very slow typist, or you can't subtract 52 from 60.

    Looks like I need to update the system clock on my PC...! :)

    I thought the historical aspects were interesting - the footage of Notting Hill when it was a slum in the 1950s was jaw-dropping.
    Is there another one? I'll be watching if there is.

    And I loved it when he said something like, "£6 million seems like quite a lot, but it's got 3 bedrooms....." !?!

    I remember coming into Paddington by train in the 50`s. Block after block of slums. At the time there was still a lot of evidence of the blitz. In the 70`s I often went to Notting Hill on business. Very run down and lots of hippies. I wonder just how many people can really afford London prices. My guess is that the flat in Notting Hill would cost well over £3k a month in mortgage repayments.
