MMR 1: The McNamee Family

The Make Me Rich page is really interesting to read giving links to articles that pertain to the days programme and also includes a video trailer for the programme.

The trailer is to the tune of If I Was A Rich Man and lots of stripey shirts

I am not sure who ITV anticipates the audience for this show to be with the time slot. Coincides nicely with the school run, and obviously also most people are at work. It seems the people likely to benefit the most are the ones who won't be round.

But what I really want to know is how did they keep their house that spotless with triplets. Or is that just a special tv trick?

the pig thing distracted me. i kept watching it and wondering why it went everywhere with martin, even though it's an integral part of the prog. it just had too much air time for me

i must agree about the timing. i put it on sky hd and was able to watch it after supper, but not everyone can.

Did anyone else notice that the pig managed to walk down the road on its own? Martin had it when he blindfolded the couple and started to guide them to the skip full of nappies, but then in the next bit there was no pig. Then when they showed the skip he was there!

It'd be great in the second series, if Martin were to get an evening slot. I'll have to tape all the episodes as I'm out getting the kids from school then.

Tee hee..the programme finishes just in the time for when i pick kids up, i only have a 5 minute walk :snow_laug Wahooo

I'm ok too, my son finishes at 3.15 and it's a 10 minute drive!

Thinking about it I'm not sure that they should have kicked the series off with that particular episode since its called Make Me Rich. The couple initially wanted to move house but were told that it wasn't possible. Maybe the 1st programme should have been one where it was possible to acheive their 'particular desire'.

I have been all through ITV Wales and still can't find any mention of the programme so I have emailed them to see if there are any plans and when they might be screening it.

I watched the first episode last night (after husband sky+ed it for me), and I have to agree that it did seem to be 'dumbed down'. Having said that, I was not impressed when I tried to watch todays episode - there had been some sort of technical fault and it hadn't recorded...grrrr.

I really enjoyed the programme! :snow_grin but as has been said before I found it too short and would have liked a bit more detail!

I also hope the some of the future programmes include families on low incomes (not 50 grand!) and would like to see how Martin can help folks like us! :rudolf:

Also I must say Martins a real dish!

Brilliant tv prog Martin. I noticed how tidy the triplets home was as well - put me to shame. lol. Anyhow, the prog spurred me on to try the budget planner myself - and shock horror ... I was in the red !!! Just before Xmas too -
I've bought your book Martin so I'll soon be back on track again.
Many thanks for all the help you've given me since I found your site.
