Phil & Krusty Back on Our Screens

Oh dear.

Krusty 'n Phil returned via Channel 4's "100 sexiest people" last night - as voted for by the public!

Their onscreen "chemistry" was mentioned. But not the sexual potency of booming house prices and property success stories.

They may find it harder in the downturn.

Hilarious. Krusty isn't even the best looking member of her family. And Kojak had more hair than Phil spender

But Phil's nicely trimmed chest hair in the "hot tubbing scene" won plaudits :rotfl:

"And you can tell he goes down the gym" , added one commentator struggling to provide some feeble justification for their inclusion.

I've only seen LLL a couple of times, but I thought their "banter" was ludicrously contrived.

The new show looks like it's going to be even more of the same - pushing people into buying houses they can't afford in the belief that prices will always go up:

This is, after all, the cheapest time to buy property for years – and it could prove one of the best. If you have the cash to get into the market today and are able to drive down the price further, you’re set to become even wealthier in the future.


If you think I’m being overoptimistic, just look at those who bought during the dark days of the early 1990s – and what happened to the value of their homes in the decade that followed. This time around, as then, confidence will eventually return – it’s all just a question of time.

The Frosts feature in a Credit Crunch Special edition of Location, Location, Location, in which my television co-host, Kirstie Allsopp, and I look at the property troubles of three sets of people, who represent three different groups affected by the current market.

Several million people in negative equity isn't enough for these two vultures, they want even more thrown into misery and despair. It is little wonder these 2 property pimps are so reviled.

I didn't mind them until the last series. The vast majority of people just didn't see prices falling and I could very easily put P&K in that bracket. They are property-finders and tv presenters not historians or economists.

But I would have thought that it was obvious at the time that the last series was filmed that prices were dropping like a stone and that the stamp duty issue was a load of nonsense. Yet they still pushed people into buying ludicrous properties for ludicrous prices.

No!!!! Please don't suggest that! I've been mistaken for Krusty and I don't want to be tortured by someone who thinks I'm her!!!

They can't be expecting anyone to watch - we'll all be watching Spooks on BBC1 surely

I expect the trailer for the show was deliberately misleading - bound to be something to do with the mortgage offer.

I used to quite enjoy LLL just because I like nosing around other people's houses but after they did an episode in South Devon looking at a few properties that I had looked at myself, it was hammered home that they do err sometimes talk utter drivel.

Even if 10 million got into NE they couldn't give a monkeys, just as long as they made a few quid out of it. Krusty & phil would sell their own granny for a few shillings
