But yet you're still watching it. And posting on an internet forum about it.

I'm curious to see if they have changed, if there is any mention of the changes in the economy, or will they continue as if in the old property boom bubble detached from the real world.

The booming market came first. Televsion normally feeds off cultural trends, it is very rarely creative enough to start them.

The reason the program is back is that the general public are quite nosey about houses and the prices people pay for them. Just look at this forum - a load of people quite obsessed with house prices. I think we'll always have shows like this, just because prices are crashing it doesn't mean the general British public have lost their curiousity about this kind of thing.

I understand. I think people watched the shows just as much for the voyeurism as the actual mechanics of house prices. I used to watch it when I was a renter!

This tall blonde woman needs a good slap round the head. She is exactly the reason people spend too much on houses, she's been brainwashed.

It's very hard for me to play devil's advocate and try to defend this program when there is such an annoying woman on it. She'd make a monk violent.

It must be infurating for the people on here that she has £400,000 to spend on a house with money made through the rise in prices. If I were them I'd buy an 100k terrace and spend the rest on great holidays for the rest of my life.

You're quite correct there, it's bizzaire that they're not mentioning it. It's like some weird propaganda.

My wife wouldn`t let me watch it. Something about me shouting at Kirstie and moaning.

Bloody hell Hercule Poirot, that was quick.

Maybe a job as an internet researched could be in order?

I like playing the DA as well, but I am soooo glad I am not her husband.
"I don't do waiting" :rotfl: I want to spend £40,000 on it NOW!

I'm not watching it so feel entitled to comment.

Grand designs - house / design !!!!!! plus watching people put every ounce of their soul into something - excellent.

Beeny - can't remember what it's called - mainly idiots ignoring her advice and yet still making a bit of profit - watchable for the effort / sums of money / and schadenfreude.

House Doctor - tidy your hosue and sell it - well its not very exciting but enjoyed her refeshing bluntness about people's hideous decor / dog smells.

Relocation - watched it once or twice. A program about people looking at houses and trying to choose. Er - boring - pointless - repetitive. No saving grace that I can see. May as well watch a program about people choosing a car, or perhaps a pet. Actually the pet one might be fun.

Changing Rooms. Now that was fun. The reveal, the ashen faces, oh the joy.

Kirstie said of the Clevedon house "it's a GREAT SOLID INVESTMENT" with accompanying hand gestures and insistency....

How much has it "lost" already?
