    Should they not show horse racing or the Lottery then

    The Lottery and sports betting are covered by gambling legislation. Neither is presented on TV as some sort of guaranteed method of instant wealth generation.

    The BBC hardly shows any racing coverage these days anyway.
    They are an EYESORES!!!!

    I just don’t see all the criticism of this and location location most of the people involved in these programs are professional people are if the only reason they have to invest in property is because they see it in a TV program well!

    Sorry I haven't got to time to properly respond to your post because I have just seen a nature programme about frogs so obviously I am rushing out to buy as many frogs as I can. I was lucky I missed the documentry on elephants, god knows where I would have put them all.

    They can't, they don't subscribe to the sex channel on sky, or did you mean that some people might do things for reasons other than seeing it on the tv?

    I like watching this programme just to see the before and after pictures of the property...not bothered about the before and after price.
    We made it! All three boys have graduated, it's been hard work but it shows there is a possibility of a chance of normal (ish) life after a diagnosis (or two) of ASD. It's not been the easiest route but I am so glad I ignored everything and everyone and did my own therapies with them.
    Eldests' EDS diagnosis 4.5.10, mine 13.1.11 eekk - now having fun and games as a wheelchair user.

    I don't. At all. I watched it recently to try and get the enthusiasm and it left me cold and a little bit angry about a very strange calculation of profit/expenditure.

    You should watch 1 hour make over to see how to really mess a house up. Mind you it might be worth going on it for the free plasma etc providing you are prepared to redecorate it yourself afterwards.

    I was thinking of you yesterday and wondering where you'd disappeared to!

    Well thats nice isn't it.

    I got a bit fatigued by this particular medium but I'm laid up having done myself a mischief. I've read all my library books, watched everything on the hard drive and exhausted the iplayer so I'm now scraping the barrel for ways to pass the time that one can do without moving ones head...
