    I caught a snippet of the reveal sequence on HFL last week. They had stuck a load of nasty mirrors at right angles to eachother all over the living room wall. It looked rotten. I think George's Home Show on Channel 4 does the same job as this programme but slightly better.

    Although do my ears deceive me or is that Feist I can hear in the background? No one does sound beds like the BBC. I might just stay tuned....

    I've got it on. . . it's not doing anything for me though.

    Except this bit - container city - I'd live in a place like that ... if it were my land/my container/s, not part of a block with others.

    I'm watching but I'm finding the two presenters' voices so dull, and the things they say are quite annoying. But then I'm not a very creative or arty type, I must admit.

    I am looking forward to the end results though.

    Yes, annoying/dull voices ... I'm not creative either.

    I AM a very creative and arty type and I think the things they say are quite annoying too.

    LOL, I score a medium on creativity and I find THEM annoying, but like the things they are showing as influences. Where I think it wins over the more tv friendly architect on channel four is that these homes feel more personal. But yeah, they sound like a grandad aftersunday lunch.

    Yeah, the aesthetics are not such a one-size-fits-all solution.

    I want that parquet floor.

    I want that child who says "but Mummy - I want to wash up - its useful"

    I want that studio in the garden.

    ho hum
