    It's on tonight at 8pm... but why does the RadioTimes say it's 9/11, I'm sure we've only seen 4 so far!

    http://www.radiotimes.com/ListingsServlet?event=10&channelId=132&programmeId=100924902&jspLocation=/jsp/prog_details_fullpage.jsp

    If Myles Gilbert is the same bloke, then he refused to lose one flat to fit a lift in - Beeny said nobody'd pay his prices for a penthouse without a lift - and he craned the furniture onto the roof then built the glass pods on the roof round the furniture.... nobody'd be able to get their own furniture in, nor his furniture out.

    Bloke was 110% idiot.

    Good, it's your turn to type up the detailed goings on... so start typing and we can read through just before 8 to see if it's worth watching :P

    Actually, if it is the no lift/flat built round furniture bloke I have been dying to get an update on how he got on ever since I saw the original programme. Never expected I would get to see a follow up though.

    I'm not really.
    There's no such thing.
    (I wonder how many of you have been searching for 4 - 1?)


    Anyway...................... I predict greed, stupidity and general muppetry in tonight's episode.

    It's revisits, not recent muppets.

    These are prior muppets whose muppetry was covered at the time, 2-3 years ago.

    They obviously ran out of current muppets who wanted their mush on the telly.

    From 2006 they were.

    Looks like it is Brighton.
    Some of us have a passing knowledge of the area.
    I've helped renovate somewhere similar on the Hastings sea front - presumably it is "listed"?

    Pass a glass of wine, I'm going to enjoy this. .

    Or they are all just appearing on Question Time instead.

    Ross on Wye. I remember him - wouldn't buy a car turntable to make parking easier

    And yes, Myles Gilbert is the plonker who built the penthouse round the furniture.

    If I recall correctly, his first problem was down at foundations level.

    Oh god, do I have to sit through a rewind of it...?
    Damn.
