Channel 4 - Relocation Relocation

They should stop flogging this dead horse and face up to facts that the boom years have gone. House !!!!!! like this belongs in the dustbin.

Let phil carry on his crusade in Oz and let the fat annoying one go play with buses.

    There are 14 prime time or thereabouts foody programmes on the 5 terrestrial channels and slightly less property programmes.

    It's just moronic the level of low rent TV. ITV is virtually unwatchable.

    THis whole series is a waste of time.

    1. Dig out programme from a few years ago.
    2. Find out if participant is (a) still living in the same house, (b) the house looks clean, tidy and homely (c) participants need to either produced a baby or are heavily pregnant.

    Repeat previous programme, add on 5 minutes for revisit. Phil says "I wonder what we will find?", kisses baby, "I'm so impressed with the family home they have created."

  • This program is elitist nonsense. Most of the people featured are looking for 2 homes when the vast majority of the population can barely afford one.

    Or possibly aspirational nonsense?

    depends on whether you are an optimist or pessimist I suppose! (Your username says it all DG!!!)

    I used to really like location location, but when I watch it now it really is just annoying. I think I sas an episode the other day where kirsty showed the couple a house which was about 20% over their budget because one of the rooms had a long enough wall to accomodate a huge painting they had. Pretty incredible.

    I still like the do'er-upper shows though. Grand designs is great.

    I have and only aspire to having one home. Multiple houseowners are just being selfish and depriving others of the chance to own their own home.
