So what should be done with Kirstie Allsopp & Phil Spencer now their genre of property hype programs have dried up & gone out of fashion ?

I'm watching stomach churning Kirstie & Phil's Perfect Xmas on Ch4.

I think they have popped up in various random programs, I think she's in some other pointless home decoration program, no idea what it's called.


What should be done with these 2 characters from the past ? :D

    Stick 'em on daytime TV only - then those of us that count don't have to watch them :-P

    Might even encourage some others to find a job LOL

    Kirstie says to Phil "that's one more won over to the joy of crafts" :eek:

    Men take note. :rotfl:

    Cringeworthy.

    I`d make them revisit every single person/couple they`ve given advice to.

    I doubt they`d last more than a few visits.

  • Last I heard, she was doing filming for the next series Repossession, Repossession, Repossession.

    Wasn't Kirstie joining the Tory party (did I even hallucinate House of Lords? :o) as some sort of 'housing advisor'? I would hope, if correct, this role commences sooner rather than later and that they keep her damn busy :D

    As for Phil, I think he would be an OK fella if in possession of a backbone, y'know a bit of.... gruff type manliness. If someone could provide him with such (or perhaps just team him up with someone other than Kirstie so he appeared far less of a sap) I think he would be tolerable :D

    They both need shooting. They deserve some credit though, having made a living out of property advice despite neither of them having a fracking clue what they are talking about.

    Did you see Kirstie & Phil's Perfect Xmas show.

    There's an awkwardness watching them work together on this.

    Yes, they work as a team on the property programs, but branching into other tv idea areas, it doesn't feel right, watching their false smiles, as they say how wonderful whatever their making or doing is for the perfect xmas party.

    They are getting on, I was surprised how old Kirstie is starting to look.

    Like bringing your work colleagues to your family christmas, then thinking !!!!!! are they doing here.

    I dont know how she has managed to look more like a pig than the last time I saw her, but she has managed it.

    At least blind people can be relieved at the thought of not having to look at her pig like features.
