'Sarah Beeny's House Being Done Up' on C4 right now

in Debate House Prices & the Economy
There's a programme on C4 right now which follows Sarah Beeny and her husband doing up their massive, grand, Georgian mansion. They are having awful decisions to make about what colour to paint their 25 ft high celings, whether very expensive chandeliers would be damaged by one of the 137 children Beeny produced during the ever-pregnant series of 'Property Ladder' 1-23 and what colours TV producers would want the lounge to be when they come to film period dramas there.

Am I the first to post on this? I thought we'd have people literally having aneurysms over this show by now.

    No, that's not what I meant and you know it.

    Their house is so big that they have to use walkie talkies to talk to each other. That's a great first world problem right there.

    I prefer to pass a message to the butler.

    Beeny's pad isn't on Green Belt land?

    Beeny doesn't appear to be annoying her neighbours?

    Are the words "liars" and "thieves" in there anywhere?
