The House That £100k Built.....

maddermanblue1_2 · 2015-08-04 20:02:57

On the BBC, I thought the programme is a non starter as £100k builds does not come with land. Bit of a misleading title. The latest episode featured a couple who built a house in their parents back garden for free. In the end s they spent about £85k on building a house on free land. What are your thoughts on this?

The only thing I really dislike about it are the two presenters. Somehow Kevin McCloud (Grand Designs) manages to do the whole architectural appreciation in an accessible, easy-going way. The two guys that present £100k house need some kind of physical chastisement - especially Piers. He's got to be the most patronising person on UK TV, and there's a fair bit of competition.

This is true but somehow I am a bit in love with Piers anyway.
