Programmes, past their sell-by, and should be binned

Grand Designs.....had to stop watching it.

"Camilla and Rupert have bought a Grade 1 Listed 47 room mansion which has been condemned and been vacant for 45 years with no roof. They bought the property for £500k and have a budget of £40k to carry out all of the works. To save money they have sacked off the architect, structural engineer and builder and aim to do all the work evenings and weekends for the next 6 weeks."

Fast forward 12 months, they've sold everything, are living in a caravan on site and have knocked down a wall between the kitchen and pantry. And spent £30k on an Italian marble island worktop.........

Being in architecture it was a frustrating watch...... 😁😁

You missed a bit.

1) Camilla will be a stay at home mum, and Rupert will weave baskets from orphans hair - they'll have a budget of £1.2 million

2) They'll go over their budget by £1.8 million which they'll finance through credit cards and borrowing from family and friends ("alright Dad can you lent me a quarter of a million quid?")

3) Kevin will go back a year later and they'll have an amazingly decorated house, dressed in their designer clothes with their perfect children Milo and Mimi and not a care in the world, but will joke about how in debt they are.

Cant wait for the next series personally.

Up until recently ironside seemed to be on everyday on one of the free view chsnnels

Plus how good was it to see his son knock the Geordie's out of the cup a couple of years ago
 
I haven't watched "Normal TV" for that long I don't even recognise half the shows mentioned above. The ones I do recognise, I can't believe they're still going

1. Homes Under The Hammer - there are no more scenarios. Everything has been aired, refurbs, demolitions, extensions, new builds, HOMO etc, etc.
2. Pointless - it's name says it all. It's so outdated.
3. The One Show - again, it's been done to death

I've just realised that they're all BBC, but there are many more on other platforms.

The One Show? That’s like saying News at Ten should be binned because it’s been done to death every night.

If you want the definition of done to death then you can’t go far beyond Corrie, Emmerdale and EastEnders.
 
Four in a bed.

Used to be a guilty pleasure of mine but then you realise the same thing seems to happen in every episode.

One of the set of contestants will give the opposition a low score for cleanliness after the visit to the first establishment, meaning they then give an equally low score in return, after they visit their establishment. They then get accused of "gameplaying".

In fact, anyone who gives a low score for anything is usually accused of gameplaying.
 
I've not even got freeview. Been on streaming and catchup channels for a year now.
And anyone who said Homes under the Hammer is 100% correcr.
