I've always doubted the timescale with this programme. They're supposed to do the make-over in a few days but the burnt out house next door showed that it takes much longer than that.

In the first shots the house is covered in scaffolding because the roof and entire first floor have been removed. As the work in the garden progresses you notice (over the fence) the floors and walls have been rebuilt, the roof replaced and tiled and window spaces are ready for glazing......all in a few days? hmm

I think I only watch this programme to moan about over landscaping, silly gimmicks, ridiculously expensive features and unrealistic, high maintenace planting plans. Don't even, get me started on the ghastly colour schemes!

At least it's ITV and we're not paying for it.

I agree with you, Teetime, I felt the same, but he had moved into a care home. There was scaffolding at the rear of the burnt house, so perhaps it has been sold and is undergoing renovation.
I thought the garden this week was way too themed and over the top, although I loved the seating area.

Now I love Mr T and all his works but I am wondering about the current series and the huge amounts of money spent even though I realise these are donated or sponsored items. This week though I also wondered about the recipient. He was a very brave man who had pulled his neighbour from his burning house and I think was also active in his community. However, the house next door was completely burnt out and the man who he rescued lost his wife in the fire. I thought perhaps it should have been his garden that was rebuilt. Perhaps its just me - you'll be soon to tell me I expect.
