Have you been watching the new Phil Spencer programme? If not, only watch one as they are all the same! Every programme is about a house that needs de-cluttering and decorating. I'd like to see him find a buyer for a house that has been on the market for over a year and doesn't need these basic things doing. Talking about finding buyers, has he actually found any yet? Every time I watch, he persuades the buyers to spend money, and knock their asking price down, but no offers come in. I'd be interested to know how many of the houses he sells at the end of the series. I know it's a tough market out there but he is supposed to be the expert!

I thought so too, have watched a few and gave up.

Me too. I have seen half of two programmes now and they are all the same. Isn't this a cut price House Doctor without her flair for making silk purses? I love Phil but house makeovers are not his forte!

I agree they are all similar and very predictable. In the first programme he said 'I never fail to get a sale', but that was not true. I used to record it on series link, but pretty soon cancelled it.

And so much replaying what he's already said!

Yes, so many programmes give a recap every few minutes or after each ad. break. I find it very irritating !
