Of love to see a few where the proposed purchasers have a budget of around £150,000. Much more interesting.

Oh actually I've just remembered I know of a couple that went on there, and they did genuinely want to move.
She is quite a show off though; I've seen her in a few programmes.

I just love looking around the houses. I don't care about the couples!

Oh, come on. There's only two or three that they've been back to visit.

When they announce at the end of a show that an offer has been accepted I think, Really??

It's a show. A very nice way to relax with a cuppa and have a nosey at some fabulous houses but I'm not fooled.

Well you must have missed the ones where they back to visit those who did buy what they viewed on the program.

Is this programme a fake? I just dip into this now and then. Generally, quite dare I say, senior couple, middle class view the properties.

They always want loads of bedrooms, so the family can visit, loads of land and out houses for workshops/horses/craft rooms etc.

They never end up buying any of the properties despite enthusing over them.

Thinking of myself and DH we certainly wouldn't want to take on such vast places like that at our time if life. We want less to do not more.

All this makes me wonder if the show is just that, a show.
