Is there a worse tv program than “Homes under the hammer”?

[tight fart]

I mean it could be a really good program, but each episode could be 20 minutes long and give you the same info.
I was stuck at home today waiting for a delivery and thought this looks good, they repeat everything you’ve seen 10 minutes ago.

There's plenty worse than HUTH
And there's loads of channels to choose from if you want something else

[Super Sonic]

Are you being served?
There are even worse programmes but they're not shown anymore.

[Slow.Patrol]

We call HUTH quicksand TV in our house. It is also like Bargain Hunt in that they both suck you in so that you have to watch it until the end.

Find it, fix it flog it is another one, although you can get away with just watching the last five minutes and not feel like you have missed anything.

HUTH is annoying as updates are given in the middle of the show, so you have to watch it all.

[Mercdriver]

Gave up watching HUTH found the presenters hand waving distracting and the ex footballers jokes wear thin.

They must think you have the brain retention of a gnat cos as above they repeat the section over again before the reveal. I suppose it pads out the programme

Only one watching is Tommy Walsh, he gives a good summary of what the house needs but he is seldom on now, endless repeats too

[Wacky Racer]

I think it's a great programme, I'm always amazed how someone can strip, rewire, decorate, replumb, fit new kitchen, roof and bathroom in six weeks for 13k.

Have you never heard of it it before? It's been on for about a million years.

Never mind the £13K refurb mentioned, my recollection is they usually say they spent £5K.

Homes Under The Hammer gave us Martin Roberts playing an invisible piano.



...and for as long as Mrs Brown's Boys exists, no other TV programme can be worse.

[Mercdriver]

Prestidigitations worthy of Paul Daniels, they all do it except Tommy Walsh

Amen, brother. It's one of the few shows I have to leave the room for (obviously I wouldn't have it on in my house, nor would I associate with anyone who watches it but there have been family gatherings, Christmas or something, where somehow it ended up "on").

[Chauffard]

Well yes, Gogglebox for one, Loose Women, Drag Race, Celebrity Masterchef, The One Show.

HUTH has the most iconic choices of music for the subjects being discussed. Absolutely unrivalled.

I have noticed that also. It must use a good chunk of budget to license these tracks - but kudos to whoever is choosing the music.

I've been having HutH on daily whilst I'm working, and I love seeing the transformations.
However, it does get a little repetitive with two bed victorian terraced houses, or the recent influx of HMOs which are always decorated in grey.

Absolutely.

Yet somehow it won best Comedy at the NTA awards beating Brassic, Ghosts and Not Going Out.

I'd sooner watch any of those three programs on repeat for 24hours whilst hung upside down over a pit of snakes than watch one episode of Mrs Brown Boys.

Fortunately I've never made the mistake of watching a single episode of that particular ordure. On the other hand I recognise it must be hilarious to some of feeble mind. After all, it features a bloke dressed up as a middle-aged woman with an amusing regional accent.

It’s the fkin music/song they play that match the condition or location of the property.
