Grand Designs

[Evoluzione]

Series 15 starts tonight at 9pm Ch4.

[Jasandjules]

Just seen it on the TV guide, but thanks for the heads up. Follows posh pawn too, so a Ch4 night methinks.

[Beati Dogu]

Only 4 episodes this season it seems.

This one has the largest house they've ever covered. Another sterile flat-roofed glass box, which looks like all the other sterile flat-roofed glass boxes.

Was just about to awaken an old thread on this.

I am very annoyed that they have plastered pictures pf the finished product all over the newspapers/internet.

Half the pleasure of watching it is the anticipation of seeing the finished house

I thought that too, the spectacles scream wker to me.

Each to their own but, I much prefer his 'old' house.

[Cupramax]

Kinell, its a frigging warehouse

The bedroom section looked like a hotel from the plan. It looks like a designer house rather than a home.

[Megaflow]

My wife saw him and said "he's gay then". I said well he has 4 kids, but there seems to be no Mrs Clinton.

I just said that's not a house, it's a small airport terminal, then Kevin nicked my line!

[BoRED S2upid]

Only two garages? No swimming pool? Must try harder.

I thought the swimming pool ran the length of the bedroom wing?

[Jasandjules]

Far be it from me to complain about such matters, but I do suspect that is going to a touch large for a house for a single chap who has 4 kids over a couple of days a week.... Man to think he could have an eight car garage in there...

Is Des the designer a love child of SIr Elton and Bernie Ecclestone

[No Bend]

The show always looks great, nicely shot and put together. Find that host too condescending, and loves his cliches. I swear i'll yell 'VIEW TO INFINITY' in that blokes ear if i ever encounter him in person. Missus pointed out that kevvin also likes to overuse 'compromised'.

But it wouldn't be the same show without that twonk, i'll keep watching.
