you'd have been better off watching DIY SOS, it was a real tear-jerker.

janeane garofalo is a big fan of diy sos. she was on front row on day supposedly talking about her edinburgh show but spent a lot of it talking about nick knowles.
grand designs australia is on one of the *4 channels every night and that makes interesting viewing, both because of the cultural differences and the building regulations. 40,000 australian dollars put a 1m extension pole onto a power line... (would've been 80k to bury it)

that looked a lot like they'd bought a bunch of books because of the colour of their spines.

a friend of line worked on a design for a similar show (a george clarke one) and says the TV company almost always styles the house for the "reveal". they take those Wegner chairs and Bouroullec brothers lamps and colour-coded spines away as soon as they have wrapped the shoot.

I'm thinking that's a pretty cool bookcase, if you ignore the colour coded spine stupidity, but the bolts on the castors are damn ugly and make the lower tier pretty much unusable.

grand designs is such a bad programme because of the presenter
― conrad, Sunday, 30 September 2018 17:54 (five years ago) link
Those bolts look like anti-homeless nobbles
There's like a thousand George Clarke programmes but I thought one of the recent ones, the point was he/the TV show dresses it? After the owners do it up? So there's some element of surprise? I don't know, the rules were vague or maybe I am severely sleep-deprived and the more I try and work out the point of it the more confused I get. Nice show though.

the new one, about building in 'impossible' places is good, based on the one episode that's aired so far. because pre-fabs.

yeah nice to see solutions to actual problems as opposed to poshos inventing stupid ones and getting sealclapped
also it looked like home a bit so

Can anyone confirm that the new Grand Designs isn't just highly wealthy people phoning their friends to organise finance?
I once saw a George Clarke programme where a couple lived next door to and above three parking spaces. Clarke made suggestions about the use of space and added some black cladding and ... it was probably the best TV house/design programme I've seen.
― djh, Monday, 1 October 2018 21:20 (five years ago) link
point of that prog is that it isnae george clarke making suggestions isn't it? this one: http://ashtonporter.com/all-projects/residential/cut-and-wrap-house/ ?
― conrad, Monday, 1 October 2018 21:40 (five years ago) link
yes that series was the one i was referring to but the friend had been working on (a friend of conrad's as well, i think) but her point was that the stylists for the reveal do it for all of these kinds of series' inc. grand designs.
― FRE SHA VAC ADO (jed_), Monday, 1 October 2018 21:51 (five years ago) link
x-post: yes, that was the one. I'd forgotten that it was someone else making the suggestion.

i didn't see it (well i saw the credits as i put it on for the circle a bit early) but sounds like a good episode, might check out
― imago, Wednesday, 9 October 2019 22:27 (four years ago) link
wasn't particularly a good episode, wasn't even a good disaster, was just pretty much what Dan said in the revive.
the Grandest Design episode they did to celebrate the anniversary was interesting, a revisit of the best 5 or so from over the years. the winner was the irish guy with two shipping containers stacked on top of each other (which i remember as being interesting at the time)
