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.

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.

Well tonight’s episode was quite something, arrogance, folly and hubris in spades but still felt sorry for him at the end.

j/k
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)

Australian Grand Designs on again nightly. repeats of a series i didn't see at the time.
that thing where they are surveying the plot and the date pops up on screen and it's 7 years ago. and they're still talking about being in before christmas...
