I love how on Property Ladder
or whatever it's called with Sarah Beany, no one ever listens to her. I remember she told one woman not to make the bathroom too specialised as she was only doing the house up to sell for profit, but the woman put in colour changing submerged lights in the bathroom and a starry-sky style ceiling with a whirlpool bath and black granite everywhere. Sarah Beany was like "errrr...."

I saw some art deco house
where these two vacuous bints totally did it up in their own style, including spending thousands on awful awful mosaic tiles in the downstairs bathroom, and then couldn't sell.

and they always go "oh, we've decided not to sell, we're going to live here"

It's brilliant isn't it
lets get a professional in to offer advice, and then totally ignore it because clearly we know better than the person who has made millions doing exactly what I'm trying for the first time.

It did used to annoy me when Anne from House Doctor
put bloody seagrass matting down everywhere. Not everyone wants a carpet made from reeds!

on House Doctor
whenever they didn't listen to the woman she would always end the show with "they haven't taken my advice and as of today's date, the house is still on the market". She knows that they will watch the show and just rubs salt in their wounds hehe.

I liked the one where
a couple were converting an office block to a hotel and had no idea what they were doing. The hotel guru was like have you thought about kitchen/laudrey access, they mumbled, she pointed out a lorry would never get down the tiny tiny alley. And then for the KO she mentioned disabled access whilst pointed to the stairs EVERYWHERE.

Shockingly they ran over budget by a few hundred thousand

My favourite ever was a bloke who needed to rebuild an interior wall
and it was load bearing, but he was too tight to by additional agroprops so he only supported the ceiling on one side of the wall as he demolished it and rebuilt it. I really wish it had collapsed and killed him.
