    Re: the winners. I thought it was a little risky to publicise the general location and contents of your immaculate home when you don't live there all year round.

    i am a glass half empty person though!:P

    It's a nice nosey around some vaguely famous people's houses - but do they seriously expect us to believe that they don't know whose houses they are??? Especially the Martello tower - you'd want to have arrived from Mars not to know whose that is!

    Too many stripes in that apartment, I'd be dizzy! Certainly wouldn't want to be stumbling around in the morning with a raging hangover :eek:

    I agree HH, definitely Terri's house is very well known, especially amongst Ireland's twenty or so famous people.

    I loved the view through the clothes designers red brick house

    Oooh, now I want to know where this one is.... anyone know?

    I recognised the first three, but can't get a fix on this one.

    Tenters, maybe?

    I love what Brent Pope did with the two rooms and the fireplace - I've never thought of sticking it in the middle like that! Makes one nice huge balanced room of it.

    They're not doing a very good job of pretending not to know who lives there!!! :o

    Really enjoyed this "celebrity" edition actually. The houses were lovely with some really nice touches. Wouldn't it be grand to have a bit of money!
    I couldn't get over how spotlessly tidy they were, they were more show house condition than home condition though.

    They say a lot about our psyche - a bit posh and a bit conventional. I'm gone right off grey kitchens.:D Terry Prone's Martello tower was at least 'lived in' although what's with the dull brown plaster outside.? I though they were all built from granite.

    Enjoyed programme. Probably liked designers home the best. Norah Caseys was lovely. Liked Brent's garden. Apartment guy did a great job. The dogs were fab. Love cats, but Terri's was walking all over the counter tops!!!
