Am I on my own, talking to myself here
No. I was tuned in, half paying attention, then not logged in. Then cooking. I only go to see bits of it. One of the presenters complaining about the furniture, the cat on the chair.
I thought they were actual chimneys the way they looked from the outside. But they turned out to be skylights.
Were they comparing like with like? I didn't see enough of it to be sure....0 -

OK, watching back a bit late, haven't read any comments yet so I have no idea what the tone of this thread is - hope I'm not way out of sync
The three presenters are annoying me already - they're so UP themselves.
First house - a bit meh, definitely a house of two parts, upstairs and downstairs. That jetty was a nice idea but really, the nicest spot in the whole house? Really? And awful exterior.
Second house - jaysus, a bit brutalist on the outside! It's a bit echoey..... No windows in the bedrooms? :eek:
Third house - ah, lads, tell us where it is in Dublin! Dunno about that intentionally retro designer oldy worldy feel. They hit the nail on the head - super cool. Painfully super cool. I absolutely love the house, hate the interior. Contrived is right. Aw jeez, bare stairs???
Yeah, winner was the least worst one in fairness (although I'd kill to live in any of them, except maybe the last one).
Hmmm..... not sure I'll last the pace with this series, although no doubt I'll get sucked in if only because of this thread!
Right, now to see what everyone else thought 0 -

Agree about the presenters.
Presume the second house had no windows upstairs due to planning possibly. It was built in place of their bungalow.0 -

Oh it's exactly the same. I think that was house of the year or home if the year as well. They also had a very similar food program where three experts went off and to different hotels and restaurants around the world to find best dessert, main and starter etc.
I think their home of the year was an hour long. Just too short for me :-(
I don't mind the presenters although I think that independent article above is fairly spot on. I like the big guy with his scarf
I think Declan is a cool fella and agreed with him mostly. Something about Helen irks me a bit...
But I do like the format of "experts" giving their views.
Hoping for even more "WOW" and "different " houses. Although I didn't like the one different (chimneys) house last night!0 -
