Money for Nothing

Items obviously arranged before hand picked up at a skip, renovated and sold -the owners door stepped and emotionally black mailed in donating profits to charity -Sarah in fact does very little in terms of physical work and every episode has the totally unfunny Arthur Smith droning on endlessly and trying to say the word Sarah as many times as he can.

A fool and his money are soon parted and that certainly is repeatedly the case in this series. While the idea of recycling items which otherwise would go for landfill is laudable, the whole thing is frankly pitiful since the so-called experts are often mainly bodge artists who do not know how to use tools properly (and often dangerously), manage to charge ridiculously high prices which are rarely negotiated and the finished products can be so bizarre that the fact that they are sold for absurdly high prices is barely credible.

I get the feeling that many people on the programme find it hard to hide their embarrassment in being involved with it.

Arthur Smith is an odd choice for doing the voiceovers and is usually given a very corny script but I guess he's (quietly) laughing all the way to the bank.

I really can't see how this got past a pilot episode.

For petes sake can you shut the dreadful Arthur Smith up? His constant yacking, reminiscent of the awful Wonnocot, completely spoils this show. Shut up you stupid man.

Very enjoyable show showcases the creativity of local UK artists and craftsmen and inspires good ideas for the average viewer ,and Sarah is cute

This program just winds me up, from the overpriced restorations to the overpriced sale price. Let's face the people only buy the items so they can get their shop on TV. And don't get me started on Arthur Smith who ever writes the script needs firing. There is no one on the planet who is going to buy a single wooden chair with a pink leg for £150. This program is a disservice to the artisan people out there.
