Money for Nothing

Just seen an episode. Presenter/expert?? Sounded like Orville the duck. He found items at recycling centre and just passed on to some other "expert" renovator at the other end of the country. In this case someone who just sanded the item, stuck wallpaper or stencil on it and job done! Presenter returns,fawns all over the item and takes it away to sell. Couldn't the person who did the work sell it? Come on guys, you can do better than this. Us public can see through this straightaway. Too many people involved as is the case with way too many TV programmes of late. Way too many "presenters" who stutter and stumble their way through. Sometimes less is more.

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.

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

Totally wow, this is a fantastic show. People leaving negative reviews seem a bit harsh - these artists are under pressure to create a profitable item in a limited timeframe with stuff rescued from the tip. I rate that degree of difficulty as very high. Casting judgement and putting down the artistry ignores how much tastes vary. Mostly I find they make something absolutely divine and ingenious. I think all the cast are absolutely amazing with the things they come up with to transform a piece of junk into something that will sell for a profit. Amazing skills and creativity - some combine woodwork, upholstery, paining and even sewing. Others like Bex and her husband Dave are welders, blacksmiths, painters and woodworkers. What an awesome array of skills!
