Homes Under the Hammer

The new female presenter is nice to look at, but does she have to wave her arms like an out of control windmill, and does this programme need three presenters,l am sure one presenter could manage this programme,Overall, its an interesting programme,and do we have to have the second screening of the first interviews.

I like HUTH and find the transformation of the various properties fascinating and really don't mind the over enthusiastic Lucy Alexander (in TV presenter mode) . She used to annoy the hell out of me but I guess I have got used to her. Martin seems to really know what he is talking about and is a pleasant enough presenter. My main gripe is the constant repetition of information - for instance when they go back to see what has happened with a property they run over all the owners details once again. HUTH is really a 30 minute programme stretched out to fill an hour. I imagine it has encouraged a lot of people to attempt the property market with varying results.

I love this show because it does what is needed. It shows before and after. The costs involved and general tips. Great for property enthusiasts.

Love all the presenters. Generally love the format. But. Of late it's so samey and predictable. Property developers dominate. Remove all traces of the great yesteryear. Laminate flooring. Grey's . Black/White. HMO's . ( Nothing wrong here if done tastefully, but it's all for a quick buck. Seen a couple of fab ones . But mostly too commercialised. Removal of garden space for parking is very prevalent, we're always told what a good idea it is. How about the 🐦 🐤🦉🐜🐞🕷🐌🐛🥀🌷🌳🍁 a bees 🐝 🐝🐝 etc. Very sad to see such a decline in front and back green spaces. Getting so I don't look forward to watching any more. Shame. 😕

New episodes get 30% of the time slot's audience. It is cheap and cheerful TV that gets a big audience and costs the BBC very little.

So - it is successful... it is cheap. How can a licence viewer complain?

Whilst there are many many many DIY shows, there aren't that many that show shells of houses being renovated (Grand Designs isn't a fair comparison) and I think the presenters do a decent job to maintain the viewers interest considering the 100s of houses which have gone under the hammer.

Saying that, I do like to see episodes where people buy over-priced houses and are a little cocky about doing it up... and then make a pittance...

Hey - and if you don't like it, you can always turn over to Jeremy Kyle or Phil'n'Holly!
