Bloody lovely family. Love watching them.

Getyourarseofffthequattro · 31/10/2021 22:10

Me too. I love them. It makes me happy but envious all in one go. It's literally my dream.

Thursa · 31/10/2021 22:11

Oh! Is there a new series? I love those “Escape to” programmes.

Justilou1 · 31/10/2021 22:14

I want them to adopt me

Mischance · 31/10/2021 22:14

I want to put that little boy on a diet!!!

My cousin worked on their production team and said the family are an absolutely nasty, nightmare, arrogant family. They apparently get through production teams quickly as they are such a nightmare to work with. The image they present on TV is very different to the reality.

I saw that too, in an article, I believe. I think the constant " I love you lot, I do" is a bit contrived.

It’s well known that three production companies have walked out and Ch4 severed the DIY Chateau spin off programme with them.

Actually they are very money savvy. She sells all her “wares” through a separate company and they’ve just launched their Salon subscription service where you pay a monthly fee for a load of rubbish.

Don’t think they are all that it seems. Also don’t forget he had his own tv programmes with his first wife, then did one with his eldest son and now this with second wife and second family. Illusion is everything.

This is interesting, although unpleasant for those involved. Never been able to watch the show as they (the couple) give me the creeps. Obviously not totally unfounded!

They come across as a total nightmare I think. Not surprised to hear they're hard to work with.

Spidey66 · 31/10/2021 22:59

I hate that family. Theyre so twee and annoying. I switch the telly off or over when I see them.

womaninatightspot · 31/10/2021 23:01

I like the show not surprised that they are a nightmare as everything just seems a little bit contrived and jolly. I'm sure they've done well out of it though.

His beard 🤢

TaraR2020 · 31/10/2021 23:17

Oh that's so disappointing. I almost wish I hadn't read it, it's been my escapism during covid!

Seems your cousin was correct @SandandSplashes !

Their show has been cancelled after an investigation into their bullying behavior!

His first wife seemed really lovely to me.

Show quote history

I'm not surprised. I find them creepy and unbearable to watch, so have to instantly change channels/switch off, whereas my easily sucked in DH loves their programmes. Always wondered if they were not quite what you see on screen.

I agree! I loved the original programme.

I follow his ex wife on Twitter!

I will look her up! She always seemed like such a gentle soul, very likable.

davegrohll · 18/05/2023 21:16

Where was this reported ? I used to enjoy the program but I would get a vibe from dick sometimes - I reckon he's got a right temper on him

FoxtrotOscarFoxtrotOscar · 18/05/2023 21:25

Read it in today's Times.
One producer walked out after 4 days.
Dick and Angel "declined to comment".

FoxtrotOscarFoxtrotOscar · 18/05/2023 21:27

Someone recorded Angel calling a producer "a f c**".
