The Great Interior Design Challenge

[Davros]

New series starts tomorrow, 7pm on BBC2. Anyone else in?

Holly no problem - I can quite see how it doesn't appeal to some people - luckily the furnishings are lovely and when I can be arsed,I'll paint out a couple of walls!

I definitely need to name change - wanders off to find an actual PC....

MissTurnstiles both Orla and Oliver are Irish.

Strange how we all see different things.

I don't think Sophie has a great fashion style at all. Clashing colours, wearing upholstery tassles in her ears, at one stage she wore a pair of multi-coloured plastic earring that would have done Pat Butcher proud.

Occasionally she looked nice but most of the time I just thought her outfits were odd.

Slummy

Fontella Aah but Soph is ,like, a fashion victim, int' she? innit? Dahn wiv the yoofs innit?

I'm sure I've seen (and heard) anne before. but where?

I thought Anne had a really soft sweet voice.
I still can't believe how underwhelming the final was and how that poor woman's home was destroyed by the winner.

I thought Anne was Mrs Merton in a black wig ie Mrs Merton as in "what do you see in the millionaire Paul Daniels, Debbie Mcgee?"

Same voice, same accent.

Anne has that insubstantial, high pitched tone to her voice just like Sarah Millican (unless she's shouting).

was she on 'come dine with me' or '4 in a bed' or similar programme?

I agree, there was something familiar about Anne. Not sure if I've seen her before on something or if she just reminded me of someone, either on telly or real life.

I thought that Anne modelled herself on Kate Bush (the same bird's nest hair and lipstick). She couldn't 'do' the body but meh!

She also broke into 'Wuthering Heights' or something at one point I think!

I recall her warbling and dancing across the lawn in one of the episodes.

I liked Anne. I was rather surprised she got as far as she did, but she was was fun.

Yes me too it was the one which she didn't through on I think.

I'm quite bereft now that it's over. any suggestions for something similar which might fill the hole?

Some tarmac?

I like the show for some inspiration on how not to decorate

I miss it too.

It was good to have three hours of early (7pm) early week (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday), self indulgent, pretentious telly.

Not impressed with the actual designs, nothing really jumped out at me and made me think I'd love to do that in my own home - but I still loved watching it. More the whole process of what they went through to get past each round and also how daft some of the 'designs' actually were. I think maybe two rooms throughout the whole series actually impressed me .. but I still enjoyed the whole series, loved to see the houses, the rooms, the contestants ... and long may it continue!

I like watching it because I find it fascinating to see the way the rooms pull together (for the most part...) at the end.

I'm missing watching it. Put on Daniel Deronda tonight and am enjoying the set and costume design so have decided that's a good replacement.

I'm enjoying The People Vs O J Simpson - not at all similar but it's great starspotting and a nice chunky ten episodes so it fills a gap.

I also love the interiors and clothes in Spin

I've dug out Series 2 on the iplayer and am watching that. It's remarkable just how, in the space of a year, that everything has changed. The format, the delivery and the clothes - especially Daniel's trousers!

Didn't realise there was an ultimate secrets Great Interior D C on this evening till it was more than halfway through. Doubt it'll be as entertaining as the competition but on iPlayer for those who missed it.
