There's a nasty part of me that despises Relocation, Relocation. It's probably simple, naked envy. The property hunters want two homes - invariably an elegant crash pad in some fabulous part of London and a gorgeous pile in heart-crushingly beautiful countryside. Obviously, they have plenty of money; in this case the couple - Paul and Tamsin - have £800,000 to spend. Now do you see why Relocation, Relocation makes me sick? I love it, too, of course, because there's much fun to be had in nosing around other people's homes while screaming at the television, "What do you mean, it's not what you're looking for? It's beautiful. Move in and shut up." Paul and Tamsin are a fairly impassive couple, and you feel that the Batman and Robin of house-hunting, Kirstie Allsopp and Phil Spencer, want to hit them with cricket bats. Lovely houses come and go, but they are not for Paul and Tamsin. Will they ever find what they are looking for? Do we care?
