They probably get paid a fair bit by the tv series. I know someone who is going to be on Grand Designs and she gets a fair bit of money towards the build for doing it.

To the previous poster who mentioned the living arrangements: Angel's parents live in the converted stables / coach house which is right by the large gates.

Dick's sons were in the first series when Dick and Angel got married / renewed their vows.

His daughter is listed as one of the photographers for the weddings.

I quite like watching the programme because it's complete escapism (though I preferred that programme a few years ago about a couple from Yorkshire doing the same thing but on a smaller scale) but I find Dick and Angel annoying. She's obsessed with buying tat online and I am fascinated by her hair - how does she manage to never have roots showing? Dick pisses me off because he marketed himself as being all green and eco friendly and then went on to do possibly the least green thing ever, have 4 kids.

Waspnest, I think her hair almost always looks awful. I assume she colours it herself but it is a strange colour and most of the time looks like it needs re-doing,

Anyone watching the Xmas special now?

I'm wondering how they're going to put on the party for all their helpers...without their helpers

Love the bucket advent calendar and the giant football baubles. She has some fabulous ideas and can execute them well. I think if I tried to cover a football in fabric it would look crap.

I could never cover an old football in anything and make it look like anything other than a knackered football !

I bet that Christmas dinner was fucking delicious.

Dick is not only a DIY genius he can also cook mouth watering food! How lucky are his family?

I absolutely love this show. I always say to my DH that I could go places with a man like Dick in my life. Mine can't hammer a nail in straight.

i have to be honest and am getting fed up of Angel crafting its turning into KirstyChristmas

its all she seems to do

Arthur is starting to annoy me He seems very staged and does a very non genuine laugh at everything. I think he is a mini Dick.

I think Dorothy despairs slightly of her older brother!

That's what makes me think he is staged as when he says something and laughs Dorothy gives him a look.

Sarah Beenys Restoration Nightmare is on a random channel now. It was on back in 2011 originally I think? I wonder if she’s annoyed as she thought of this idea first
