Anyone else watching?

New series started tonight. Bonkers toff from SW London wants to convert a building in a cemetery.

Yes this is nuts! Where in SW London is it though? I used to live in Clapham so I’m trying to work it out.

Wondering what is going to go wrong, no baby, he may well run out of money and fall out with the builders.

OhBollocksToIt · 06/01/2021 21:18

Fuck me, the ‘family house’.

SlantyBaws · 06/01/2021 21:21

Methinks he doesn't need to worry about running out of money, only disturbing the resting place of some poor skeleton.

Just came on purely to see if their was a thread about this.

I find it slightly sickening that someone would spend all that money on a house for just him and his son. It just feels so extravagant and greedy, especially when he's not 100% sure if he can fund it. Why doesn't he leave out the basement? It would still be massive.

Oh and he's bloody irritating too.

Beachy10 · 06/01/2021 21:29

He's absolutely nuts!!

MistyMinge2 · 06/01/2021 21:31

What's the betting that he ends up having to sell it?

1990s · 06/01/2021 21:36

I keep just looking at the basement, he says “it’s costing me a mill I don’t have” and shouting WHHHHHHY at the TV.

Surely it’ll be dark and horrible.

SlantyBaws · 06/01/2021 21:37

Absolutely insane. Especially when he likens his money struggles to any other self builder. Seriously?

And he doesn’t need the space! He’s spending millions of quid and doesn’t even need the space!

SoupDragon · 06/01/2021 21:39

He's doing it because the space will add huge value.

1990s · 06/01/2021 21:40

But he doesn’t have the money to pay for it. And when you’re doing a self build why would you build for resale value?

TeenyTinyDustinHoffman · 06/01/2021 21:41

More money than sense.
And did I mishear or did he actually say "Mary Queen of Scots, your relative" to his son.

He did actually say that lol
wishingitwasfriday · 06/01/2021 21:43

I missed what he now does for a living. What on earth does he do to pay a £1.9million mortgage?

SoupDragon · 06/01/2021 21:44

It's so removed from reality that I love it and him 😂

WonderfulWinde · 06/01/2021 21:44

He is quite bonkers.

Haha kid is a full time boarder to boot !

BigSandyBalls2015 · 06/01/2021 21:45

And the boy is at boarding school most of the time so even less of a need for space. The bloke is nuts

Waterdropsdown · 06/01/2021 21:47

Does anyone know where in south west London this is?

1990s · 06/01/2021 21:47

Did anyone hear what he job was?

“All the money is allocated, I know nothing that could create a need for £100k more could possibly happen”

In steps Covid......

1990s · 06/01/2021 21:48

It's so removed from reality that I love it and him

DH is right there with you Smile I am HmmShock

schmockdown · 06/01/2021 21:49

I think he's perfectly bonkers. He'll find the cash somehow.

1990s · 06/01/2021 21:50

Does anyone know where in south west London this is?

I don’t recognise it at all and I thought I’d walked round every single park and cemetery in SW London over lockdown.....

SlantyBaws · 06/01/2021 21:50

He organises extreme fishing trips. What even.

WonderfulWinde · 06/01/2021 21:53

It's beautiful!

OhBollocksToIt · 06/01/2021 21:53

Still trying to work out where it is.

Can’t believe his boy is at boarding school, poor kid! He really doesn’t need a massive house...
