Your Home Made Perfect (BBC Two Tuesday 20.00)

[CrossPurposes]

A new series began tonight. Looks like more of the same: kitchen islands and eye-watering overspending ahead.

Ooh yay! Thanks for the heads up!

Absolutely loved the transformation of the house in Enfield yesterday, even though it cost loads. I think Will is a brilliant architect.

New series?

Yes, it's a new series @Rummikub.

I didn't like it very much last night, preferred the other one. But I knew they'd pick Will's as they got that "reminds me of home".

I really like Angela Scanlan doing this show.

*reminds me of home feeling!

i love this prog!

i like her too- really lovely way about her.

Ooo I'll have to catch up.
Ready for some bonkers tree in the house, bench seating and garden palaces.

I had to whizz through the couple, I found the squealing too much!

Is Robert in it?

Whilst it was the family's decision, not the architect's, doing away with the dining table was bonkers. They made a big thing about how important family meals are, all.eating together, having friends round... and now they have to perch around a kitchen island!

Whilst I prefer to watch it on catch up (to fast forward through huge chunks), if you do watch it live, be sure to follow the twitter # at the same time. Always hilarious, and gets all the ridiculousness out in the open.

Still waiting for an episode where they stick to their budget!

Yes, I thought the same about the table. The other plan showed seating got about 6, which clearly wasn’t going to work. The dining area was great, then no table. I didn’t understand why they flipped it either to the other wall. As I found the woman annoying I had to switch off once I saw the finished result. Did they explain why they changed things?

The chairs around the island look the most uncomfortable I've ever seen. I'm getting welts on my bum and back just looking at them.
I really hope they were for staging and not for real life daily use.

It feels reallly bad timing to be going on about the titanic.

I do love the kitchen ceiling.

It was so naff! The woman was irritating af and there was so much filler and repetition I basically watched the last 10 minutes. Seriously shite programming. The only upside was the space was actually quite dim and cool in lighting so perhaps that's why they didn't stick a dining table in the furthest area.

I saw this too. Thought it was bonkers not to have a separate dining table. Also the feature geometric windows looked too small.

Eat round the island:fine. But why not have the sink in the run of units instead? Who wants to eat next to the sink?!

Thanks for the heads up. I love this but had no idea it was on.

Yes to the sink!

Oh it was so disappointing this week. Hated the design and felt there was far too much circular waffle after they had it built.

Miss Robert in this!

@Katjolo definitely! I can see why he left though, I think (but may be misremembering) only one couple picked his design in s2.

I think I saw Laura in the preview clips for this series.

The (American?) Couple who put a bath into their bench, in the kitchen, picked Robert's design.
I'm sure he had more than one pick him, but can't remember others.

For this, in week in the VR, I thought the dining table area looked really dark. So I'm not surprised they went with a TV area instead.

Not sure what they achieved by swapping the kitchen to the other side? Surely that would have been a massive expensive pain?

But I actually did like it, I thought it was lovely.

Yes Laura is in next week's. I love her.

I agree re the filler - the guff visiting the other places for supposed design symmetry is just fluff BS. I’d rather see more of the build / their thought processes (ie why flip the kitchen / get rid of the dining table). Even though in this episode the woman was annoying!
I miss Robert too 🙁

The garden one they have the second, small budget challenge. It would be nice to see something similar.
Someone just getting under stairs storage sorted or something.
