Did any of you guys get paid for doing this?

Wow, what a fantastic programme, loving the twist about the losers only having a toolbox.

1 question to the Smiths: Why didnt you just use Grim Reaper and flip it out of the garden?

i liked the bit where the hockeys said they would use gravity , ah if only, can you imagine gravity relocating the shed

From the trailer, it looked like next weeks show is the Buxton one. Teams were the Twissells (Frog and H) and the Fletts (Dawn and Mark). Im particularly fond of the machines in that show - a very distinct air of whimsy about them. Though again, it was chucking it down on the showdown day, harrumph.

Me like the look of the fruit flinger one

Never mind getting paid - I would love the kind of house that, when you pull away an appliance from the wall, it leaves absolutely no mess behind and the wall is spotless

Heh. Good spot, Karoline, I honestly hadnt noticed that. Though, curiously, theres nothing faked there!

Mind you - any team capable of doing the show really should have realised that their washing machine was the most powerful motor around, and hence should have planned for that to come out. One suspects a fair few swaps happened in the days before the crew rolled up, and I wouldnt blame anybody for that. Indeed, washing machine disembowelling sequences were second only to angle-grinding sparks as most common camera shot.

Something like 1.5 million viewers, incidentally. Which is right in that grey area between sinks without trace and recommission at once. Down from the two million watching Top Gear, but matching Bremner, Bird and Fortune on C4. Fingers crossed that it grows.

Also you must remember that a new Frost was on the same time on ITV1...

...The first in about 2 years and last for another few months.
