Place you bets on how many children Kevin will sire this series 8)

Apparently the first episode is a corker...

[b]Season 12 Episode 1 of 12
[/b]
[b]New series.
[/b]
Kevin McCloud meets more people trying to build dream homes, beginning with Sean Simons, who bought the ruins of Cloontykilla Castle in the Irish county of Roscommon with a view to using them to create a spectacular mock-16th-century home. However, the outlandish plans - including jacuzzis in the battlements and water-spouting gargoyles - have Kevin worried the project could become a garish nightmare, and his scepticism increases when he realises Sean has not consulted an architect. Disaster seems to be looming as the contractors get frustrated and planning regulations are ignored, but somehow things begin to slowly take shape - until a national economic crisis plunges everything into chaos

same old tired shit.
watch the first five minutes, then fast forward to the end to see what it looks like finished, how much they went over budget and how up his own arse Kevin can sound this week.

It'll all be OK as long as they don't compromise the integrity of the design.

Yup - currently watching who do you think you are, then will flip over near the end to see if there is anything worth looking at.

I saw an episode of this show where they went back 10 years, then revisited a house they did earlier. You always knew when you were from Kevin's hairline. If you fast-forwarded, it seemed to ebb and flow right in front of your eyes.

Unfortunately he doesn't have the cash, neither do the banks.

Bonkers.

Once more, I got angry at the telly.

Next week looks better - I think it is these blokes:

Have a look at their technique and clients sections - I think it is really clever.
