What a strange guy!  A cross between Christopher Biggins and Percy
Sugden!

I recorded the programme and just watched it tonight.  What a difficult
project to manage, esp for his first attempt!  He was very annoying, but
you can't knock him for trying.

However, no one can come close to that woman who wanted a very expensive
georgian 'doll's house' when it comes to stupidity!  Remember her???

Regards

Simon
