    I remember watching these episodes and although I was sceptical at first, I found the episode at 4:00 quite inspiring. They weren't just a couple of middle class yuppies after all but a vision of family and how they could do the best by it. And it worked. With regard to that last episode 7:53 with the fuckt up pseudo Speyer home, what a wanker that guy was. And what a pigs ear he made of something that could've been remarkable. I thought Kevin went way too easy on these two. It turned out an absolute monstrosity. The mobile bookcases demonstrated - dare I say - screamed just how bad it was. Take them out and their colour co-ordinated books and journals and what have you got. A hall of ridiculous, poorly considered dimensions. All that view, and you've got a bunch of blank wall hiding what should've been the _pièce de résistance_ but instead, you get a corner that's way too tall and added stupid cost at the expense of the modernist possibility. (sigh)

    What I find hilarious about GD is the deep irony of the programme. We begin our journey with an overly smug couple standing in a field with Kevin, enjoying the view. Then at the end of the programme the house is rightly forgotten, as they all stand in it again looking at the same view only this time attempting to ignore the Tesco Express box albeit clad in wood, that they find themselves trapped in.

    Kevin McCloud starts with the presumption that the design is going to be gloomy inside. It’s a bit prejudicial when he hasn’t even
    seen how the effect is at the end. In fact, he changes his mind when he sees the final result. I notice this is has been a common theme throughout the great design series. Now don’t get me wrong please because I happen to like the great design theory and I like Kevin McCloud. I think this is just some sort of theatrical rhetoric to make the ending seem more amazing when the final reveal is made. I personally just find it an annoying practice.

    Kevin McCloud talks so much bollox. He really needs a scriptwriter. His choice of houses (if he's the one that picks them) is, to say the least, inconsistent and sometimes bordering on the banal. Sometimes inspirational, sometimes humdrum
