Best not to ask me why I did it, but I sat down last night to watch the last bit of Location, Location, Location on Channel 4. From what I could see, there were two sets of househunters, one with 400,000 to spend on a home in the village where half of them grew up, and the other looking for a house in Torquay to suit their 550,000 budget. One of the househunters was a football coach and the other one had an obsession with surfing. Explaining that, presumably, filled up another five minutes of airtime. With this detailed brief, Kirsty Allsopp and Phil Spencer - plus the research team who do all the work for them - head off into the distance to look for a suitable selection of potential homes that might tick all the boxes.
