Can Alistair Appleton PLEASE stop saying 'sort of' !!! Thank you

I can't believe how many of the hosts wear boots or even shoes inside the homes. In particular "Sonali" she wears healed boots at times and walks across hardwood floors. I think they should have shoes/slippers at the ready before entering. It's disrespectful to walk across a garden particularly in inclement weather and enter someone's home. I wouldn't think they would do it in their own homes. Another thing that's perhaps of a lesser importance is the fact "Sonali" likes to pat herself on the back far too much and looks for the clients gratification.

Hello from Missouri! I so enjoy watching ETTC here in the States, it brings me a slice of Home as I am from London. The locations are indeed a travel through England tour guide - absolutely delightful!! That said - I have an issue with the properties shown. Simply put, they often exceed the stated budget. I find that annoying and while it is not a waste of my time ... it most certainly is a waste of the Buyers(s). Why show them anything over their budget? Why not show them houses below their budget or at least " not to exceed". For example: last evening we watched Season 21 Episode 14, " Pembrokeshire". The Buyer said she had a budget of 700,000UK and if the magic place was found she could find up to 900,000UK. - So, where did Alistair start? 750,000UK! With the average home price in P-shire being 300K, surely he could have found a 600K property for her. Even the 2 " if you are on a budget" homes were darling!! Show her that! I would like for the properties to honor the budget. Make every home affordable. Secondly - it would be nice if " I Escaped To The Country" could be shown or a show created to follow-up on the buyers. I would love to have an episode follow-up for when the buyers actually move. I truly want to know how they got on!

I’m based in the U.S. and have been watching your show for 6 months. While I enjoy the hosts, format of 3 homes, including the ‘Mystery House,’ beautiful gardens, the history lesson of each village and county, the very old and sometimes new architecture, and the British accents and words which vary from American English. However, there seems to be a glaring oversight which shows a 100% negative outcome when Buyers are choosing their homes. If one or both Buyers are tall, then are required to duck when touring home with beams, low doorways or climbing stairs, the house in question gets eliminated 100% of the time! Therefore, when the Host/Agent previews the property, this should be taken into consideration so that the Buyers truly get three valid choices. Otherwise, keep on broadcasting “Escape To The Country” in America, and as you say, “Off you go!”

The writers/producers need to research the architectural features needed in homes as homeowners age - ground floor bedroom and full handicapped bath (these can really look great with sloped shower floors, teak benches, hand showers, no edging), no steps for the aging, better yet no thresholds, accommodate scooters not wheelchairs, wide hallways and doorways, pocket doos. The properties selected for viewing for aging or forever homes show serious ignorance of the design features needed as people age. They do not need to be shipped off to nursing homes if forever homes are properly designed. I love this show but the ignorance about the needs of the aging are grating. Do not rely only on handicap building codes - they do not pass the scooter test and other needed conveniences.

Really like the programs .since the likely hood of ever visiting Great Brit. we do like the scene shots and a little history of that area. Most of the people who want to escape seem tobe retired or almost as such. In most of the shows no one seems to want bed rooms down.It would appear as yo grow older this would be a BIG factor, climbing stairs.

When this show started many moons ago the couple's used to look at a selection of properties on a lap top choose their favourites that they would like to see and if only say three properties caught their fancy then they had the choice of the mystery house, a house they could not see at this point on the laptop and would only be revealed to them once out viewing if they chose to see it. The format now is that they are shown properties they haven't chosen including a mystery house well surely they are all mystery houses as the couple have not chosen any of them I have always found this odd why they kept the so called mystery house in it. Apart from that love this programme looking at lovely houses in great locations. It's normally aimed at people of a certain age who always amaze me that they are prepared to take on sometimes huge houses with massive gardens when they are at a time of life where it will soon become a chore with the upkeep of it all and seem to consider the needs of family members who may visit a couple of times a year when they are making their decision. A programme that makes no demands of you but allows you into the thought processes of people looking to move which if you are like us causes debate about the various merits of the decisions made.

I love this show as do many of my Australian friends. However, it makes me mad when you get some of the English returning 'home' and knocking what you get in Australia such as the homes. I was really disgusted with one couple recently who said the food, fruit and vegetables, were not fresh or something to that effect. With regard to homes, Australia is a 'new' country and can't be expected to be like England, and as far as the food goes our produce is some of the best in the world. I'm glad those who whinge have gone back to where they belong.

I always watch this show like nearly everyday and I record it when I am busy or out and about. I think that Escape to the country should make brand new episodes rather than always watching repeated ones or change it abit by if there is old episodes, they should include how families have brought the property's or if they ever did or see where they ended to living and tell viewers what is it like to live in the countryside. Myself I never considered living in the countryside but when watching Escape to the Country I very much would love to move to the countryside.

I love your show and I would love to know where they buy their dresses. My only negative is pretty much the same as many of the comments on here, in that they sometimes show people houses that are nothing like what the person asked for in the first place. I understand the mystery house is supposed to challenge but what about the other two? Is it because there is a shortage of property that matches their requirements in that particular search area? I imagine it's sometimes hard to match, requirements, area and budget. Anyway, for the most part I love the show, keep it up.

What prompted meto write is WHY does Denise Nurse always seem to wear those horible boots? Are they surgically removed each day? And for an intelligent person, she makes some silly remarks, followed by a silly laugh. The rooms are too small, only one bathroom, small kitchen, what is her answer' "yes but look at your lovely garden" For goodness sake, get rid of her.

I'M AN AVID FAN, BUT BRING BACK CATHERINE GEE, GET RID OF THE MALE GLORIFIED REAL ESTATE AGENT WHO THINKS IT'S ALL ABOUT HIM. NOTE HOW MANY TIMES HE SAYS "I". HE ACTS LIKE HE'S ON COMMISSION. THE SHOW HAS MADE ME WANT TO TRAVEL TO ENGLAND JUST TO SEE THE COUNTRY SIDE. NOT A FAN OF THE NEW CONCEPT, IT WASN'T BROKEN, WHY FIX IT? PLEASE, PLEASE BRING BACK CATHERINE!!!!!!
