Location Location Location must be the queen of the house-buying shows! Not only do I love Kirsty and her utterly bizarre "country woman" wardrobe (bet you she has a witch and a lion in there as well), the contestants they find for this show are just as peculiar: wonderful houses are discarded because "there are only 2 bathrooms" or "the sash windows are double glazed"... Honestly, whoever recruits these people is a true genius! Kirsty and Phil don't seem to take it all too seriously either... you just have to love them.

I HATE Location, Location, Location. Why? Because if I hear another TV presenter on some pathetic lifestyle program use the completely overused and meaningless phrase "Wow Factor" I am very likely to feel the unrestrained urge to puncture my own eardrums, stab myself in the eyes with a biro and lie down on some train tracks and hope I get flattened.
On the whole the show is innocuous enough. Friendly perky presenters help people with more money than sense to find a second home at an unreasonably low price and then proceed to show them that they will need to make compromises to get something within their budget.
What this show does which is WRONG, however, is encourage couples to overextend themselves by suggesting that one simply MUST have a second house in the country, thereby helping to drive up house prices and make it harder for people on working class incomes and first time buyers to be able to move out of rental accomodation.
I say no more house buying programs!
Down with lifestyle TV and down with the Wow Factor!
