Advantages: interesting show

Disadvantages: Always posh people with loadsa money

This is the great show that is aired on Channel 4 and usualy runs for around 60 minutes.
The show was first shown in 1999 and seems to go from strength to strength and is presented by Kevin Mccloud.
The idea of the show is simple, we watch as people either build from scratch or renovate somewhere they can call home.
You will see all of the pit falls that can befall you when carrying out such a mamouth task.
There are lots of new innovative products that are energy saving and Hi Tec.
This is a great programme to watch if you are into the idea of building your own home but something I find recently is the people are always rolling in it and create lovely energy efficent homes that cost a fortune.
I remember in the first few series there was usually some mad person that was intent on building their dream home with next to nothing (where have all these people gone)
The good thing about the show is they always take you back to the finished property even if it is sometimes years later.

I recently went to the Grand Designs Live show in Birmingham where you could explore new homes and all the latest gadgets available which was great but again aimed at posh people not good honest working class like us.
So Kevin if you are reading this get some real people on the show next series.

Go onto the Channel 4website and click on Grand designs for more information.
There is also a magazine to the show which I think is around £4 per issue

Summary: Great show but get some norms on it Kevin
