Most helpful review Grand Designs - Series 1

  • Early Grand Designs

    Rated - 4.0 stars  
    By a customer from Cumbria, England , 10 Dec 2006

    [Highly rated reviewer]

    This disc contains four episodes, some of which also feature a 'revisited' section on the extras.

    The Grand Designs on this disc are:

    Newhaven - Timber Framed Kit House

    Berkshire - The English Barn

    Brighton - The Co-operative Build

    Amersham - The Water Tower

    I enjoyed the Brighton one the best, where a co-op of people work together to build their own, and each others houses. The 'revisited' extra for that episode is also good as the homes change a lot in the time between the programmes.

    I lead an exciting sort of a life and i get out a bit but why out of all these fantastic titles am i jumping for joy when Grand Designs drops through my door. Because its fantastic, thats why. Excellent presenter, the sort of guy you would like to have a pint with, wonderful projects. Watch it you wont be disappointed.

    the beginning of a rather entertaining series. Not the mainstream or soap type, but showing the developements of 'dream' houses or villas. If you like them, up to you.

    However, the stubborness, strange tastes ofr the builders, etc. are always up for a good laugh. Also nice shooting of the places and a good narration.

    Being a sad individual, I find this TV series great as it gives me inspiration and also advice on how not to go about building your dream house. Quite frankly the way some of the featured people go about it is frightening, I wouldn't leave them in charge of the shopping let alone building a new house. The choice of presenter in Kevin McLoud is inspired as he just completes the whole thing - you understand him totally and wonder how he can keep a lid on his sheer disappointment with some of the couples.
