Cranberry Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 How much more mileage can they possibly get out of that tired old format Location Location Location. Maybe I'm just getting grumpy in my old age, but is this really the best programming idea C4 can come up with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19 year mortgage 8itch Posted April 19, 2012 Author Share Posted April 19, 2012 Go for it, it's a Glasgow number, they'll enjoy a good laugh. Actually, I have a panic disorder brought on by the prospect of having a mahoosive mortgage for a pile of baked clay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecrashingisles Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 The parody writes itself. Imagine Anne from Little Britain being advised on house buying by Kirsty. Kirsty: To secure the property you should make an offer of 10% over the asking price. Anne: Ugh ugh ugh! Kirsty: Do you want me to call the agent for you? Anne: Ugh ugh ugh! Kirsty: They've accepted the offer. You're going to be a homeowner! Anne urinates over Kirsty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrB Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 I thought this was awesome, didn't know whether to laugh or cry. I honestly just got this email Is that a wind up? Can property TV stoop any lower or get any more surreal? Those two w*nkers bullying retards into buying overpriced housing - this is unconscionable surely!?

I honestly just got this email Are mental health issues a prerequisite for getting the "punter's job" then?

peahead Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 I have half a mind to email MIND about this. Only HALF a mind... you'll be perfect for the show... Plenty of vendors locally that could be right for the show... suffering from delusions... think a 3 bed shitbox with no garden is worth £400k Comes to something when nobody wants Phil and Kirsty to act for them in the purchase of a house, so they target people with a mental illness Is there no limit to the level they will stoop?

RandomFactor Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Someone should sign up, play along for a bit, then do this every time the camera starts rolling: Then when they get angry, you could cry and claim it's a symptom of your condition.
