|
Ostensibly this program looks a the downside of buying abroad, the way assorted problems can occur, from being conned by the estate agent through to dodgy builders etc.
You might think it would make useful viewing for those of us, looking to downsize to a sunny location 
But the program is the worst example I have ever seen of padded, dumbed down tripe, and it has been deleted from my recording schedule.
I can live at least a little, with hearing the history of the people involved, brings thing to life a bit, knowing that things are happening to real people.
What I can't cope with, is the sheer excess of dross  but the final straw is the fact that every 10minute into the program, they feel the need to do a complete recap of what you have heard so far  as if you have no short term memory at all. A lot of programmes seem to do this these days  the European nightmares has to be the worst culprit I have ever watched.
