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.

It was BBC as there were no adverts, but I am not sure of time or channel and trust me you don't want to waste your time. I scan the sky+ program guide a couple of times a week and set things up to record, as such when a programme was actually on, tends to pass me by. jema

Has anyone seen "Homes under the Hammer" it is in almost exactly the same mould, endlessly recapping what has gone on before jema
