Has anyone been watching this CH4 documentary the last 2 weeks. Interesting. For those who haven't the tv company bought a house for 300.000 in a pretty Yorkshire village and each week two families move into the village and try to integrate with the locals in the hope that at the end of their stay the villagers will choose them as the possible winner of the house.


All the people/families are from different lifestyles and parts of the uk. Tonight the villagers had to choose between a single parent who did life modelling to support herself and 2 children and two gay women who'd been married for 4 years and were hoping for a child through IVF. I find it interesting listening to the villagers comments about the different people each week and the lifestyle they live. An interesting insight into the human condition.

I was glad they won too SB. I noticed a lot of the women in the village drooling over the looks of the other hubby as he tried to win them over with his DIY skills () but I preferred the other couple and was glad to see that although the villagers weren't used to black people among them they accepted them for who they are.

I watched the first week. . didn't watch last nights tho. .hearing some of the stuff the villagers were saying last week made me go oooer quite a lot. . not a place I'd wanna live at all...

looked pretty on the outside but some people living there were pretty dark ages minded and seemed like they'd not gone within a 10 mile radius of their village in their whole life nor interacted with a world outside their little community ever....  ..  guaranteed it was not all of them  but enough to make me want to back away quickly from the place.. free housing or not.. 

Tho it was a show for C4 so the editing may have made it look a lot worse than it actually is

I think I love this program. That woman last night had some mad ideas. How she thought taking her kit off and auctioning herself off would make the villagers think she was a worthy addition to the village was beyond me? I can see why they didn't take to her. I think she thought she might have got through with the vote of the male villagers, but they looked as confused as the wives

The lesbian couple were lovely.
