the most annoying part of that programme is his over-usage of the word "space" to describe what you and i would refer to as a "room".
grotty little show.

Going to have to raise two other contenders for his most annoying habits:
Spending 30 seconds describing the "flow" from kitchen to lounge just because it's open plan, which we can see for ourselves on screen.
Pronounciation of architect as "ar'i-tek"
Also find myself groaning when the people will have a 70k budget and "small contingency", then by the end of it have spent 110k with no explanation at all.
Infuriating programme which I sit through just for the 3 minute reveal at the end despite every house having 90% of the same features.

my wife's really into this george clarke programme where "unfortunate"(?) people with ugly and/or badly designed houses get them revamped by an architect. it should be called "cleanshirt gets an extension" because that's basically what it is.
anyway, they almost always get some edgy facade or cladding put on the front of the house and sometimes they do little voxpops with boomer neighbours about how this MODERN building fits within the existing estate or village or whatever.
i always think a much more interesting programme would focus on these petty planning grievances and the time rich, cash rich, perspective poor people who live for them. "not in keeping with the character of the area with george clarke"
