Episode 1. Escape to the country.
This was on while I was stuck in the waiting room while my car was having a service. F uck me.
What a depressing shower of arse dribble that show is. The basic premise was a timid elderly henpecked gent in a complete state of submission and his overbearing obese wife are looking to sell up their urban home and move to Worcestershire. They are then led around a dreary, possibly haunted ramshackle cottage whilst the wife moans about the kitchen being too small and the gent stands on in perpetual silence, regretting the day he ever met her.
Then for some reason which is inexplicable for a house buying show they go and visit a bird sanctuary where the wife is presumably told to ask questions about what the sanctuary does and how they are funded, whilst her husband stands on silently wishing his wife would get her eyes gouged out by an irate kestrel.
Then to the next house, a converted barn. It's even smaller than the last one. Finally the gent speaks up and says he's glad it's got a bath because he likes baths and his current house doesn't have a bath so he's had to have a shower for the last thirty years which is a shame because he likes baths. Anyway his fat wife wasn't happy with this one either so presumably his having a bath dream has been crushed.
Then the presenter buggers off to talk to a man who knows a lot about plums. He asks him lots of questions about plums and the man answers expertly as if he was an expert about plums. Then it cuts to a wine drinking contest where middle class people can slurp lots of wine without anyone labelling them a piss head. It is at this point I start dreaming about an angry kestrel ramming a plum down my throat this relieving me of this living hell but luckily the show continues and the happy couple are presented with the very exciting "mystery house".
What a dump.
Anyway the miserable fat bitch finds fault with literally everything but becomes a bit excited when she realises the house is cheaper than she thought it was and therefore in her budget range, but it is not revealed whether or not they bought it. The gent is left solemnly wishing for death to take him whilst the end credits roll.
Final score:
Entertainment value 1/10
Excitement 1/10
Plum education level 10/10 |  |

I catch it at the gym and watch it with envy as to how relatively young couples have such a high budget ,say 500k plus. Peanuts to Warwick and the Home Counties crew but still.. |  |

Was it presented by that shirt-lifter Alistair something? The one who used to be on with that mad American 'house doctor' with the cross eyes? |  | | |

Worc's that's a relief, if it was an old edition and West Wales it might have been my property before I bought it, had a phone call off a friend years ago saying switch the box on your house is on the tv.  |  |

The worst bit about escape to the country is they never say if they bought it. |  |
| Ever since my son was... never conceived, because I've never had consensual sex without money involved... I've always kind of looked at you as... a thing, that I could live next to... in accordance with state laws. | | Poll: | How do you like your steak? |

Good point
I look at my offspring sometimes and they re failures as they don't seem to be able to have a budget of 400k
I also watch winter in the sun
What puts me off buying is the isolation of Fincas and the alternative being ex pats ,a la Harry Enfield sketch . Met loads and not one have I not wanted to kick their teeth down their tanned gullet | |

You're thinking about the sister show "escape to glyn neath" which focuses on escapees from local psychiatric facilities on the run for a better life. | |

No the worst bit was the ten minute interview with a plum expert but yes, sitting through all that without a reveal is incredibly frustrating and I found it hard to concentrate during bargain hunt. | |

Last week I saw what I put down as the best ever episode of Bargain Hunt. Both the red team and the blue team returned a profit on all 4 items but the reds just sneaked the win. |  |

Ha, I reckon you know you would.
Not Worcester ( unless you rubbed sauce on her thyroid ) | |

I reckon the contestants who lose money ought to be made to pay it out of their own pockets.
They wouldn't be so feckin cavalier about wasting licence payers' money then.

It sounds like gripping edge of your seat viewing. Almost as exciting as an episode of tipping point the other day when one of the disks looked like it was gonna drop but then it didn't, but suddenly then did drop. | |

Wife forced me to watch an episode of Jeremy Kyle.
Amazed he's not been knocked out yet, his smug insistence people must have cheated because they failed his lie detector tests ignores the fact such tests are only around 60% accurate hence not accepted in courts of law... | |

"Escape To The Country" is complete dumbed down garbage, it's bottom line to incite envy and hatred towards the godamned awful participants & prove how unequal our society is.
Shiite, like 90% of TV these days.
J Kyle, meanwhile, continues to reside in my top 5 list of the UK's most vile, objectionable, sanctimonious knuts.
Fack knows how many televisions I've kicked in because of him.
5 at least. |  | | |

You're missing very little, mate, believe me.
I must watch about 6 hours a week, if that, and that's mostly the news.
The rest is stultifying & intolerable. | | | |

Yeah, then you get the episode where some fat tart from Scunthorpe has shagged about 15 men and they want to know which one is the father, so they do a dna test and it's none of them. | |
