Top 10 Grand Designs Disasters kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZoF11cqodLGdo5s.html

The thing I find fascinating about this programme is the large number of participants who say “It’s our forever home”, only for them to put it up for sale just a few weeks later.

They all go so over budget they probably have to sell to pay off the debt!

So true! I’m going to look at a former Grand Designs home tomorrow, that is now a prize home in a lottery! I remember watching the episode, working out where it was and going to see it (from the outside) - NOW, I’m going to buy the WINNING TICKET to win it!

Yes - your choices were right on. Well done.

Number 1 is the wrong episode. The one you are referring to as "the woodsman's cottage" was in Sussex 2003. The clip you're showing is from Hereford in 2003

The actual Sussex home is my favourite. Disappointed that watchmojo got this wrong. I hope they correct it

I love your channels work, thank you!

Every episode: "I have no experience in building, £5,000 and 2 months to build this whole house" In the end the build took 1 year and £500k to complete

Excellent

i love this show, out of the 3 grand designs series, NZ, AUS and UK the UK original has the best host and program although i won't stop watching the others 😉

Wow I’m early! These homes are incredible

I remember most of these!

Number 1 is wrong that's not Ben law

1:21 "This whole floor is like a kind of luxury hotel suite". That sums up most of the Grand Design houses - posh hotel/brothel/industrial unit. Virtually no thought is given to maintenance. Flat roof (replace every 20-25 years), or wooden roof (who is going to paint on the treatment every 10 years?). Steel posts into nicely corrosive sea water. Brilliant. There have been one or two good results, but on the whole they are just architect's wet dreams. Keep architects where they belong: in an asylum.

With my new house I went for the posh slum style of modern India. It's small, leaks, no heating, no warm nor running water, noisy, but I only overshoot the budget with 250 000 £.

Nice

Number 10 is horrific😭😂

Derry isn’t in the north of Ireland 🇬🇧

@@Pipsicle330 - A contentious subject but yes they do actually. Having travelled extensively throughout both north and south for many years, I can confirm that quite a few Republicans 🇮🇪 in their desire for a united Ireland, simply do recognise ‘Northern Ireland’ as a separate ‘state’ or entity, and do not refer to it as such, preferring to call that part of the country ‘The north OF Ireland’. (Ireland being one country in their eyes). In fact such nomenclature is written into the constitution of organisations such as The 32 Counties Sovereign Committee and other republican groups. Such distinction is similar to the fact that some people do not recognise the state of Israel 🇮🇱 (despite it being established in 1948), preferring instead to refer to it as ‘Occupied Palestine’.🇵🇸

@@AtheistOrphan Living there for nearly 46 years years I can confirm that you are talking twaddle. A “few” Republican’s says it all. Happy to live in the UK and take all the benefits but pretend it’s a foreign country. More fool you for paying any attention to the brain dead.
