Did anyone see it last night? I had some dirt in both eyes at the end when the lad was given the Goalie gloves

I blamed it on the onions (even though we didn't have any!)
Nick Knowles does get the balance spot on with these shows.
I have been really down in the dumps recently but seeing this really made of appreciate what I have in my life. Lovely family hope he does ok. Those goalie gloves meant a lot to him didn't they.

The whole program has become a joke, you don't see any worthwhile building/design stuff any more, it's just become a load of sentimental slush.

It's now the UK version of Extreme Makeover Home Edition but I have to say I enjoy it.
Very humbling in places and nice to see local communities getting together and helping out - Makes you proud to be British... Extreme Makeover is very good but just seems to be used as advertising these days for all the brands that have chipped in (normally Sears)

Excuse me for stating the truth. The program is a joke. Lost it's original point completely, now it's just self-indulgent maudlin trash. If you get off on that, well put on the violins and enjoy.

I enjoy watching this too, exactly the sort of things the BBC should be spending our licence fee dosh on instead of boring period dramas. Taking someone's life and making it a huge amount better. Similar to bex above I was feeling fed up but watching something like DIY SOS The Big Build puts things in perspective a bit - there is always someone worse off than yourself.
I also appeared to have something in my eye at the end of the most recent (Dumfries) one. Strange.
