On BBC 2 now.

They did a one off a few years ago and it was fking hilarious.

This is a new series apparently. Can't believe there are really people out there like this.

Apparently. Are they just doing it for the cameras to drum up a bit more business?

Yep, they've been on before...the program was about companies that were badly run/just about to go under...

I remember the bint saying that she wanted a Continental GT, but, luckily, hubby wouldn't let her buy one until they started to make more money...looks like they're still driving around in a Jag

According to the Radio Times, in the next episode they decide to branch out into France. Unfortunately, the think that the French word for conservatory is 'conservatoire', so they end up wasting a considerable amount of time phoning French people up, asking them if they would like to buy a music academy.

that should be a laugh to watch its funny how conservatories aren't that popular in France , where its boiling hot in the Summer and sub zero in the winter
