TV property porn is out of synch | Charlie Swinbourne | Comment is free | guardian.co.uk
Lately, every time I turn on the TV, I feel like I'm stepping into a parallel world. If I'm not stumbling across rustic Cotswolds farm houses on Escape to the Country (BBC2), I'm watching couples judge each other on the basis of their homes on ITV1's May the Best House Win. Then there's Homes Under the Hammer (BBC1), To Buy or Not to Buy (BBC2), and of course Channel 4's Relocation, Relocation, not to mention its Australian spin-off, Relocation: Phil Down Under. And that's just the terrestrial channels.
Not long after watching yet another affluent couple decide which luxurious home they'll choose to buy, I start feeling a little sad. That's because, like many people my age, my chances of owning even a bog-standard semi to call my own any time soon are looking very slim indeed. So when I see fussy house hunters complaining of minor flaws in the decor of a bathroom bigger than my living room, I feel like TV executives are playing a sick joke on us.
