\nWhat does our nation need to see in these straitened times? Surely not a young couple who have \u2018just\u2019 40k to do up an already over-priced doer-upperSuch is the total state of this country that when I first saw the title of this series I assumed it was a euphemism for Britain.

A classic Channel 4 property programme about how whacking a \u00a34,750 porch on to the front of your \u201cultimate doer-upper\u201d could add 2% to the value. What the Worst Country on Mainland Europe needs, in short, is Worst House on the Street. Continue reading…
