Even better are *some* of the US/Can programmes, even though much is irrelevant in the UK, the problem with Tommy Walsh is that he is either truly a typical tea swigging lazy UK builder or is acting to dumb down the programme. Also the time-line of building work within "Challenge Tommy Walsh" is often getting masked as it used to on those dammed awful BBC home design programmes [1] of the past...
[1] I won't ever mention the ITV efforts, about all that can be said about those programmes is that they sell advertising time for ITV!
