Watching this week's episode, I was struck by what seemed to be strange timing for a re-staged discussion.
At the Wembley house, the original plan was to remove several internal walls, with Sarah cautioning that this would make the steels very expensive, and suggesting that one of the walls should be left in place.
Later, we are shown steels being inserted. The erection gang appearing to have gone, the owners then stand by the contentious wall, which is perpendicular to the mid point of the longest steel.
By this time the end of the wall looks like it has freshly mortared bricks, as if it had been neatened off after being chopped back.
The discussion then (surprise!) leads to the decision not to drop the wall.
Up to that point, if we are to believe the narrative as shown, the long steel would have already been sized for the extra load, and the only saving would have been the shorter one to bolt onto it.
Why is it so imperative that we have to have everything forced into a narrative arc?
