Grand Designs

I am renting DVDs with the UK TV show Grand Designs.

I recommend it. (I'm not sure how availability is outside the UK.)
It is well produced, and you see some excellent houses being built by passionate people.
Also the show and the host Kevin McCloud are very warm and positive, there is none of that snide critizism you sometimes see in journalism. It's a big pleasure.

just wait - some definite sneering and snide commments in some of the later series.

That being said it really is good watching. Especially loved the German prefab house built in the UK countryside - now thats how to build (German technology).

Yes, the HUF house was the one which turned me onto the series. A friend mentioned it, and I got it on DVD from HUF Haus. It seems everybody saw that one.
