The whole concept of the show to renovate a house in Italy is quite educational and it is great to see the Italian landscape and culture. Both of the presenters are reasonably professional and much of what they do is ok. It's a shame they let it down by too much self indulgence.
Both of them are a bit self congratulatory about laughing at their own jokes, which is offputting
Amanda Holden treats it too much like a catwalk, parading hundreds of different impractical outfits which just jars with the tone of the program.
It is questionable what if anything their practical skills actually added to the renovation. From what I can see they do a few photo opportunities holding a hammer or trowel then effectively let the builders get on with the work. Alan Carr is particularly annoying shrieking with delight at his own incompetence like it's endearing. It's not! It's attention seeking.
So a mixed bag I think let down by the vanity of the presenters which should be dialled down from 9 to 5!!
