They're not... no, they're not really, are they? Tell me they're not...
.. I was half hoping that they were just sending the Changing Rooms crew over to Boscastle to help with the rebuilding of the town, but oh no.. the designers are getting the say on what the rooms get rebuilt as...
.. haven't the residents had it bad enough this year as it is??

Sorry, but I can't really understand this thread.
I can understand how the residents of the town would be glad of all the help they can get to get the rebuilding done, but do they need the full Changing Rooms treatment?
"Hmm I thought we'd go for a Medeterranean mosaic effect on your living room wall.. I thought it'd work really really well.."
Thats really bad that they can be like that to people who have lost close to everything. When i saw the show I thought it was a bit odd changing rooms doing all this if they were covered by insurance but I see why now.
I am no fan of Changing Rooms, and normally don't watch it. The "victims" tend to get what they deserve. This time, however, it seems as though the professionals were in charge of the designs, and the results were, in fact, not at all bad.
Would they?
(by the way, wasn't Lawrence trying to do "heavy, serious and sincere" the funniest thing on tv this year, behind Melanie Sykes' quiz show presenting "style"?)
I thought it was VERY wrong of the BBC to be airing a TV show about refurbishing after the flood, less than a week after almost 80,000 (as of today) people have died in A FLOOD!
it should have been pulled on sunday.
What happened in Asia was very very sad, but it's not cause to go mental on TV schedules and pull anything which may be consider mildly offensive to a few people.
The later program on BBC2 was very very good however. A bbc crew had been filming in the village a few months prior to the flood (not sure why), and have filmed since the flood. Its a series called A Seaside Parish.
However the other programme (A Seaside Parish) was excellent. They started filming earlier in the year and obviously had to edit it as events unfolded. I hadn't really seen the effects of the flood in such graphic detail before. I have been to Boscastle (a few years ago) but the reports after the flood didn't explain what had happened so well as this programme. I am looking forward to the rest of the series.
I was disturbed by the newspaper report that Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen has a holiday home only a few miles away from Boscastle. Smacks of too much personal involvement, perhaps it was inappropriate of him to have been in this show.
As someone pointed out earlier, fortunately no-one was killed in this isolated event, which is relatively minor compared to the Asian Tsunami in which 100,000+ are likely to have died.
Hopefully the Changing Rooms team won't embarrass Britain by offering to go and "help" there.
If you didn't see the programme I can't see the point of you commenting. I saw one of the families rooms, and they seemed happy.
The press has it in for Changing Rooms, which is fair enough, because its crap. But this was the last episode of the show, its over now, and I'm pleased they went out with some decent designs.
So, ladies and gentlemen of the press, you can leave the show alone now. Its over.
