I'd love to have the balls to be a true eccentric and be and wear what ever i liked.

Mr.Crinklewood

Yeeeaaah...a dog! !


Francis could be a new age Barbara Woodhouse ( young ones. ..Google her ).

Speaking of googling her. ...never knew she was from Rathfarnham ( Dublin )

Poor Stephen will need counselling after his stuff is gone

Francis better go for the running of president.

anewme

Both Stephen and Francis are whacky eccentrics and fantastic characters .....which makes a great show!!!

Thargor

So basically the whole episode was about hiring a skip and filling it?

That front door!!

I'm liking this Stephen fella.

He reminds me of a Stephen I know who is also a hoarder!

BabysCoffee

It's like an episode of serial hoarders

BabysCoffee

I like the end result.

It's a nice hippy dippy place

Skid X

It wouldn't be for me at all. Once a hoarder, always a hoarder. As soon as the cameras are gone the old ways will return. I'm not choosey but I'd rate basic tidiness and comfort over 'unique rural charm' every day,

The Tripadvisor reviews are varied, it seems to be a place you either love or hate.

That bowl is very close to the sink, eh?

somesoldiers

I don't know why they are reshowing stuff from 2009, why not just make a few more RTE, the budget is hardly that big, new suit for FB maybe, and am sure there are plenty of businesses crying out for the help/free advertising

the_pen_turner

they could have at least went back and revisited that place. it would be interesting to see it after all these years

It's coming back :eek: (it wasn't great first time round...and I say that as a Francis fan)

You've to pay for yourself?! :eek:

Yeah, it's a bit mad "convince us why you should be considered for this adventure!" and then you still have to cough up €700.

I think the participants had to pay last time too. The closing date on the website is 31 March. I don't think it really worked last time, it'll be interesting to see how it goes this time.

humm interesting, wouldn't be interested in going myself (except if that good looking girl from last time was going again) but will definitely tune in for lots of
"where's Mary, a will ye come on out of that, ye'd be late for your own funeral"

As with Coach Trip and it's host Brendan, Francis will be the one to tune in for....oh and to see if we know anyone

This series is a bizarre mixture of new, revisits, and just plain old repeats. Wish they'd make their minds up!

Although the sight of the two boys on the skewbald ponies, moseying down the drive slagging each other, made up for any irritation I may have had with the producers

It would be much better if they added on 10 mins to show us how they are getting on now. Did you see the state of that roof on the 'gazebo'? How hard would it have been to clean the moss off?

Radio5

Interesting to see that the Grand Tour is back. Going by comments in his most recent book I didn't think Francis would be too keen on it.

From what I read, he felt the group were rushed in going to too many destinations in too short a space of time. Also he wasn't seen too happy with the way programmes were edited and felt they didn't reflect the experience of the entire tour very well.

happyday

Quick turn on The Mario Rosenstock Show. Francis is on and he's only priceless!

happyday

I'm an even bigger fan now! You're a scream Francis !

HeidiHeidi

2what channel???

Eyepatch

It was a repeat, but still very funny. Good man, Francis! Also the episode with Pope Francis was quite funny.
