Same here. You only get monkeys for peanuts, and theyre not even offering those.
How would they make cheaptertainment out of a competent job I wonder?
We have a budget of xxxx, and its cost us.... xxxx + little.
We have a project time estimate of yyy... and its taken us yyy + a little.
We know what we're doing, so theres no omg will they or wont they involved.
When we hit a complication we dont know how to do, we go get informed, make a sensible decision and get on with it. So theres no omg-what-are-you-doing moments.
An overheated presenter rushing round among real workers would look like a t--, so theres no simple ruse to get the slower viewers excited.
Its a job, and the result is a nice house. Whats there for the inattentive superficial tv viewer?
One answer is Ben Law. A competent worker determined to do something genuinely unusual, instead of just another wally with another tatty Victorian house and some iffy plans. But the tv folk dont seem to have the nouse to find those (theyre tv people, not period property people). If you want to find em, maybe try the BAR register.
Or else make a post here explaining you want to do something of quality, and actually check back to see the responses. (yep, for real!) Engage someone with a clue about PP to select a suitable candidate. And, yep... pay them for all the dic-ing around it'll involve.
Or if you want to swing the other way for a good program, maybe try it Russian style, and film a project to build as much as you think you can get away with without PP or BR, that would be a fun exercise that I'm sure would really capture the nation. Some people who know what theyre doing will have some fairly good ideas. Again though it'll cost, people wont shell out just cos you ask them to. There are ways of doing it very cheaply and quite possibly ways to pull it off.
Either way, use your brain instead of turning out more crap. Unless you want to spend the rest of your career on programs of no value or quality.
