Reception
Express & Star was disappointed by the series, saying the problem was that it was "obsessed with the budget, and cost cutting, and this made it a little depressing" and it "did not have the drama of some of the other house building programmes". Time Out gave the series two stars out of five.
Calor was concerned by a scene in the series showing how to recycle a gas cylinder as a light fitting. It warned of the dangerous nature of the activity and illegality. The scene was subsequently removed from the programme and BBC iPlayer. However the scene will be included on the Australian release, 7Two stating that it is common practice in Australia already.
