The thing with the Renovators, as with all these other specialty shows, is that when I get home from a hard day’s work, it feels like work all over again having to watch them meet the terrible deadlines the producers keep setting. Does it really have to be all that stressful??

If the Renovators is being beaten by Top gear then it really is in trouble.
Top gear has become so long in the tooth it should really be referred to as “Walrus”
Clarkson is surely the most over paid one trick pony on Television these days.
Then again Magda Szubanski has managed to score another gig so it just shows that having no personality or talent is a sure fire hit for success on Australian TV.
