They are so good at this-that sometimes you do not even notice it. I think they do a wonderful job.

If the purchasers are brothers we get "he ain`t heavy, he`s me brother" by the Hollies; if the house is a wreck we get "this ole house" by shaking stevens and so on - its completetely cringe-worthy and i often end up turning the sound off altogether for sections of the programme! Next time its on just listen at the music and how they mtch it to the purchasers, it`s pathetic!

Question is, are you on alcohol? Or are you just copying what people said on other sites, without having a clue? The music is vaguely similar to "Express Yourself", but it is definitely NOT that. At least listen to it before making dumb comments. @Guy: No it’s not. Question is, are you on alcohol? Or are you just copying what people said on other sites, without having a clue?

Type in 'Homes Under the Hammer' in 'search', then go through the episodes to find the right one (if it's there). Wish you luck!! Or rather than contact the BBC, write to the production company, I'm sure they would know. Guy, No I'm not and never have. Don't need those to keep me flying! Thanks for the info - interesting.
