Escape to the Country

Really like the programme however I feel that the presenter and also the views should have more respect for the properties and their owners. They are all walking into the property with outdoor boots and shoes which could possibly be wet, dirty and muddy, why do they not remove their shoes. Surely it's the right thing to do.?

This series is easily my favourite of all the home/ house series shows and watch it when ever possible.bi automatically dream of having the opportunity to be in a position to buy in areas in a house they show on each show, such beautiful country sides. Highly recommended to anyone loving the English country side...

As at November 28, 2010. Channel 7 (2) airs Escape To The Country twice per week.

8.30pm Friday night, and 8.30pm Sunday night.

Enjoy the breathtaking countryside twice as often now!

One of the all time great English lifestyle shows, Escape To The Country allows to viewer to relax and unwind whilst being transported to tiny villages, to remote Welsh landscapes, to dramatic coastal retreats....all at the end of your remote control.

Potential tree changers (PTC), and sea changers (PSC)enlist the help of the host to seek their ideal property.

In general, however, potential is more akin to tyre kicking.

No matter! It is not really the PTC's and PSC's that we are interested in....it is the quintessential English garden, or the 500 year old cottage, or the thought of finding the mythical "Dibley" or "Studley Constable" that draws the viewer.

One of our favourite shows to watch while eating lunch. The hosts are all so gracious and the buyers are so polite, so British, lovely.

We live in Canada and watching this program, we have learned so much about the British Counties that we definitely want to vacation in some of them.

Although we like all the hosts, Alistair, Jules, Nicki and Sonali are our favourites . They have incredible charm and character.

Comparing that to the USA homebuyer shows which often show extremely bad mannered people.

The only thing I would love to see is a follow up to see what people ended up buying and getting a brief update.

Have watched this show for many, many years as I enjoy seeing properties and areas in various parts of the country. But like every other property show on TV the presenters insist on saying, 'this is the dining room SPACE' or 'this is the kitchen SPACE' or ' this is a lovely SPACE' instead of saying room, it drives me mad, why do they have to use this poncy overused word every 5 minutes. I assume the presenters are told to say this as it's considered trendy and arty. But it makes me switch off as it gets on my nerves so much. It has spoilt one of my favourite programmes, but they are not alone as it seems to be the property show disease! Get a new word or stop using it altogether as it's getting really boring and aggravating.
