Whilst the program is fairly easy watching and quite a nice idea that's fine lots of old junk and do it up and flog it.
The biggest issue for me is awful narrator it's virtually unlistenable having someone shouting for the entire program.
Please get a new narrator and make it more enjoyable to watch.

I found this during Lockdown and was hooked pretty quickly. It is not just informative yet also has many comedic elements to it too. Simon's clever one liners and Henry's wackiness as they sort through garages and warehouses are often funny. The places they visit are also interesting too from country to manor to residential.
Simon seems the more creative and Henry the more the motor orientated and motorised objects seem to earn the most money. Gemma is an odd one she adds drama and a female touch to what is otherwise a blokes show. Some of her earlier choices of decor were somewhat ill-chosen though I think over time her choices have got better most of the time.
One thing I find odd is when Henry passes up on a motor vehicle to work on a small piece of furniture or a decorative object.
The interaction with the valuers rating their work also brings some interest too when either they have over restored reducing sales value or overspent reducing profit.

This started off as a really good, entertaining program but over time, most of the "fixes" seem to end up as either lamps or tables. It is still entertaining to watch with very likeable presenters but it's got quite predictable and tiresome.
I like this, I feel sorry for Simon sometimes because he sees the real beauty in an object and Gemma comes along with her bloody emulsion and pastel colours and spoils it. The beautiful old dolls house, Georgian looking house with old furniture. They had so many lovely wooden models and she painted them. MY GOD my mum did that in the 1960s and ruined so many antiques. At least they had an excuse it was after the war and they wanted colour because the conscription furniture was so dull. Anyway him and Henry have me in stitches. I've loved Simon since he was on Brookside and to see him do well with property and so on is a joy. Sadly Gemma looks like 1980s Debbie who was Simon's love interest when they were together in Damon and Debbie. So there! Tell us if it comes back with these lot make sure she's not let loose on something like that again. She is so selfish she wanted it how she liked it and took about a grand off the value. She's done it loads. They make mistakes that's the fun but she needs to stop it. Oh and I'm an artist too a real one so I know what I'm talking about LOL.
A really nice watch. Not top level restoration but some great ideas and the presenters make it more entertaining. With money warned often going to good causes, what's not to like?!
