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.

I have just watched the recording of series 2 episode 16. The Harley barrels bedside lamps are the best lamps I have ever seen. If i saw them in a shop i would buy them. The military chest came out perfect too. Not sure about the lime green metal cabinet though. I love watching the shows as I have recycled a couple of items. I hope there are many more series to come. I didn't like the mirror though. Your required characters s a lot at 600. Don't
know what else to write. Why do you have to have the voice over and 'coming up' at the break. Don't need to watch to the end of the programme as you have shown the outcomes! Regards Marilyn.
I love this show! It's a very entertaining watch and some of the things they come up with are great. Henry just tends to polish up and restore old items, whilst Simon is a bit more inventive with his turning things into something different. Sometimes this works brilliantly, sometimes it fails miserably! Gemma's lovely and I do love her enthusiasm (and sometimes disdain with what Simon presents her with). But she has an hilarious penchant for absolutely ruining beautiful wooden furniture by painting it in a variety of shocking pastel colours!! Brilliant! Love the programme!
Lovely girl but ruins everything by painting beautiful wood in bilious colours. I wouldn't give her anything to upcycle. Ruined so many lovely things, particularly that old doll's house. Simon is brilliant and I like about 95% of his work. Henry focused too much on cars, bikes and tractors although I like what he does with things like old signs, petrol cans, etc. . Would love to see some old sofas and old chairs reupholstered and brought back to how they were originally. If I wanted wood painted in awful colours I would go to ~Ikea. I also cannot believe what they say they sell the items for. Most of them I wouldn't pay a fraction of the cost on.
