Thread: Escape to the Country

Is watching Escape to the Country just an invitation to homesickness? IMO its rose tints TV, I love it though.....

I watch it when I can, like any property show anywhere it is rose tint TV to a degree. Many of the areas they go to are just wonderful.

I think if you are the homesick type it should be avoided at all costs...I, as you know am not homesick in the slightest but watching ETTC has me longing for the green fields and cottages/pubs/atmosphere of the UK countryside and feeling quite sad that I wont get to holiday in these places any longer :(

I love the show but it looks idyllic as there are no cars parked in the villages or near the houses they visit. Now we know what its like in a village in the country on a Sunday wall to wall cars lol. In fact when we were over there we stayed away from pretty places on the weekend.

I suppose it's a little like Wanted Down Under for the Brits, they make Oz look like paradise when really it's only Cairns that is paradise
If all of the UK was how they show it then I could be tempted, but the weather would have to be 25 degrees all year round.

Never heard of the show but probably wouldn't be broadcast here

You cant beat a lovely evening in a country pub , enjoying the beer garden

Yeah, right. That pic very obviously was not taken in an English Pub Beer Garden. Not unless the pubs have suddenly started selling full bottles for consumption on the premises? You might fool some people, but you're not fooling me with that one.

Don't worry he doesn't fool anyone
