My former boss (builder) was on it many years ago and was asked if he would do it again. We did some fancy, pretty cool stuff and he said hell no.
Almost everything you see is staged for the camera and troubles are 'trumped up and exaggerated'.
Still good viewing for the houses alone, just don't get sucked into the 'story' so much.
Heard a couple of the ex Builders say its impossible to build the homes properly given the time factor and access needed....
