House of the Year on Ch4

Did anyone watch House of the Year on Ch4 last night? Kevin McCloud revisited the Rusty House. Sadly it didn�t get through to the shortlist - wrongly in my opinion as it is a far more interesting and innovative design than the two houses that were shortlisted. I feel Lewes was shown in a poor light due to that crazy ex mayor popping up on the show and giving her ilinformed and narrow minded views on modern architecture. Taste is obviously a very personal matter but she does Lewes no favours when she presents herself as a spokesperson for architecture in the town. She�s like a snag toothed hippy version of Prince Charles meddling in town planning. Thank god she�s no longer mayor.

It's was probably booted out on account of the fact that it was built years ago, I expect they were just after an extra award to help it sell. Seeing what else is in the same price bracket (and a lot cheaper) it's no surprise the price has been reduced.
