Hammer time

Homes Under The Hammer - good grief this is a terrible programme.

It's not Kirsty & Phil style property porn, nor even Sarah Beeny's Property Ladder. It just follows houses bought at auction, and sees what the potential landlords have done.

That isn't my problem with it - it's the terribly obvious music cues.

"It's like stepping back on time" - cue Kylie Minogue "Step Back In Time"

A property has a broken window - cue Nick Lowe "I Love The Sound Of Breaking Glass"

"And when complete, it will be beautiful!" - cue James Blunt "You're Beautiful"

The presenter can smell something - cue XTC "Senses Working Overtime"

Make it stop.

And the people buying the houses are invariably arses.
