On last night's "Property Ladder' the delectable Sarah Beeney once again attempted to steer a hapless amateur developer away from disaster.
Her subject this week was George, a businessman who recently acquired a property in the Middle East. He told Sarah he was hoping to refurbish the property before selling it on and had budgeted about $3 billion to, "do it up a bit." Typically, Sarah informed him his plans were, "on the optimistic side" and attempted to disuade him from putting laminate flooring down in Tikrit.
But half the fun of Property Ladder is watching Ms. Beeney offer her advice and see these would-be experts completely ignore her. Sarah warned George against gutting the property before he started. "You know, sometimes it's best to leave basic infrastructure in tact," she warned as George brought in the company of Cheney and Rumsfeld to demolish the interior.
Needless to say, Sarah's protests were ignored, and Cheney managed to cut off the electricity, while Rumsfeld connected the water supply to the sewage intake.
Meanwhile, time was running out. George had originally planned to complete the renovation in just six months, meaning that he had now overrun by about 2 years and $250 billion. Sarah just rolled her eyes as the boys headed off to B&Q in a desperate attempt to install a democracy feature. An estate agent was brought in to judge the value of the property, but unfortunately his head was cut off before he could complete his assessment.
