So many TV programme on Houses - so very many.

BBC 1.
'Homes under the Hammer'
People buy below par properties at auction - renovate them - by painting them beige.

Channel 4.
Property Ladder.
Bossy posh woman visits people renovating their homes (people who've always got more money than sense) berates them a bit. One last visit - they've painted everything beige. Posh woman then congratulates them on their supreme good taste in beige.

Five.
Put your money where your house is.
A team of people go into someone's home, and paint everything beige.

House Doctor.
Bossy Californian woman Ann Maurice comes into people's homes - dresses everything to look like it's a hotel room. Paints everything beige.

Seriously - you can easily spend a whole day's TV viewing looking at beige room after beige room after beige room after beige room.

WTF is going on? Have paint manufacturers suddenly stopped making any other colours of paint? What's with the severe chromophobia? Why do so many people want to live in glass of Bailey's - or baby sick? When is it going to end?
