The final series was the eleventh and contained 90 episodes, in one of two formats—either 30 or 45 minutes in length. It aired on both BBC1 and BBC2. The show also airs on Saturday mornings on RTÉ One in Ireland.[1] BackgroundThe show is based on the concept of housing programmes such as Location, Location, Location. The idea is to try to find a house for the participants and allow them to test it out before deciding if they want to put in an offer for the house. FormatThe episodes follow a set pattern. After introducing the prospective buyers and their idea of an ideal home, including location, features and price range, each of the two presenters selects a property they feel fits that ideal. A third property, the so-called 'wild card', may not fully fit this wish list, but is believed to be adequate by the presenters. The prospective buyers are then given the opportunity to inspect each property, discussing its flaws and merits with the presenters before guessing the property's price. They are then allowed to choose one property for an in-depth 'try before you buy' segment, where they can test drive the property more leisurely. A 'mystery' surveyor often then looks at the property and finds some defects, which are then communicated by the presenters. The episode concludes with a final conversation with the prospective buyers, asking them whether they are in fact interested in purchasing the property. PresentersThroughout the programme, both presenters engage in mildly disparaging yet good-natured banter, both among themselves and with the participants.{{citation needed|date=August 2010}} The final presenters were Jenny Powell, Simon O'Brien, Rani Price, Garold Howesington and Ed Hall.{{citation needed|date=August 2010}} The original presenter teams was Dominic Littlewood with Kristian Digby, who were joined by Sarah Walker at the end of the first series,{{citation needed|date=August 2010}} as 10 hour-long 'specials' were made, with Walker doing makeover on the contributing couples' house as they househunted with Digby and Littlewood.
