Review

Stephen Kelly

The British housing market is an unrelenting nightmare designed to immiserate anyone who doesn’t come from inherited wealth. This is not a sentiment you often see in daytime property shows. But it is the drive behind this sharp satirical documentary, in which presenter Oobah Butler tries to get a young couple from Liverpool onto the property ladder. Butler resorts to tactics such as hypnotising an estate agent and enquiring whether a cemetery plot can be turned into a one-bedroom flat.
