When Alistair mentioned a holiday let, she turned up her nose and said, sounds like work, but then she wants acres and animals.

[@PatchworkUSA]

Well, to be fair, some people (like me) don't always say the right thing, especially with a camera pointing at them. She probably meant that running a holiday let is not the right KIND of work that she was interested in. I would feel the same way and I'm a very hard worker!

[@karimyazgi2196]

Sounds like the sister of that other episode where the couple was moving from London to the country and the retired couple were stoic upper lip that no houses poor Alister showed were good enough! One she liked but was put off by the treed acres because she ddnt want to RAKE all those trees in the fall

[@da__lang]

If you love animals, it doesn't feel like work to care for them.

[@karimyazgi2196]

Go and get A sniff around the outhouses”😂😂😂😂😂

[@Splash_of_Freedom]

And neither of them laughed! 🤦

[@CorwynCelesil]

That's because for British people outhouses do not mean outdoor toilets. They mean extra small buildings round about a property.

[@karimyazgi2196]

@@CorwynCelesil in this case I think Alastair meant it the American/Canadian way😂

[@kathleenmartin7498]

I always love any episode that Alistair hosts!! I could listen to him all day!!!

[@hunkhk]

And cuddle him omg he is just adorable af

[@BringANickel]

I knew the comments would be solid. 😂

[@nicoleruvalcaba3452]

Your comment was hilarious

[@KimSincox]

This one was hard to watch. Poor Alistair.

[@debrah7548]

Alistair tickled to run that train. It was so cute!

[@I.am.Michelle]

💯☺️

[@angiepetersen5610]

My favorite part!😄

[@57haldir]

They must give the tough cases to the Alistair. He saved this show.

[@judithburke1539]

She may want to consider how noisy donkeys are before choosing them for pets. It also might be a good idea for her to volunteer at a stable to get a better idea of the work involved with caring for horses morning and evening.

[@anningram9311]

Just loved Alistair playing Railwayman!

[@gulliver7419]

Could this woman get excited about anything.

[@Tatersmama101]

My first thought with the first house was it would be peaceful and quiet, as well as having a wonderful place on coffee mornings at the church, to meet new friends and integrate into the community. She didn't like the pond with the first house, worrying about her grandchildren, but seemed impressed with a lake on the 2nd property. Her husbands thoughts of the size of the land concerned her, but there's enough acreage for him to eventually build his own "personalized" workshops/ garage etc... as well as room to fence off a large area for ponies, goats, etc. But the mystery house was gorgeous - but then again, I don't mind the seclusion.

[@I.am.Michelle]

This show is a real treat for the soul! I'll be forever grateful that you're sharing this! Loved to see Alistair so excited with the locomotive in this one!☺️ My favourite was house #1! The master bedroom in house #2 though, wow!😍 The house and the land was amazing too, but SO much work! I hope they did find a perfect home in the end and she and her husband could give a home to many animals too.❤️

[@julen2380]

Jeez. The fact that husband Paul could not be there, was always mentioned as Husband Paul and she kept saying I - is there a Paul? Clearly I'm watching too many crime shows. Lol. Lovely properties but I can understand why none of them were quite right. Hope they found something nice - and if they have horses, learned inbetween that you must keep at least two of them.

[@evibertolait8262]

After watching several episodes lately I wish they would do one season with low budget houses, with some need of renovation perhaps. Watching people standing in a number of huge rooms kitchen living diner whatever for mostly just 2 people ... I really like the educational part of the show where one can get an impression of the different counties.

[@lzrd8460]

I watched a few episodes yesterday and had that same thought! Couples who have £600,000-£800,000 to buy a house, are shown houses with huge rooms & 4-5 bedrooms and say the rooms are not big enough, or the property has 1.5 acres and again, not large enough! I’d like to see an entire season of normal priced houses for ‘real’ ppl! And the prices are from 2017! What must they cost now, in 2024. 😱😱😱😱

[@amadoujallow6994]

Not surprised that Paul didn't bother showing himself.His wife wasn't really interested in any of the houses and she needed a personality transplant. Felt sorry for Alistair.

[@Tatersmama101]

I agree, but didn't have the guts to say so...lol!

[@amadoujallow6994]

​@@Tatersmama101Thanks for the laugh😂

[@conniekiers9554]

I think you've hit the nail on the head...she seems like a bore

[@hunkhk]

I give her the benefit of the doubt and just camera shy... But seriously cheer up luv

[@charmaintrout174]

Thanks for being catty for me. 😂

[@user-kp5vd1tg3r]

Beautiful places. My goodness. I hope they get one of the first two homes and she gets her animals!!

[@carloslx]

Love watching Alistair showing genuine excitement. That train ride was brilliant!

[@jaaadeee938]

Stunning coastline! Beautiful homes.

[@pamellasmith2503]

Adorable Alistair ❤️🚂

[@BritGirlJay]

Loved house 1 wouldn't even mind the chapel being that close (might change mind on a Sunday lol). Liked House 2 but that seems like a massive amount of land. Liked mystery as well. Did anyone else think the lady just seemed underwhelmed with every property? Her friend was much more upbeat. Maybe the buyer is just introverted..

[@compo1948]

Don't do that anymore Alistair!! You are too close to the edge 😂 Scaring me like that 😮

[@jomiller8887]

I feel the fun he had on the engine made up for everything!!! 😂

[@HeloisaVidigal]

Amazing moment! Happy new stage of life!❤

[@Heene1028]

I LOVE YOU ALISTAIR APPLETON ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

[@sylviawright5181]

All home's were lovely ,more for families ,lady would have been more happy if her husband had came with her ,

[@hunkhk]

He was smart to stay well out of it, I feel for him

[@amadoujallow6994]

Yes no wonder he went AWOL

[@supposedly1-2]

This one was almost painful to watch, thank goodness they want you to have two people because without Jude there'd have been no personality at all (besides Allistair ). also in the end it said it wasn't close enough to the village but didn't he say he'd rather be out in the middle of nowhere or am i getting it confused with another episode. anyway i wont watch this one again that is for sure!

[@litsci1877]

I don't understand these totally undemonstrative people who want the world. She's in an enormous house and blinking at it like one of the ponies she wants to have and is then disappointed that it's small, because somehow this is small to her.

[@carloslx]

Alistair is a saint!

[@abigailgerlach5443]

I like house #1, but I'd kill anyone ringing bells first thing in the morning! Churches certainly love their bells. House #2 - a barn conversion. It's impressive, but I wouldn't want neighbors so close. The mystery house is nice, but really large. At some point, with just two of you, the house echos. It's hard to feel cozy with that much space.

[@libbysingscontrezzo8419]

I lived near a church once, and they are NOT quiet.

[@gwenmangelson]

people dont realize that they can rent out land to farmers or ranchers for livestock and have the income and not have to deal with the land-

[@brianduffy1338]

I am appalled at the level of nastiness (unwarranted, by the way) in some of these comments. Must be nice to be such "perfect" people. FCS!

[@what-we-eat]

I can't say it enough, how gorgeous is Alistair?!?!

[@charonsherrard9348]

Lorraine and Judith are very handsome

[@pastryshack551]

House no. 3 were the most perfect, but i think the lady did not really know what she wanted. She was very slothlike in manner

[@spider46531]

She is so boring!!! Trying to draw out any exciting reactions was a trial.

[@c.t5136]

Sometimes, not often, there are people on the programme who make your toes curl - I feel positively uncomfortable watching these two. Love the houses and Exmoor though! Thanks for the upload.

[@jennyc1846]

Hanging on for dear life there Alistair, did you really need to stand so close to the edge if you don't like heights? I wouldn't have thought any less of you for sitting on a rock :) Nice first house Alistair.. but ladies.. fill in the pond? What about all of the wildlife that has been living there for 50 years??? The children will grow up and love to look for frogs etc.. get some concrete reinforcing and cover the water for heavens sake!! And you certainly wont have to worry about the cats they aren't stupid. You wont be living in the city any more.. adopt some country ways. Mmmm house no:2...are you going to drain the pond ladies??? Buy the hubby a ride-on mower he's love belting around on that... Get animals or humour the hubby... conundrum indeed. House No:3.. does this lady really want to move to the country?? Didn't she say at the start that she would have lots of visitors (60 years worth of visitors and family), yet having an annexe sounds "too much like hard work"!!...what's she going to do for the next 20 -30 years of her life???..Oh Alistair you will give this lady conniptions, first a pong, then a lake, now a river...you'll have her and her sun bronzed friend racing to catch the first bus back to London.. LOL ***Alistair Im not sure what I enjoyed more, the look on Jonnie's face when he went hang gliding or yours on the train. If I ever win lotto I will buy you your very own little steam train - your reaction was priceless. I know what you mean about the smell I love it myself. Thanks for the little side trip to Clovelly I went there in '78 when I came over to visit the rellies.. ** These ladies need to go home, there was no joy in her face at all, maybe she should have waited for her hubby to be available...

[@mpourratt]

[@conniekiers9554]

Lorraine didn't look impressed with any of the properties... no enthusiasm whatsoever..... does she really want to move to the country? I don't think so ... .she looks like an uptight bore

[@hunkhk]

Spot on, I was wondering if she had sh*t herself 😅😅😂😂

[@hunkhk]

😂😂😂🎉🎉 spot on

[@Ionavan1943]

My goodness Lorraine was a miserable lady. She has no emotions at all.

[@pearlrabbit7963]

This Woman has all the personality of a wet welk. I would be absolutely thrilled with any of these. Alistair was the only interesting thing about this episode.

[@SandiHooper]

Man, she was not giving away any freakin thing was she?! I wonder how she would have done if Jules was the presenter.

[@elizabethsonko3714]

Jules would have laughed his way through it.

[@hunkhk]

@@elizabethsonko3714 dont they vet these people beofe they come the show ha ha

[@amadoujallow6994]

​@@hunkhkThere's always some that escape through the net

[@mircetrajkov3568]

what is this handsome man's name?

[@maxpower3798]

This show has potentials; but at least spend the last part to show how these people settle in their new houses after 6 months or so. Else, meh.

[@lzrd8460]

Judith….👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼

[@micktre7608]

Judith started life as a man

[@amadoujallow6994]

​@@hunkhkThen it could be Paula

[@PatchworkUSA]

Of course you must know that Judith can read your comment. Would you say this to her face? Myself, I think she is beautiful and must have been a model when younger.
