Season 1

A look at couples with incompatible taste: Matt cannot abide Marie Louise's large wooden pig in the living room, while Sue has quietly removed Gary's mug tree.

Alan's place is a tip, Madeline has fallen in love with her wallpaper, Russell buys all the latest gear, and Michelle has a leopardskin bedroom but doesn't want men to get the wrong idea.

Nicole finds her mother's ornaments tacky, Peggy won't use her daughter's gold taps, and Pat is mortified to discover her tastes are now identical to her mother's. Mothers and daughters say what they really think about each other's living rooms.

In matters of taste, almost anything goes in Britain so long as it's old. The problem for householders is which version of oldness to choose. Does it matter if you cheat?

Terry and Sue quite like Austrian blinds but feel they're common. And just why do Ray and Jane change their three-piece suite twice a year?
