Loved the programme - there was such joy positively exuding from every moment.
I know we whinged (ok I did) about stuff a bit, but yes it was amazing. I met some really cool people - I give you HeidiL - had a ball, and of course met the lovely Mr May himself
No, nothing at allSo that's nothing to do with a certain J. May and the vast amount of free publicity that's been given to Lego throughout the year, then?
I had her pegged the moment I saw her.
Told you I was impossible to miss
OzGirl, HeidiL -- great job, guys! You came off as totally committed brickheads. I thought the designer was a bit flaky though (kinda reminded me of Jane (Mad) Freud), although I did like some of her designs. And Vic seemed a bit ofan unknown quantitya two-faced self-aggrandizing spanner.
FTFY He sucked up James' arse at Mach 10 when he was there, then would tell groups of the public that James didn't do any work and that when he did Vic "had to fix it". He said he was only joking but kids wouldn't get that, and we didn't think it was very funny. He was also hateful to GabrielleChurchill, who worked her arse off too.
Loved the design of the house, loved watching the community brick build and found myself totally caught up in James' infectious enthusiasm. My only nitpick (a minor one) would be not seeing more of the finished house and perhaps James' impressions the day after. Would've been nice to have seen some of the Lego volunteers at the housewarming too.
There was one there, but she's not on here.
This whole series has been fantastic, but this Lego episode really kept me entertained the whole time through.
I think the best part had to be Oz coming back to James in his house in the middle of the vineyard. Seeing him go from vine to vine tasting grapes was just hilarious. I really love when two completely different shows link each other like that. Every time James kept breaking something as he sat on it was also equally hilarious.
This series really shows how great of a presenter James is on his own.
Yup, this and the Hornby ep are great for having Oz and James together. Oz and Hugh just didn't work for me.
For those who don't have the DVD the Hornby ep is brilliant, even though most of us know what happened it's still great.
