Review of Money for Nothing

A fool and his money are soon parted and that certainly is repeatedly the case in this series. While the idea of recycling items which otherwise would go for landfill is laudable, the whole thing is frankly pitiful since the so-called experts are often mainly bodge artists who do not know how to use tools properly (and often dangerously), manage to charge ridiculously high prices which are rarely negotiated and the finished products can be so bizarre that the fact that they are sold for absurdly high prices is barely credible.

I get the feeling that many people on the programme find it hard to hide their embarrassment in being involved with it.

Arthur Smith is an odd choice for doing the voiceovers and is usually given a very corny script but I guess he's (quietly) laughing all the way to the bank.

I really can't see how this got past a pilot episode.
