That said all credit to Dick annd family, they are living the lifestyle not just talking about it. I would guess they are paying for the eco upgrades to their home as well, Dick winced at the cost of the solar panels they installed. Great show, a bit more useful info next time.

Strawbridge is pretty smart to get the BBC (and us license payers) to pay him to upgrade his house. Me, I'm just annoyed the BBC fell for this and wasted my money.

It's been going on for years and I'd say he's done a great job in presenting ecologically sound solutions to the general public. He also presents 'About the House', which is a bit like an environmental 'Grand Designs'. I try my best not to miss these programs whenever they're on. http://www.rte.ie/tv/aboutthehouse/index.html http://www.rte.ie/tv/ecoeye/about.html I didn’t manage to catch this program, but it sounds like they’re trying (and failing) to make a British version of the highly sucsessful Irish ‘EcoEye’, presented by Duncan Stewart (an environmentally minded architect).
