Compulsive hoarder on C4 now!

[M'coli]

They're uncovering stuff in his garden - what looks like a Riley and 2 other cars still partially hidden!

[TimothyClaypole]

My house looks like a "starter" version at the minute.

 

Only it's kitchen stuff not newspapers.

[Lankytim]

I can spot some Jag XJ's, a Mk10, an early Audi 100, a daimler conquest limo perhaps? The wife is worried that i'm going to end up like that

[fiatdaft]

Poor guy, even looks ill.

[M'coli]

It's on 4+1 if you've missed it - we're recording it so we can watch it later.

[Mash]

Poor chap. I sympathise with his condition and those who suffer with it. It must be very difficult to live in such conditions and I can understand the necessity to make the garden and house more hygenic etc.

 

However that rather sickly right-wing village looks like the perfect idea of hell to me and the ex-RAF type with the 'tache looks like he might still have connections you might not want to know about.... Imagine if you turned up to live there with an old car that was anything but a red MGB on wire wheels, a beige Talbot Horizon for example. Something mysterious might happen to you one night.....

[wackywacerwill]

Just finished watching this and pleased to report the feared flat beds never turned up

[autofive]

watching it on 4od now

 

this blokes a nutter....oi nutter

[kinkersaab]

WOW!

 

That village is my idea of hell, or perhaps it's just some of the people who live in it. If I did live there, that bloke Richard would be my mate.

[Vin]

I've not seen this, but from the description of the cars, there was a thread on here about this when it was reported in the Daily Heil, sorry Mail, about the residents of the village wanted him to be strung up from a lamp post for the sake of their house values etc.etc.

[RoadworkUK]

I watched this with my other half. Problem is I can actually sympathise with him re. a certain car brochure collection I may or may not posess. At least mine is (mostly) on two bookcases and I'm not trying to collect every single one ever printed in the entire world...

there's a difference between hoarding shit and hoarding shite!

[Lankytim]

Actually, I think you're right. It looks like a Majestic Major!

[Lord Sterling]

Just had a butchers at this programme. It was amazing to see the amount of stuff he has collected over 40 years. That village doesnt look exactly relaxing to live in, that bloody Major was majorly annoying, proper up own his arse.

 

It was nice though at the end to see some of the villagers turn out to help him clear up his garden, the old fella must have a garage full of cars somewhere as it seems he has inherited the lot.

 

I can kind of relate to some of what he was saying and how he felt, I've never seen so much tat but did sometimes retain struff that should have been thrown

 

I admit to a tendency to acquire things I don't need, but, usually come to the realisation that I have nowhere to put it and get rid either by selling or giving it away. I don't feel tempted to keep every cardboard or newspaper, but often find myself keeping things a bit too long thinking I will find a use for it.

 

Same here, but I guess there is a point. Sometimes you've got to be brave and make a descision to get rid of once and for all, especially when you have to keep on moving about, this has happend to me a few times.

I watched this earlier on, It was a really enjoyable show but i felt really sorry for the bloke, It wasn't until the end that he realised that he had a problem, Those fire men made me laugh, the one with the muscles was having a panic attack trying to get through the door!.

 

I'd hate to live in a village like that, full of snotty nose retired twats with nothing better to worry about then the bloody gardens in bloom show, They reminded me of the village in Hot Fuzz, "for the greater good" is properly the villages motto as well.

 

And then there was that chairman of the garden committee moaning how someone hadn't done a very good job of their weeding, if he told me that I'd find the biggest bag of crap car i could and just park it on the grass.

 

Mrs Trigger also commented how that would be be in 40 years with all the car magazines i keep buying.
