KIRSTIE and Phil are back and Wednesday's viewing now has some purpose.

Yes, the dynamic duo of the property world came back on our screens with a bang last night facing not one but two hopeless househunters.

First there was Adam who claimed to have looked at 500 flats and yet still hadn't found the right one and then Emma and John who seemed quite happy to leave the decision making process to their three-year-old.

What sets Location, Location, Location apart from most property programmes is the relationship between the presenters.

Kirstie Allsopp looks as though she has been transported in from Carnforth Station and Brief Encounter while Phil has come staight from Albert Square. As unliklely double acts go, they are one of TV's finer creations.

Just like Donny and Marie all those years ago, she's a little bit country and he's a little bit rock and roll.

The good thing about them is that they are not afraid to moan about the people they are trying to help.

You actually want the househunters to be pretty hopeless.

An irate Kirstie is a fearsome sight indeed.

She tends to treat indecisive househunters rather like the school matron would approach a pupil feigning illness to try and get out of cross country.
