message: Good addition Chris. By the way, does anyone know the name of the theme tune from this show? It's a classical piece with harps playing. -- Drumnbach 12:45, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

message: I saw an episode of Grand Designs featuring two projects being undertaken by Damien Hirst and his partner - yet there doesn't seem to be a record of this episode anywhere. Was this a one-off special?

message: Having just purchased Series 3 on DVD I see that there is a 'missing' episode when compared to the list here, specifically the 'inverted V roof, Cloud 8'. There are only 7 episodes on the DVD set as opposed to 8 for series 1 and 2. Any thoughts? Gaunt 14:59, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

message: We're trying to get planning permisssion for a contemporary eco-friendly house in the New Forest.  The local planners are very reactionary (OK if you want to build a replica thatched cottage etc)so any precedents for contemporary houses in the area are very helpful.  I found a transmission of 10 March 2004 of a house made up of three separate but linked buildings, including a tower, each painted/stained different colours to reflect the landscape.  However I caught the last part of an episode recently, but don't know if it is a re-run or not.  The owners were building a house inspired by their travels in the Far East, particularly Japan.  It had chunky Douglas fir columns and was set off the ground on low stilts.  Did anyone out there see this and can you let me have the transmission date?  Apparently you can look at old transmissions in the BFI archive if not available anywhere else.  Neither of these projects seem to be on Wikipedia or the official site.  Any help greatly appreciated.

message: Why has 3/4 of the article just disappeard? User Pmumford87 seems to have (accidentally) removed everything below the background info. Unless a good reason can be given for doing so (and there is none in the edit history), shall revert back soon.--Sqrnookle (talk) 05:46, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  What on earth? 

message: I added the revisited episodes as listed on BFI inside the seasons, and one outside, but didn't continue the numbering. I've only recently been able to record the repeats on more4, so don't know enough about the show or this page to make fundamental changes like that.
Is there a particular reason to continue the numbering of the episodes, instead of just numbering them per year? ACookr (talk) 01:17, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

message: Casual viewer here. Why on earth is the presenter so continually negative and pessimistic? Is it part of the show's premise that he is the eternal pessimist?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 125.238.23.245 (talk) 06:39, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

message: The episode of Grand Designs featuring the "Chilterns Watermill" - first broadcast on Channel four at 9pm on the 4th February 2009 has been the subject of much discussion on various internet forums.
