3/5

Though it bears the unmistakable look of daytime-telly property porn, Kim Hopkins' documentary offers an eccentric and thoroughly English rejoinder to last year's The Queen of Versailles.

1/5

Misguided and bubble-headed documentary which frames a trifling first world problem as a tragic symptom of the banking crisis.

3/5

It is a compelling human story in which you grow to admire Helen's refusal to surrender her dream no matter how crushing the reality of their circumstances.

Touching documentary, though I wonder if they realise how completely bonkers they look to the outside world (or at least to me).
