I watched it on Iplayer and like you Tony was disappointed. A good pal of mine is looking into the feasibility of cutting a small lake on to his land with an entrance to the Thames. On here he wants to put 6 real floating boathouses. There's already a Spring where he wants to do and this runs from a pond into the river.

The real interesting bit for me was the first item, the Irish self build. Its a pity over here it could never happen due to PP building regs and greedy landowners.
