Escape to the Country Season 17 Episode 50: Shropshire (2016) | FULL EPISODE 

Alistair saves the show. He's a genuine pleasure to watch, how he interacts with the guests, even complicated ones.

It never ceases to amaze me that there are so many stunning properties on offer in the UK. A small country with so much to offer! Can't wait to visit Shropshire for the first time this coming summer.

Wow, this couple... had a lot of I and me and my and she didn't have a wish but a demand list. This was somewhat painful to watch and I mostly did for Alistair.

Love the couple- as set as she was on what she liked, she was also open to change! And Alistair is delightful.

I'm from Colombia which is fairy similar to Brazil, I've been to Brazil as well, and we have extremely similar architecture; so when she mentioned what she expected from a house, I understood what she meant because I felt the same way coming to the UK the first time; however, I've learned to love the difference and now I really like the quirkiness and different rooms of England houses, it's very charming and cozy and it works perfectly for the weather. I especially like the architecture of Scotland.

Yikes. She's frightening! Second house was lovely.

This woman going on "my son", "my children"... it's never about them as a couple, it's only about her. Dreadful self-centred behaviour.

I wonder what the prices are now in 2024. Are there new episodes? Wish I could move to the UK , it is so beautiful!

Painful wife……. Well tried husband already henpecked into silence… A medal for Alistair 🥇

Poor guy , going to be difficult to watch , except I love Alistair , so I’ll try to grin and bare it

Wow! She's the boss! Viewers could tell! 😮😅

That mystery castle! Four floors & all I can think about is the cost of heating it! And dragging my old butt up & down four floors …plus the basement! Lovely, interesting but soooo not practical. 😞😞😞😞

Such a good episode, fun.

”I’m the Boss here” and “I can feel it’s not for US” That lady seems like a real piece of work 🤨

As soon as I saw the staircase, I wondered how much the electric bills were in the mystery house.

That was fun! I'll take the Mystery house! 🏰

24:35 wow she right away spoke for her husband.

This lady should have a house built where and how she wants...

Liked house 1 - not what they wanted though. Liked 2, didn't love it. Mystery - crazy lol I did like it though. I think their best bet would be a full on barn conversion or new build. These really old houses are most often NOT open plan downstairs.

I totally love this lady Brazilans are so charismatic and warm. I hope they found what they were looking for. She was clear on wanting extra bathroom, im totally with her. Couldn't live without extra bathroom

Loved all the houses, but she needs to loosen up a bit. You have to compromise as never going to get everything you want.

When they are only showing people 3 houses, you would think they'd get the match better! Children 9 and 11 are not going to work out in a a house where 2 bedrooms are up one stairway and 2 are up another. They need a house where all the bedroom are off the same hallway!

The first place would work well. If you're worried about what the kids are doing while you're in the kitchen, then put a TV in that dining area, and they'd be right there with you. Or have them sit at the table doing homework or art work while you cook. They can do something besides sit in the living room to watch tv, can't they?

Oh, but house 3 has a microwave

House 2!

Unable to watch this because of the woman, love Alistair

What's the catch? How come this is cheaper then the others?

So why wouldn’t you find a good school for your children BEFORE looking for home. That seems insane to me

I can sure see how Britain made a mess of themselves with Brexit. I’ve never been so frustrated by how many s-ist and r-ist remarks are in this thread. So unseemly.

WOW ! Miss bossy - boss ! Not an attractive quality in a person nor in a marriage !

I can see why none of these houses work. Their budget was $400,000. not $600,000. unless something very special. They weren't looking for BIG. They were looking for an open plan. Singles should not count in the number of bedrooms because no child wants to be stuck in the small bedroom. The last was way too many floors. Who would want to clean all that?

All children play on bannisters. Some child will fall and die!

I think it’s ILEGAL for adverts to be so loud that they impact on your hearing in a very damaging way , these adverts are now so high they are damaging ! RU-vid should be held to account for allowing this down turn .

Ignoring the brief pretty much means this program was an exercise in futility. Nothing fulfills the dream of their perfect house.

Looks like fake old house to me.
