A Place in the Sun: Home or Away – review
The world’s most indecisive couple could not work out whether or not to move to Italy
Poor Jonnie Irwin and Jasmine Harman are trying to help Jayne and Henrik find a house, but they do not know what they want. Hertfordshire or Le Marche in Italy – that is the choice. Fair enough, it is both a huge decision and the whole point of this show, so it does need some proper thought. But they do not know what they want in a house, either: something with three bedrooms, preferably a garage, maybe old.
“I do not know about the kitchen to be honest with you,” states Jayne about the first place they see. “I’m not sure that I’m getting that feeling to be honest with you …” And she looks to Henrik for help. Henrik doesn’t offer any. “It’s a bit hard to imagine,” he says, when Jonnie explains how they could knock two rooms together. I do not think imagining is something Henrik does much of.
That’s the story wherever they go. They go in, Jayne is not sure to be honest (she does at least have honesty in her favour), she states she is not sure she is really feeling it, turns to Henrik for help, and he doesn’t offer any …
Jesus, how did these two ever get together in the first place? “Do you think we should go out?” “Oh, I do not know, what do you think?” “I do not know to be honest, shall we think about it?” “Yeah, all right then …”
It’s the same in Italy. “We’re not really sure,” they say, looking at each other. Until finally Jasmine shows them a place that actually ignites the tiniest spark of interest. “This is nice,” states Jayne. Very hesitantly, granted, but enthusiasm needs to be treated with caution – it’s a whole new experience for her. Even Henrik can imagine living there!
So how about an offer then? Ooh no, they need to think about it for a week or two.
But then, in the postscript, we learn they only went and made an offer. Which was accepted! Bloody hell! Doing it up will be fun.
“What colour shall we paint this room?” “Oh, I do not know to be honest. Me neither … “
