Home TV show of the year
Ha Ha! Did you see it? A gen-u-ine TV interiors joy. No, not Philippe Starck doing his best Alan Sugar. Not Kevin or Phil or Kirsty. I’m talking about Monday night’s episode of Mary Queen of Shops, featuring furniture shop Under The Moon. Run by hippies-in-aspic Dazzle and Denny (really), it was a horrific house of horrors – tarot-reader chic meets cut-price show home. Only not that nice. If you missed it, suggest you get over to the BBC i-player, and enjoy the tour of their own fabulously expressive house.
Anyway, Dazzle and Denny pulled it together in the end, with Mary’s strident help, but not before we’d had the fun of them being presented to Abigail Ahern, who was remorselessly polite despite being clearly mystified. And then a trip to the offices of Elle Deco, where the immaculate editor filled them in on what interiors trends they’d missed in the last 30 years. Want to see the end result?

Its the highlight of Monday evenings.
The baker is still the worst yet!
