An athlete - born to run

All the walls in a house were stained brown with nicotine and they played Golden Brown by The Stranglers.

'Football crazy, football mad' for someone who mentioned he supported man u.

'Hanging on the telephone' someone who bought a telephone exchange.

Our House -Madness, for the house in the middle of the street

Why was the house guide price £10k more than the going rate? The Seeker by the Who.

I've always found this aspect amusing and it's one reason I've watched this show on and off over the past 3 or 4 years.

If anyone is called Trevor they ALWAYS play Clever Trevor

Some of them are rather tenuous. I remember a programme when a cat came into shot, totally irrelevant to the scene, prompting them to play 'Year of The Cat'.

I love spotting the literal Homes Under The Hammer music choices too!

'Rip it up and start again' when there's a drastic renovation needed.

I always feel the auction room music seems a bit incongruous - it reminds me of the music in the nightclub scene in 'Blade'.

I like the estate agent music.:)

When someone talks about there being a good opportunity to make a lot of money on the property, Pet Shop Boys - Opportunities (Let's Make Lots of Money).

Todays one had another outing of Our House-Madness for a terraced house.
And when the bloke said his wife was pregnant we had Justin Bieber - Baby....

It's Level 42 Running in the family.

Love the fact that they play relevent songs also whoever picks the music is obviously an Elvis FAN.

On a mute point - I'm getting those black tiles that they put in the flat in Wembley today - very pleased with my choice, hope they look as good in my kitchen lol

I heard one of best yet today.

One of the developers featured had 'improved' the garden by covering the whole thing with gravel. Shots of the end result were accompanied by 'Gravel Pit' by Wu-Tang Clan.

Lucy Alexander and Martin Roberts are great presenters.
the music is always so literal.

Every so slightly OT. Is it a new series that's being shown at the moment on BBC1 in the mornings? Thanks.

ProgRocker · 15/03/11 - 20:48

If the new owners decide to do a 'Kirsty Allsopp' and knock some walls down they play 'Walls Come Tumbling Down!' by the Style Council. :rolleyes:

"Somethin for your mind, your body and your soul!"
<cue the acid jazz music when Estate Agents walking towards the property >
