Going round the houses

ON THIS week's INTERIOR DESIGN MASTERS WITH ALAN CARR (BBC1, 8pm), the contestants have a bunch of retirement flats to tart up.
Michelle Ogundehin, resident judge, puts it more eloquently than that, but essentially that's what the brief amounts to.
"I'd like you to use these high-end show apartments to demonstrate just how exciting retirement could be as a next chapter in life," are Michelle's actual words.
"Design should be luxurious," she goes on, "to attract the sort of buyer that wants a home that reflects those aspirations."
She does have a point, to be fair. If ever my wife and I go property-hunting, one of the first things we explain to the estate agent is: "We want a home that reflects our aspirations to be excitingly retired in our next chapter."
