£10K Holiday Home, ITV

★★★

There appeared to be one important detail missing as Julia Bradbury explained her latest challenge last night. What will happen post-Brexit to Brits who already own or are looking to buy holiday homes in the EU?

To be fair, Julia only had around 24 minutes’ screen time. So it would have been difficult to go into such a complicated issue – particularly as much of it still depends on what kind of deal Theresa May is finally given by our old friends in Brussels.

However, with so much Brexit uncertainty in the air, this show still seemed like odd timing from ITV.

I can’t imagine many Brits are thinking about splashing out on a holiday home in Europe right now – even one as cheap as £10k.

That said, for any Brits lucky enough to qualify for another EU nation’s passport, I guess Julia’s tour around the hotspots may have offered helpful emigration ideas.

It was a confusing programme though. It felt like a snappy title in need of a stronger format. It also felt half an hour too short.

Once Julia had settled on a property in Portugal, I wanted to find out on the night whether she had made a success of it. Instead, we’ll have to wait at least another week. Even Homes Under the Hammer only makes you wait until the end of the episode.

I doubt whether the show’s other project – Julia’s pal Max McMurdo creating a mobile home from an old caravan – will have many viewers taking the red pen to their listings mag either.

The tale of Max’s renovations felt like a different show altogether. And it probably should have been.
