redfiona99Laurence Llewellyn Bowen once again steals a show.
There's a programme on BBC 2 called Restoration - basically Building Idol. Anyway, he's the name promoting this one building called Llanelli House.
The celebrity has to do a speech about why to support their chosen building. Of course normally these are lousy (the best before tonight was Richard E. Grant championing Victoria Baths in Manchester)
Anyway so Laurence makes two sane reasonable points about why we should vote for Llanelli House, and then he comes out with this (or more or less this) - "And the last reason why you should vote for this building is because if you don't, I will buy it, paint it purple, cover the roof with bright pink fur and sell it to Kylie Minogue for £65 Million."
Very funny man. I mean I was probably going to vote for that anyway, but it may have swung my vote.
Actually, one of the co-presenter/expert types, called Ptolemy Dean, is almost out-Laurencing Laurence at times. He's crazy but fun. And really, don't even get him started on town redevelopments of the 1960s-70s.
I'll stop rambling now.
