Where are Catherine and Nick?
I loved every episode of Escape to the country with Catherine & Nick as hosts. Then came a new woman host, and I am sorry to say, I don't watch this show anymore because of her. I'm sure she is the nicest person but this show is about sitting down and relaxing while exploring the english countryside and houses with lots of period features, low ceilings, wonderful gardens, door latches and both wonderful and sometimes gastly interior design. With Catherine & Nick, you felt your hosts were genuinely interested in the quirkyness of the houses and most important of all, they both made you RELAX and enjoy an hour of peace. The new host however, rushes through the house and manages to make everything stressful. All that she asks is: what is this? What is that? and then tells you there is a bathroom here and a bedroom there, before we rush onto the next room. Again, I'm sure she is the nicest person and I think she would be a wonderful host in a show like house invaders or trading places, but for escape to the country, she comes off too stressful. This show is about trying to take you away from the stressful city life, to the more peaceful country side. In order to achieve this, the host can not be an obvious city person who runs through life at a higher pace than that in the country. So I ask again: where are Catherine & Nick? Give the new host a "city show" where I think she'll be great. And then bring back Catherine & Nick. Please? Where are Catherine & Nick?
