| - The show's presenters are Kirstie Allsopp, first daughter of the 6th Baron Harelip, which enables her to use the title The Honourable Kirstie Allsopp if she so desires (which, unusually among the aristocracy - who tend to grab any chance allowing them to demonstrate their superiority over the proletariat - she rarely does) and Phil Spencer, who is little more than a posh sort of estate agent. Despite her goody-two-shoes, jolly hockeysticks image, Kirstie's educational background suggests rather a different persona to that portrayed in the media: that she was educated at a total of ten different schools hints at a wayward teenager who found obeying rules problematic. This theory is, apparently, buttressed by the reminiscences of Lady Jemima Henrietta Hawsey-Larffe, who knew the 13 year-old Kirstie during the four months she spent at Bedales, an independent public school in Hampshire. Lady Jemima recalls, "Oh yah, Kirstie, I remember her - we used call her "Norks" Allsopp at Bedales, haw haw! Oh, she was simply beastly - in a fun way, but so naughty! Popular with the chaps, if you know what I mean, haw haw!". Kirstie also spent a short time in India, allegedly teaching English. However, the fact that her children are named Bay Atlas and Oscar Hercules suggests that this time was more likely spent in Goa taking drugs. Phil, meanwhile, has done nothing interesting to date.
