Challenging times for Phil and Kirstie; TVChoice: LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION (Channel 4, 8pm).

THE economy is in such a dire state at the moment that when the cash machine declares "insufficient funds", you can't be sure whether it means them or you.

So, do we really need a TV programme telling us the best way to play the property market? Well, thankfully, Location, Location, Location is changing direction with this new run, and handing out vital practical advice to buyers.

In this first episode of a new series, Phil Spencer and Kirstie Allsopp are house hunting for two young couples who have fallen for Hertfordshire's charms.

Martine Wright and Nick Wiltshire met six years ago and are about to get married. However, for Martine, walking up the aisle will be special in more ways than one.

On July 7, 2005, her life was changed for-eveon the London Underground when she found herself three feet away from one of the London bombers. Martine lost both legs above the knee and spent a tough year learning to walk again. Now these nearlyweds need a home where they can settle down and raise their family.

Phil and Kirstie also meet Dina Mistry and Pradeep Patel, who are trying to escape their cramped Finchley flat.
