Homes Under Hammer

Pluto TV's Homes Under Hammer channel runs a single UK property renovation series on loop, and somehow it's hypnotic. Each episode follows bargain hunters buying fixer-uppers at auction, then racing against budgets and deadlines. The format hasn't changed in two decades: damp survey, optimistic cost estimate, last-minute disaster. Yet the repetition is the point. There's comfort in knowing exactly what happens at minute 45. British presenters Martin Roberts and Lucy Alexander (and later, Dion Dublin) maintain a cheerful, never-cynical tone, even when a roof collapses. The channel's programming is pure schedule-filler; no breaks for original content or specials. Just back-to-back episodes from seasons 15 through 22. Video quality varies, some episodes look like they were digitized from VHS, but that adds to the charm. For fans of property porn or anyone who finds home improvement hypnotic, it's easy to lose an afternoon. Not for the impatient. But if you ever wondered what happens after the auctioneer's gavel falls, this is your endless replay of answers. Homes Under Hammer live on Tvivu offers a slice of British telly that feels both dated and timeless, a loop you might never want to leave.
