Some viewers may know presenter and property expert Sarah Beeny from her more recent television programmes such as Sarah Beeny's New Life in the Country but property obsessed people all know that Sarah was one of the main trailblazers of the development of property television programmes decades ago.
Now television channels are awash with property programmes that feature all aspects of the subject, from house hunters looking for their next home, renovation and transformation journeys both big and small, and interior design inspiration.
But back in 2001 Sarah presented Channel 4's programme Property Ladder, which saw often hapless wannabe property developers try to work their way up the property ladder by renovating rundown properties.
