In the September 2006 edition of AXM he appeared nude for charity. Digby presents or presented the following morning TV BBC shows; "Open House" - Along with his team, Kristian makes over properties that are not selling through the traditional estate agent route, after the make over they host an open house for possible buyers. "Buy It, Sell It, Bank It" - The show follows two property developers at a property auction, the winner is followed for the rest of the show as he or she alters the house. The loser at the auction gives his or her thoughts of the improvements at the end of the show. "To Build or Not to Build" - In 2008 Digby decided to build his own house, designed by Neu Architects.[5] The BBC decided to follow this and also draw in other people who have done something similar with Digby interviewing them. The premise is similar to Channel 4's Grand Designs, but on a smaller scale. [edit] References
