Richard Osman spots perfect estate agency name on BBC's Homes Under the Hammer

Richard Osman pointed out the perfect name while watching Homes Under the Hammer.

The episode of the home improvement show, on BBC One, showed Martin who was looking at a one-bed flat in Rotherham. It also featured Martel who took a look around an end-terrace home in Gateshead.

But it wasn't the buyers that grabbed Richard's attention. The former Pointless co-host instead noticed the estate agency's name.

Taking to Twitter he pointed out the ironic name to his 1.1million followers. He wrote: "They've just had an estate agency on #HomesUnderTheHammer called 'Brixanne Morter'."

The name was a play on words of "bricks and mortar" - a saying often used to refer to a home. His fans found it hilarious and took to the comments to share similar experiences of "perfect" names.

Lloydie said: "An Irish dentist: Phil McAvity." Matt said: "There was a Seymour & Selmore in York many years ago."

Steve said: "Do they use Sue, Grabbit and Runne as their solicitors?" Meanwhile, another user said: "Local tree surgeon called Copse and Loggers."
