Hallo George,
I'm in England. The TV programme you saw - was it about East Anglia (Norfolk, Suffolk, parts of Essex and Cambridgeshire)? Shades of orange and other pastel colours such as pink, lime, yellow and lavender, as well as white, are quite common as plaster washes on the old houses there. They also sometimes have moulded plaster features on the outside walls ("pargetting"). Not sure what you mean by "odd shape" though. Some of them have projecting upper stories ("jetties"), and can look a little "wonky", and out of true. But being mostly several centuries old, they tend to have low ceilings, usually beamed.
There is also something of a trend now for new developments in orange, perhaps the TV showed these?
