This must be what the people living in these homes are doing.

I could never dream of living in a property that when you walk into the bathroom you can be seen on the landing because your lazy husband has taken off the door and never replaced it.

In my mind the people that are asking for help on this programme really need to get off their backsides and get to B & Q or Homebase for a tin of paint or even ring the local brickie or odd job man (they are everywhere) and asking them to help by paying for the job.!!!

3 houses every week are up for nomination for a 1 day makeover because the wife or the husband have made a slightly large hole in the ceiling and never bothered to cover it up or have knocked down a wall between the kitchen and the outside and have left a polythene sheet instead of a wall!! are these people mad or what.

So, people then vote for the one they feel most sorry for to have a days makeover by four proffessionals.

I can see the point in some of the program as the person that has made the cock up in the first place has to stay behind to help make good, but really people do take too much on at times don't they (without knowing it)

Programme idea is OK but I still prefer the Changing Rooms and Better Homes style of a 1/2 hour programme.
