DIY SOS is on BBC One and it is a programme that i enjoy as it is about DIY and gives you some great ideas in how to decorate your home and it is now ready to start its 10th series.
DIY SOS is a show that picks someone each week that has a DIY disaster and they then go and redecorate the whole of the space whether it be a kitchen or the front room they always do a great job and give me some great ideas on how to decorate the home. Also unlike most DIY shows they have a week to do the show in so manage to do a proper job where as some shows these days have 60 minutes or something silly to try and decorate a house in, which to a high standard is impossible.

With the presenter Nick Knowles, Billy the electrican, Jules and Chris the plasterers, combined with the Irish charm of carpenter Mark no job is too big or too small. The team work really well together and after all these years still all work together and the fun they have make you enjoy the show even more.

The only disadvantage to the show these days is that they try too hard to pub some comedy sketches in although some of them are funny most of them are just terrible to watch and have you cringing instead of laughing.
