Oh, you came back for another week.
So, just to start off – DIY SOS stands for Do It Yourself Souls Of Sorrow.
So, just to start off – DIY SOS stands for Do It Yourself Souls Of Sorrow.
It’s a show on BBC 1, which well, you can probably work it out from the title. They go around to people houses and make a room look all lovely, which the owners tried to do themselves.
BUT, there is a condition. You need to have had a terrible accident or a disability.
Years ago, they used to be for common folk, but now they go for the sympathetic letters of sorrow. It makes good telly and it is a for a good cause, I agree.
But next year people will be writing to them asking them to finish the painting because they have no money left to buy another tin of paint due to the credit crunch.
Also, like all TV these days, a lot of it is faked. You can bet your life on something going wrong, which means they might not get it finished in time. A gas leak for example, or the walls not being stable enough or maybe someone hitting their thumb with a hammer. This week, their van got ‘stolen’, or at least that’s what they said anyway.
You probably could argue that it is a Sitcom in some manners. They make reoccurring jokes, they have a problem which is solved by the end of the programme and it’s very stereotypical to builders. I do like it though, no matter what you want to call it. A documentary, sitcom, soap, reality TV or whatever, I still like it.
And Nick Knowles. He is a good presenter and can be funny, sure, but hasn’t he got a razor?
Who wants to help me raise money to buy Nick Knowles a razor?
Anyone?
