Changing Rooms…

I remember the heartbreaking ones more than any others. Perhaps we could offer our thoughts about tonight’s episode.

I do like the Love it or List it programme and some of the makeovers and the banter between Kirsty and Phil! It has finally got my husband thinking about what we can do to improve our house!

I'd forgotten about Handy Andy

MerylStreep

I remember one episode where handy Andy built some sort of shelf unit to display the woman’s collection of tea pots and the whole lot collapsed ?

I remember thinking at the time that the shelf would never stay up. I think the designers have these wacky ideas with no real idea of their practicality or if they are even buildable (not sure if that is a word). I think Handy Andy had to do as he was told!

I can understand some of the home owners being upset but they did sign up to be on the show

I have often wondered if, on some of the extreme ones, the BBC (or whoever it was) went back and put it back to something more acceptable to the home owner.

People wouldn't have watched if everything had been 'tastefully' done. It would have been a boring show.

I can't wait either I wonder if they'll destroy anyone's prize pottery this time? or whether they'll just stick to destroying their decor

I agree some of the rooms were dreadful. However , if you apply to be in one of these programmes then you take your chance.
I’ll be watching tonight.

I think they should revisit the homes that they ruined before, and restore them to their former ‘glory’. However, why would anyone let that team loose in their house?

With portraits of the owners in fancy golden frames?

I remember one dining room being turned into some sort of castle - and I remember swearing LLB would never enter my house

I have seen him on other programs where he isn't being so whacky and he can be both very informative and interesting . I think a lot of what he did was just for that programme.

I saw a programme on one of the arts channels where a very young LLB was talking about architecture and it was really interesting and informative. Perhaps Changing Rooms was the stat of the ritual humiliation programmes that morphed into BGT ( which I’ve never watched ) etc. I think this series will be different. I’ll still never understand the two day timescale in any of these programmes given that it takes longer than that for paint to dry! Either way I’m sure it will get me itching to get my paint brushes out again unfortunately.

mokryna have faith in us! It was a lovely programme. Occasionally it didn't work out - is all!
L LB did a memorable ( for me) room in yellow & black; an ideal haven't yet used but just might one day.
Roll on Wednesday ?

Are people purposely malicious and inconsiderate or they just don’t have taste? I have never seen this program. I like house decorating programs, maybe I should look it up on YouTube the way some of you are writing about it.

I feel a bit bad that I’m looking forward to seeing a programme to give me a distraction from all the horrible things happening in the world that will probably involve seeing people’s beloved homes destroyed. I must be a really really bad person…..

No Carol Smiley this time. Yes I'm looking forward to it too.

Oh I used to love this programme!
I remember a woman breaking down in tears at what had been done.
I wonder if they'll be a bit more gentle this time around?

I remember one poor couple asking for their newly laid wood floor not to be touched only to come back to find that L L-B had painted it in black and white squares like a giant chess board. Their looks spoke volumes.

Yes, I'm looking forward to it to ! Havn't seen LLB on tv for a while . Happy to see him back .

I am also looking forward to it. I hope the makeovers will not be as whacky as some of the originals. I remember one homeowner calling her room a tart's boudoir!
