Any one see this tonight? What a load of rubbish.
You knew it was going to be a Drivel TV when you watched it, didn't
you - what were you expecting ?

Three inept DIY'ers were given a series of tasks to complete, one of
which
was removing a sink.

One hapless victim sawed into a copper pipe to find the stopcock wasn't
turned off, water gushed everywhere. The heroic & manly presenter
removed
his jacket & stepped in to save the day.

He finished cutting the pipe remarkably quickly and said to the victim
"in
my jacket pocket you will find two white plastic caps".

These turned out to be push fit stop ends, one of which he rammed onto
the
heavily painted copper pipe - and whacked down with a hammer! The leak
miraculously stopped.

I wonder how many takes they did?

At least with Barry Bucknell people stood to learn some skills.
Mmmm, like how to cover a nice panelled door with hardboard AFAICR. He had
a lot to answer for!

My mates old fella always watched him and even done what he done ie
covered the bannister rails with hardboard,covered the 1950's tiled fire
surround with boxed wood and as you said...hardboard over the panelled
doors. :-(

I remember my parents undoing a lot of these changes in houses that they
bought when I was young. At least it can be undone (by removing the
hardboard). If it's removed and thrown away then it's gone.
