DIY Enthusiasts/DIY Disasters Couples- New Primetime Saturday NightComedy Show
Hello guys,
Don't wanna take up too much space, but thought I'd let you know about a new primetime ITV Saturday night comedy show that I'm working on that needs couples to take part, and at the moment I'm looking for couples who have small minor tiffs or disagreements about DIY. It can be about anything, such as one partner who secretly makes DIY adjustments without telling the other, or they think they are much better than they actually are, or even people that want to make extreme changes to their home that the partner doesn't agree with. It doesn’t matter how small or ridiculous the issue may be – it could be an annoying habit, a strange hobby, or something silly that they just always argue about. Our celebrity comedy panel will watch each couple in action, listen to both sides of the story, and then ultimately decide who they think is right, and who is wrong. This is the chance for partners to finally get your own way on an issue that’s been driving them mad! We filmed a pilot of this show earlier in the year, and our comedians included Jack Dee, Jo Brand and Sarah Millican. If you think this is you, or could be a couple you know please pass along the details and get them to get in contact with us. It would be a really fun experience and we would cover travel fees for anyone involved as well as compensation for their time. Feel free to contact me on if you'd like any more information or an application form. Or give us a call on our hotline on 0333 577 7772. Thanks! |

Tim Just to be clear the programme will feature a variety of different couples with funny and amusing stories to tell about their relationships, I am just looking for any interesting DIY stories out there that couples may have, and thought this would be an interesting forum to find them. It is not our intention to humilate anyone, but simply have fun with the couples and the comedy guests. If it doesn't sound like your thing than fair enough, but we think it would be great fun to take part in, and any couples will be compensated for their time. Dan |

Hi Dave, The focus of the show is ont he couples, and the small funny tiffs they may have about a variety of topics, not just DIY. The comedy panel will be offering their views on whatever the topic maybe and having a laugh with the couple about these small obsessions, hobbies or quirks. We will provide travel, accomodation and money for the time used for each member of any couple we use. Dan |

drugs began to take hold. I remember TVCouplesShow saying something like: We filmed a pilot of this show earlier in the year, and our comedians included Jack Dee, Used to be funny. Jo Brand Dreadful auld bag. and Sarah Millican. Never heard of her - was she on the Wright Stuff about a year ago?

I vaguely remember a TV programme where professionals watched
reality-ish DIY programmes and commented on where everybody was going wrong. The only bit I remember was something along the lines of: no! take the socket off /before/ you tile the wall! or summat. Probably never got past the pilot because it was too sensible. JGH |

or take apart some bit of electrical equipment not designed to be repaired and repair it. Such as a TV? Whilst it's plugged in? Extra points for use of tongue. (Someone made a great point the other day about things that carry "no user-servicable parts" warnings: once it's broken, you can't use it and therefore can't be a user, so the warning labels are irrelevant) Nor do I mean programmes where the original idea gets swamped by media luvvies who want to make it "more exciting" like Robot Wars. The rules in that are so skewed that I threw away the plans I had for a rather nice entry - you're not allowed to damage the house robots, for example, but they're allowed to trash you. Yes, been there myself... the rules were so specific that it prevented many of the things that would have made it far more interesting as a science/technology show. More Ray Mears, less Brer Grills. My wife flies into fits of rage whenever she sees Bear on TV :-) Sadly they don't show Ray this side of the Pond - I remember him being very good. There's some Canadian (I think) guy who's quite reasonable - name eludes me right now. His ego's a little large, but he does convey useful info - unlike Bear, who seems to be entirely "hey, look at me!" More Great Egg Race, less Robot Wars. More real, less "reality". Sadly there seems to be a belief amongst most programme makers that you can't be entertained by TV while using your brain at the same time. :( cheers Jules |

The lowering of education standards affect everyone in ways that weren't dreamt of when they decided everyone could(should) pass A levels. |
