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!

Yup, trying to milk the public for cheap TV. In return for humiliation.

God no. Please, no more crap telly.

Are you really so bereft of fresh ideas that this is the best you can come
up with? Have you considered a "Watching paint dry" program? Or how about
a program about clueless program makers who can't come up with a single
original thought and who all get the sack? It could be a fly-on-the-wall
sort of documentary of the misery of their lives.

Never has an issue come up on this forum that is more suited to being
solved by the forceful application of an angle grinder.

Good point! Plus afterwards you get to use its second-in-command, the
pressure washer.

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.

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.

*******, you stole my idea! ;-) Although I had envisioned "the sack" as
something with more comedic value, such as being hurled among a rampant
pack* of rabid monkeys via trebuchet. Naturally, this would require
filming in the jungle, because that's more "real life".

* what is the collective term for monkeys? Obviously, I've put as much
thought into my concept as the average reality TV show maker.

I'm sure Tommy Walsh would be funnier and knows a bit about DIY.
The whole thing stinks, are they going the reconstruct the funny bits or is
it just people telling stories?
Sounds like fourth rate TV so its probably CHB.

Its a range of coemdians as the show is not just about DIY, its about
a whole range of subjects and interests, but at the moment I am just
investigating DIY stories to see if there are any interesting tales to
tell.

We have a panel of comedians to add light to the couples stories and
relationships, as its a very light-hearted comedy show for Saturday
night TV.

Yo've got a bunch of people with a colelctively wide range and depth
of expertise here telling you they could do far better. Why not ask
them what they suggest instead, you might even get something of some
value. This is primarily a knowledgable sort of place, which hopefully
you'll ahve figured from the responses so far.

Do I have any ideas? Yes, one, but I expect it would go well outside
your remit & skill set. It would however be of far more value than
what you're doing now.

I am simply looking for people who might want to take part, and up for
some fun on a light-hearted comedy show. If this doesn't interest you
then that's fair enough, if it does or you feel anyone else may want
to take part then feel free to pass on my details.

Thanks guys,

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
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?

Honestly, if that's the standard to expect, it sounds like a dreadful
yet-another-diy-disaster-show.
