Blimey! I’ve never even contemplated watching DIY SOS. I was totally unaware that, rather than being a shonky house makeover programme, its actually a souring example of the human spirit , and emotional roller-coaster. Every days a school day, eh?
My mates wife was a producer on it for years too. I barely even feigned any enthusiasm
I have to confess that when they did the first series of the Secret Millionaire (before it became all about the ‘Big Reveal’ at the end), I often got a slight sniffle at the totally selfless dedication of some people to helping make other peoples lives better
