60 Minute Makeover

Having been off sick from work recently and stuck in front of daytime TV unable to move I flicked the remote onto a channel aclled sixty minute makeover to see what it was about. At first I assumed it must be a cosmetics programme, as I thought there was no way a house can be decorated in sixty minutes, but no, I was wrong, this is a programme whereby a room of a house is made over in 60 minutes, yes thats right, a whole hour! To be on the programme you have to be nominated by someone. On the few I have seen it is always someone down on their luck, just like most reality TV shows.... The person who nominated them walks around the house ...  Read the complete review

I work part time from home and have 2 small children too so am at home most of the time, and occassionally when I cant be bothered to turn over the channel I get stuck with "60 Minute Makeover" I have Sky Plus with all the channels too but sometimes I just settle for this, as its easy viewing while writing my reviews or looking after the kids. It's something you dont have to concentrate on. ***What Happens?*** Normally a family member will write into 60 Minute Makeover and ask for the makeover team to come in and decorate, but get this! In just 60 minutes! Now you can imagine the chaos. The people that are generally chosen to ...  Read the complete review

I have had the priveledge of a weeks holiday from work last week so took my time to....catch up on daytime telly! You all know from all the other reviews what it's about so will just put in my tuppence worth. Very occasionally, they do a lovely job of the makeovers on this programme.

However most of the time the quality or design has just been disgusting, I refer to an oldish one I saw on Living the other day and they started painting the kitchen red, realised it was an horrendous job, got some more red to paint over the original red and left the bottle green tiles all the way around the kitchen, so ...  Read the complete review

If you have never heard of 60 minute makeover, it is a daytime home makeover show that has been running on ITV since 19th April 2004. The show concentrates on completely decorating four rooms in a house in 60 minutes. There is usually a large team of around twenty of more people involving designers, builders, carpenters working in the house during the 60 minutes. I dont think it is very realistic as when you are decorating your own house you are likely to only have one or two people decorating it at any one time and would never be able to get it done within 60 minutes! In the first series of the show, six rooms in each house were ...  Read the complete review
