As I work from home, I sometimes have the television on in the background. Whilst some programmes are mind numbingly boring and worthy of the daytime drivle title. However there is one show, that I find very intresting and that is 60 minute makeover. This show which is shown weekdays on Itv1. Is has been running for quite a few years. Whilst the presenting format has changed dramatically of late. The general plot of the show is exactly the same. The remit of the show is that a designer will visit the home of the unsuspecting owner. The family or friends will have written in asking for a makeover. The designer, along with the army of decorators that come with ...  Read the complete review

This programme has been aired for quite a long time, 2004 to be exact. I actually have seen it with Its former TV host Claire Sweeney & Terri Dwyer. Now it only appear to be introduced by a voice over presenter and guest interior designer. The idea of the programme is to give a house makeover in just 60 minutes. They only have a whole hour to redesign and work on it. Quite cheeky and impossible to do but that's how the programme works. MAKEOVER To be part of the programme, Someone like family or friends have to be nominated by anyone they knew. The person who make the nomination will have to decide and give introduction on what they prefer. Then ...  Read the complete review

Whilst channel-hopping on Sky I found '60 minute makeover' which surprised me because I expected to see a person, rather than a house being made-over! It's one of those series that I consider to be fairly entertaining but wouldn't be too upset if I missed a viewing now & again. I believe it's been aired since 2004 & was originally fronted by Claire Sweeney (oh, I miss Brookside) & now by Terri Dwyer. The idea is to makeover 4 rooms (at least in the programmes I've watched) in a house in 60 minutes. The house (& owners) have been nominated by friends/ family as being in need of a re-vamp. The householders are allowed to pop stickers ...  Read the complete review

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
