Advantages: seeing the surprised victims
Disadvantages: Too much MDF
The Format; Take two sets of neighbours who want to make over a room each. Assign a mad designer to each room. Provide a budget of £500 Let the neighbours help out in the other home. Keep everything top secret from the home's owner. Await the looks of disgust or delight from the owners faces. Part of the enjoyment of this programme is pre-empting the result of putting lime green or orange paint all over the walls of some ones living room, or being amused by the number of things that can be made very cheaply from MDF. Many of the presenters are very flamboyant in their designs, and there naivete is counteracted by the more down to earth handy man "Handy Andy" and the charms and practicalities of Carol Smilie, the presenter. The neighbours or "victims", have only themselves to blame as they must realise what they have let themselves in for. At the end of the day it is only one room that has been changed and it wouldn't take that long to make over again. Changing Rooms has become very popular and always attracts huge audience figures it is the sort of TV show that once you start watching you have to watch to the very end to see the changed rooms and the surprised homeowners.
