 Re: Don't Involve Yourself | |
I think the problem with broadcasters is they try to make watchable TV but sometimes forget (or choose to ignore) the real life implications of how much time it takes to do DIY and especially preperation time.
But they have a duty of care to ensure broadcasts give a realistic portrayal of the sequence of project events so the viewer is able to understand the implications of doing it .
But too often (as the article suggests) people watch a program and believe the outcome will be as simple as that shown on broadcast.
What a shame real life is not like a make-over program. It took me five years of hard graft to rebuild my home into something decent to live in. And so I know first hand just how time consuming the actual preparation of a space takes. And I am sure you do too.
The reality is people have to juggle work, children, living, holidays etc so that the number of spare hours available are very small to the average man and woman. Creating elegant spaces to live in is actually bloody hard work and TV should at least address the issue. |
