Review by jehorth

Why would anyone bring anything precious to be "upcycled" (destroyed!) on this hideous show? The transformations wrought on their objects are nothing short of butchery - ludicrously conceived and clumsily executed, often with scant regard for the history or intrinsic worth of the items - beautiful longcase clock, for example, had its guts ripped out and was turned into a light. Often the new creations are hideously ugly - chairs made from old bicycles and so on. The makers lack personality as cast members (and that metalworker seriously needs to be introduced to a comb!) and the presentation is dull. Ghastly all round.
