Whilst the program is fairly easy watching and quite a nice idea that's fine lots of old junk and do it up and flog it.
The biggest issue for me is awful narrator it's virtually unlistenable having someone shouting for the entire program.
Please get a new narrator and make it more enjoyable to watch.

Lovely girl but ruins everything by painting beautiful wood in bilious colours. I wouldn't give her anything to upcycle. Ruined so many lovely things, particularly that old doll's house. Simon is brilliant and I like about 95% of his work. Henry focused too much on cars, bikes and tractors although I like what he does with things like old signs, petrol cans, etc. . Would love to see some old sofas and old chairs reupholstered and brought back to how they were originally. If I wanted wood painted in awful colours I would go to ~Ikea. I also cannot believe what they say they sell the items for. Most of them I wouldn't pay a fraction of the cost on.
I have just watched the recording of series 2 episode 16. The Harley barrels bedside lamps are the best lamps I have ever seen. If i saw them in a shop i would buy them. The military chest came out perfect too. Not sure about the lime green metal cabinet though. I love watching the shows as I have recycled a couple of items. I hope there are many more series to come. I didn't like the mirror though. Your required characters s a lot at 600. Don't
know what else to write. Why do you have to have the voice over and 'coming up' at the break. Don't need to watch to the end of the programme as you have shown the outcomes! Regards Marilyn.
These guys turn up some quirky and interesting items for upcycling.
Their ideas are often very good, and similarly the results, but there's no way in 21st century UK that those results could be seriously achieved at their declared costs.
The outlays they claim to have spent are just plain ridiculous, and that sadly undermines that whole idea of the programme.
The achievements remain worthwhile even if the format is badly flawed.
This started off as a really good, entertaining program but over time, most of the "fixes" seem to end up as either lamps or tables. It is still entertaining to watch with very likeable presenters but it's got quite predictable and tiresome.
