EndedReality showDIY

We really are a nation of DIY addicts.

Unfortunately however just because we have the best tools and all the right gear doesn't necessarily mean we have the skills.

In fact as this series shows – millions of us are totally useless at DIY. And to prove it a lot of disastrous DIYers have kindly filmed their less than perfect handiwork.

So we're going to delve into the tool box of misfortune and incompetence and visit the homes of DIY disasters up and down the country. This really is the show where anything that can go wrong, does go wrong.
