DIY SOS The Big Build

I blamed it on the onions (even though we didn't have any!)
Nick Knowles does get the balance spot on with these shows.
I have been really down in the dumps recently but seeing this really made of appreciate what I have in my life. Lovely family hope he does ok. Those goalie gloves meant a lot to him didn't they.

It's now the UK version of Extreme Makeover Home Edition but I have to say I enjoy it.
Very humbling in places and nice to see local communities getting together and helping out - Makes you proud to be British... Extreme Makeover is very good but just seems to be used as advertising these days for all the brands that have chipped in (normally Sears)

I enjoy watching this too, exactly the sort of things the BBC should be spending our licence fee dosh on instead of boring period dramas. Taking someone's life and making it a huge amount better. Similar to bex above I was feeling fed up but watching something like DIY SOS The Big Build puts things in perspective a bit - there is always someone worse off than yourself.
I also appeared to have something in my eye at the end of the most recent (Dumfries) one. Strange.
