Catherine Gee is painful to watch. She’s practically catatonic and seems to be forcing herself to talk. The carpets are awful, usually dreadful stripes . I realize the rooms are minutely tiny but WHY does every room have a door !? Bedrooms need them but the kitchen ? The living room ? Take the doors off and make the room look bigger. And so much furniture in these tiny rooms! I realize we Americans are spoiled for room but a 10’x10’ living room doesn’t need a huge leather couch and chair and three tables. I guess this was before wall mount TVs were available . It’s all rather sad . And all the running up and down stairs getting in the workers way. I am amazed it gets done at all . But do considère removing useless doors and putting down better carpet.

Get rid of the presenters they are not need, when l see programmes with a presenter don't watch it,especially Catherine Gee she is not needed. Love most of the designers love the shows... Please no more presenters

This is a pure and utter waste of money should be given to the needy not the greedy it’s always people who are to lazy to do it they have good income jobs bought houses what about doing it for the genuine people who cannot do it for themselves shame on you all

We recently watched an episode where every room had wallpaper. Oversized floral in the parents bedroom, psychedelic in the kids bedroom and stripes in the narrow living. The rooms where painted black. The before photos looked bright and airy so there was potential to get the perfect finished result... Horrible! Misplaced furniture. TV at opposite ends of armchair whilst the 2 seater at the other end. The rooms looked depressing and dingy. Black curtains on black walls. Kids room lacked any character. What where the designers thinking of? You can still deliver amazing results on a budget. Come on!

Most of the houses are hideous and should just be set on fire. . By the time the team finish with them they are usually more hideous! Great comedy and what's with the stick insect presenting the show ???!!

I am amazed by this show. It is so funny to me that people in England think that horrible wallpaper and bad painting and bad carpet constitutes a show. If you tried this nonsense in Australia you would have your throat ripped out people do not want feature wall wallpaper (so 1980's) cover up floor boards in Australia you would be shot at dawn and bad workmanship my god you would be fired. I find it hysterical that people in England let their homes be ruined by out of work actors. HYSTERICAL

I like the idea of the programme but paint takes longer than 60 minutes to dry. Where does all the dust go? The camera often reveals poor workmanship and how can good work be done with so many people crammed into the room being decorated? Is it fair to leave owners to finish, or patch up jobs because the time ran out? As I look now, there are about 7 people in the room and the designer is timing them. The new window curtains are about 2 feet too long. The surplus is tucked out of sight. The presenter pleasant but I hate that whistle. Whatever the state of the room there is always time for last minute touches to distract the eye.

Just don't watch it. The presenter is awful, the idiots that do the design have no taste, it's badly acted, it's tacky, it isn't done in 60 minutes, I hate it.

I watched the 60 min makeover many times - as there is not much on TV at this time on my day off. I am HONESTLY DISGUIST WITH THEIR PRESENTERS - I am pretty sure they were instructed to try to be sexy to increse the viewing but it only Put me off watching it - it is all quite tacky. I uderstend this should be rather a family program or aimed on renovating the family homes as a well deserved surprise for the family member who very often have been ill or sufferd some loss. That is why I can't understand why the blondy squeaky presenter wears the see trough blouse with low decolte so half of her breast are poping out while she speaks to the widower who has lost his wife recently?! She also spreads her legs as wide as possible when lays down to try the bad. On todays program the another presenter was wearing the light blue jumper where the niples of her plastic breast were clearly visable and at one point they were in full screan (I guess a special from camera man). If it is not sad would be funny!!! Ah yes and some more example of this rubish program presenting - by their woman designer (sorry no name) she also makes sure to spread the legs wide in front of camera! What sorts of entertainment they offer to me as a woman?! I feel sorry for the people who ask for teir services. I would never invite them in my house nor would I like to see them in front of my house on the way back home!

The "designers" are woeful at best. The work done to people's homes is so half-baked: painting ON TOP of old crappy wallpaper, putting up garish wallpaper (badly - there are always bubbles visible even on camera??), overloading cramped rooms with tacky accessories and just generally doing a big, massive design vomit behind each door. The walls will be peeling as soon as the crew leave, and then the homeowner will be forced to fix up the poor workmanship with money they probably don't have for a decor they probably don't want. I watch it purely to see the diplomacy of the homeowners (henceforth known as "victims") who claim to say that things are "beautiful" just because they are so shellshocked and are going to be on the telly. I wish just one victim would say what they are really thinking...

Catherine gee is so painfully thin it's shocking, she is not a good role model for young women. I actually like the show and would have given it a higher rating if it were not for the visually shocking presenter. Please sort her out or just get rid of her!!!

When I manage to het home early I am faced with 60 minute makeover, a programme I usually enjoy. I am forced to switch over because I cannot bare Cathering Gee! She is the most insincere, patronizing, insensitive presenter ever! Please get rid of her!

When this programme relied on just a Voiceover or the designers explaining their choices direct to camera, I was really surprised at how the pace of the show was dragged down. I really don't understand why so many people here have the knives out for Catherine Gee. Her size aside (it isn't really relevant), I find her polite, warm and honest. I don't remember the recipients of the makeovers being courteously escorted from their vehicles by the presenter in previous incarnations, and it's nice to hear someone with a decent vocabulary who doesn't gush over everyone. My only gripe with the programme is the tedious "begging" video at the beginning where the relatives and friends ask for the makeover. It's so bad it's embarrassing. Does everybody " always put others first and never think of themselves" and/or have to have a story of misery, tragedy or illness to deserve it? It casts a pall of icky, and almost false, sentimentality across what is supposed to be simply a feel good programme, which is why I have slightly marked it down. I get so many ideas and find out about so many great stockists and suppliers from watching this. Now all I need is more than two pennies to rub together.......

I love the programme but am distracted throughout by mentally criticising Catherine Gee's attire. Ok, she's too slim (maybe anorexic, poor girl) but does she have to wear white tops under other tops on nearly every show. Would love to see her in full skirts or feminine dresses - not the skinny jeans and layered tops she wears to death - better still, would love NOT to see her at all. I agree with other reviewers - she lacks what it takes for this kind of show. Bring back the designers - they did a good presenting job before.

The basis of the programme is sound but why can't the reearchers find more deserving recipients of this free makeover? I would like to see people who really can't do any work on their house because they are in physically unable rather than families who can't be bothered. Whilst I like Catherine Gee, the presenter, I do wish that she showed more consideration when trashing the lucky recipients existing furniture and decoration. There are many people out there who can't afford expensive furniture and interior designers to fit out their houses and usually the furniture they throw out looks as though it is still servicable. All too often the finished makeover is totally impractical; storage space has been significantly reduced, comfortable sofas replaced with hard chairs, family dining tables replaced with tables barely big enough for two people for example. I realise they want to make a style programme but they lose credibility when they don't think practically. Come on 60MM ..get real!!
