I'm sorry. I can think of nothing more stupid than letting people into your house to rush several DIY jobs in 60 minutes. There is no way it's going to be quality workmanship.

I'm suprised nobody has crossed done a send up of this and crossed it with 24
Claire Sweeney unable to get to the kitchen because of cougars Deliveries held up by terrorists
They really haven't got the tension 24 has

That would be a fantastic show!
My chief gripe with 60 Minute Makeover is that initially I assumed it would be a live show, and there'd be quite a nice sense of against-the-clockness bubbling away in the background, and a nice unpredictability about it. But then I saw in the Radio Times that it was only an hour-long show, so in order to give Claire Sweeney time to bibble on and to allow everyone to salivate over the finished product, you don't see the full sixty minutes. And then I saw the actual show with all the "tea break" gubbins. Who gets a tea break after working less than an hour? Sloths.
NB. Jonny, you forgot to mention the point where the writers run out of ideas twenty minutes before the finale, so they give one of the carpenters amnesia for ten minutes until he's actually needed in a scene again, at which point he makes a miraculous recovery.

60 Minute Makeover is tosh. Claire Sweeney is also seriously running low on her repertoire of Smiley Faces that she uses. Someone can only be interesting for so long if they do is smile.
Also, if you had 500 bloody workmen in your house with everything pre-prepared and lined up on your front garden, you'd expect them to be able to paint one room and fit a new oven in 60 minutes as well.
Also, the 24 crossover could do nicely with Claire Sweeney getting kidnapped rather early on.
