Scrapmates

A fresh and exciting home improvement show based on the principle that one person's rubbish is another's pot of gold. Presenter Sarah Cawood joins forces with designer Janette Swift in a mission to eradicate dingy and dull interiors. Each week Janette and a team of flatmates search through charity shops, skips, scrapyards and markets for junk they can transform. The flatmates are also the renovators, so they paint, paste and polish the rubbish they find into unique and practical furnishings. Each team has only £50 to complete the transformation, so the emphasis is on imagination and innovation.
