I’m so excited to see the return of Changing Rooms tonight on Channel 4. I used to love watching the show in the ‘90s with my mum when I lived at home. I remember doing some very dodgy stencilling in my mum’s front room after being inspired by a makeover!

Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen will in it so there should be some extreme makeovers. Will anyone else be watching?

Imagine going into your bedroom and theirs a wall of hair 🥳🥳😖😖

the80sweregreat · 18/08/2021 21:30

Who would want blond hair on a wall ?
Who?
Nobody I know that's for sure.

Meredusoleil · 18/08/2021 21:31

Omg wtaf was that wall of hair?!?

And the chains made of clay? My dd aged 9 could do a better job of them, but just why?

Plus the other blue wall looked exactly like a garage door ffs.

I quite liked the peacock theme idea of LLB, but I do find he comes across as quite arrogant tbh.

The swing seat was just so impractical, despite looking OK.

Plus what happened to hiding the TV in the wall unit and the fireplace matching the floor - or whatever nonsense he was spouting earlier on in the episode???

His face on the door was juts creepy though 😐

This has to be a piss take surely. If anyone hasn’t seen the Adam and Joe sketch Room For Change please watch it on YouTube.

vodkaredbullgirl · 18/08/2021 21:43

Just as wacky, as when they did in the 90s.

Standrewsschool · 18/08/2021 21:49

I’d forgotten how good LLB was at painting.

Cecillie · 18/08/2021 21:57

Feel soothed now, just watched George Clarke

WouldBeGood · 18/08/2021 21:58

Very disappointed

the80sweregreat · 18/08/2021 21:59

LLB was on a painting programme once doing portraits and he was fabulous.

Velcropaws · 18/08/2021 22:08

Thank heavens for the sense and solidity of George Smile

TheGirlInTheGreenDress · 18/08/2021 22:11

Agree with PPs, really disappointing and it missed the mark. Won’t be tuning in again!

Meredusoleil · 18/08/2021 22:14

Did anyone else notice that one of the designers of the Shantay Swansea room was wearing the exact same colours of the walls? Pink and dark blue!

GCrebel · 18/08/2021 22:18

Completely agree with everyone else. What a pile of embarrassing shite.

Hated the drag names, chains & hair too. They must really hate women.

I thought that was a joke tbh

Just watched it 😂😂😂 Was the owner real or an actor? He didn't bat an eyelid at their annihilation of his period room!
justinhawkinsnavalfluff · 18/08/2021 23:38

Jeez that was awful and why did that designer appear to spend most of the show in blue and white polka dot pyjamas!

Bryonyshcmyony · 18/08/2021 23:39

Do you think they'll add Sex Dungeon Chic to every suburban lounge they do?

SpindleWhorl · 18/08/2021 23:41

@NannyAndJohn

Turned off after the drag mention. Every bloody thing has to be woke these days.
Ditto.

Fucking tedious shite.

PrincessScarlett · 18/08/2021 23:42

Watched 15 minutes hoping to rekindle some fond distant memory from my childhood. Only to find LLB still wearing the same thing he wore 20 years ago (and not in a good way) and up to his usual tricks of being told the home owner hates pink and then producing pink. I really miss Anna Ryder Richardson, Handy Andy and the other female designer whose name escapes me. It does feel like the LLB show but I think it highlights that it never was the LLB show as the other original team are missed.

WeAreTheHeroes · 18/08/2021 23:46

Linda Barker? There was an Oliver somebody who was in some of the later series.

WeAreTheHeroes · 18/08/2021 23:47

Different programme, but whatever happened to Justin and Colin the Scottish couple who were designers/developers,?

PrincessScarlett · 18/08/2021 23:53

@WeAreTheHeroes yes, Linda Barker! And Oliver. Thank you.

ShitShop · 19/08/2021 00:07

I thought Lawrence was hilarious with his “up and over garage door” reference Grin and I was also strangely distracted by his leather trousers, which he appeared to ‘fill’ quite well BlushGrin

Is it wrong that I now want parquet flooring going up my wall?

Re the fireplace/floor/wall combo - he used the TV as a fireplace by putting a ‘living fire’ video on!

Aquarius1234 · 19/08/2021 00:13

Graham Wynne I preferred over LLB
No idea why the original gang were not all asked back. Why just LLB,?
Knew it would be crap as soon as they wanted a different presenter and only him

Aquarius1234 · 19/08/2021 00:14

Just googled all the original gang yikes a long time ago.
