The old [[The Generation Game|Generation Game]]-style "watch an expert and repeat what they do" shenanigans, re-versioned for a lifestyle-oriented daytime audience (i.e. not as much fun). Being ''that'' sort of show, it majored on DIY and craft skills like flower arranging, upholstering a chair, tiling a bathroom wall, fixing a flatpack, transforming a bookshelf, waxing legs, sanding doors and brushing pets' teeth.
