General Purpose’s THE FIX Nominated

By September 25, 2009 Press No Comments

The Fix (26×30) produced by General Purpose Pictures has been nominated for The 24th Annual Gemini Awards in the category of Best Hosts in a Lifestyle/ Practical Information Series.

The Fix is Candid Camera meets Face Lift in this reno-ridiculous half hour of crapmanship. Each week, irreverent and infectiously funny Brit contractors Neil Davies (Real Reno’s) and Jay Purvis (Kitchen Equipped) prey on hapless homeowners who think they’re getting a fabulous and free TV makeover, only to be “fixed” with some of the most absurd reno and decor ideas ever imagined.

The Fix is a chance for these two talented craftsmen to ditch their measuring tapes and have some fun at their client’s expense, showing us just how bad a reno can go, with priceless results. We watch the entire process as Neil & Jay meet the homeowners, gain their trust, listen to their hopes and dreams for the ultimate TV makeover, and deliver their worst nightmare! As the homeowners are ushered into the “Fake” space, they voice their disgust with the absurd transformation, while our tireless pranksters keep happy-faced and proud of their abomination as long as possible, defending their “wonderful” work, until finally the homeowner is let off the hook – It’s a fix!

After all is forgiven, Neil & Jay transform the ghastly gag into the stunning space they were hoping for.
