Title: Your Place or Mine
Director: Alan Hayling and Victoria Watson
Year: 2009
Production company: Renegade Pictures
Renegade Pictures is to apply its Don’t Tell The Bride format to interior decoration in a 6 x 60-minute series for BBC3.
Each episode of Your Place or Mine will follow a couple who own a home but don’t have enough money to improve it. They will be forced to live apart for 10 days while one of the pair is given the money to redecorate - without consulting their partner.
Creative director Jon Rowlands, who developed the show, said: “It’s about relationships, taste, gender differences and trying to be as good as you possibly can be for your other half.
“Both Don’t Tell the Bride and Your Place or Mine came out of real life. If blokes want to do something to their house that they think is really good, whatever they do, it will not be quite right. They will think they have painted the bathroom in exactly the same shade of white - but it will turn out that they have used matt paint when they should have used eggshell.”
