TOOL CLUB: CHANNEL 4 ANNOUNCE PILOT FOR NEW DAYTIME SERIES

The hour-long pilot, Tool Club, was commissioned through the joint funding partnership between Screen Scotland and Channel 4 announced last year.

Tool Club is a celebration of the do it yourself attitude and host Michael Underwood will lead a team of creative DIY experts including Jessica Grizzle (all round DIY expert), Julia Miller-Osborn(DIY Dynamo) and Max McMurdo (Designer and Upcycler) who will tackle a range of DIY disasters. From an ambitious community build to a garden makeover, small household repairs and furniture upcycling, each project will be a handy guide for viewers at home who want to get stuck in themselves.

A mobile DIY roadshow, the Tool Bus will be a drop-in base for members of the local community to walk in with their DIY-woes. With no job too big or too small, The Tool Bus will be a base for the team to demonstrate and teach some simple skills that can transform DIY disasters into something to be proud of.

Alasdair MacCuish said ‘The opportunity to bring Tool Club to the C4 Daytime audience is something we are very excited about. The show couldn’t be more timely, and having the support of both the Channel and Screen Scotland has been tremendous during these challenging times’.
