Dick & Angel are back with their new show Make Do and Mend

The show will see the Strawbridges offering tips and tricks for families looking for imaginative ways to solve their DIY dilemmas using what they have to hand.

Over the last four years, Channel 4 viewers have seen Dick & Angel turn their dream of owning a chateau in France into a reality, using their own handiwork and design skills to make their property a one-of-a-kind home. Now, with millions of us spending more time at home, the Strawbridge family will be on hand to help solve the nation’s make-do and mend dilemmas with clear “how to” advice, plus their own inspirational tips and tricks.

The series will be filmed entirely by the Strawbridge family at the chateau. There they will communicate online with families from across the UK looking for practical advice and bespoke solutions for a home project of their own. Dick & Angel and their children will also be tackling their own “dream” projects and trying out new pastimes to keep their family entertained.

Dick and Angel Strawbridge say: “It’s humbling that our audience wants to see more of us and our adventures. Between the pair of us we have nearly a century’s worth of “make do and mend” experience and so we are really excited to be making this brand-new series.  Capturing our life at the Chateau has grown out of a fantastic creative relationship with Lizi Wootton, who we have worked with for over 4 years. It’s fantastic to be partnering with such an experienced and dynamic team.”

Alan Clements, Managing Director, Two Rivers, says: “This collaboration is a major move for us as a growing, ambitious indie. Dick and Angel are highly respected presenters and we are very excited to be working with them. Two Rivers’ ambition is to make programming which is creatively exciting and commercially successful. Dick and Angel’s Make, Do & Mend (w/t) is the first step in what we hope will be a long and successful relationship with Dick and Angel. We are already in advanced discussions about other projects beyond this initial commission.”

Channel 4, Deputy Head of Features and Formats Sean Doyle adds: “We are delighted that Dick and Angel will be sharing their homemade handiwork with the nation at a time when many of us are taking the opportunity to make fixes around the house and embark on those creative projects we’ve always wanted to do. In these unprecedented times, they will bring great joy, warmth and know how into the sitting rooms, sheds, attics and cupboards across the country.”
