Hosted by TV and radio presenter Derek "Pluto" Murray, alongside main judge musician Iain “Spanish” MacKay – a skilled joiner by trade - the Gaelic duo ensure there will be plenty of laughs along the way.
The presenter said: “Get ready for the ultimate test of creativity, ingenuity, and skill with our new DIY competition, pitching challenges with the twist of “instructions not included” - as if flat pack furniture building wasn’t stressful enough!
"Although the competitors lack in instructions, they excel in enthusiasm and craic.”
Judge Iain “Spanish” MacKay added: “It’s a celebration of the country’s DIY culture - whether an amateur enthusiast or someone who has had to pick up a hammer out of necessity, Dùbhlain DIY will give the viewers something they can relate to, even if it’s just seeing the sheer frustration of attempting even the most basic of DIY tasks.
"While offering feel-good escapism, we hope it’ll inspire those at home to get out there and start a new project of their own.”
The show will premier on BBC ALBA and BBC iPlayer on Monday, May 6 at 8.30pm.
