- Date: 6th May 2004
- Summary: From the makers of the award-winning Wife Swap comes a new three-part series that takes a radical approach to couples counselling. Each week two women leave their homes and their men, and two gay fashion and lifestyle experts move in. Their mission is to convert the useless men-folk into stylish domestic gods. In essence, to make them just a little bit... gay. Each week, two long-suffering women put their men up for a lifestyle overhaul, as stylists Colin Woolfendon and Nick Bagrie take them under their wing to re-educate them in the ways of the metrosexual man. The men's lives are taken over for a week as the wives move out; Colin and Nick move in - and everyone's world is turned upside down. From dress sense to health and grooming, interior design to haute cuisine, and intimacy to seduction, Colin and Nick open their straight subjects' eyes as well as their wardrobes, as they reach out to their feminine sides and teach them to appreciate their other halves. How will Colin and Nick cope with their no-nonsense subjects, more used to footie and the pub than shopping and romance? Can they transform the Neanderthal men into the loving and stylish new men that their partners could previously only dream of? And how will the men adapt to this radical approach to masculinity? Will they return to their women sensitive and stylish visions of their former selves... and change their ways forever? In the first week, Nick and Colin work their magic on traditional Yorkshiremen Chris and Mike; in the second week on Bolton's Dale and Sean; and finally on Simon and Jed from Harrogate.
- Description:Two straight men swap their wives for a gay 'boyfriend' who,for the next three days will make them over. But can you really teach an old dog new tricks?
