TV: How Clean is Your House?

Show premise

Kim and Aggie, the BBC's latest hot duo, invade the homes of people who can't, won't or simply don't care about cleaning. They criss-cross the UK providing handy tips for how to keep you house clean and tidy, and the British public gets to indulge their voyeuristic tendencies.


Beginning Snippet

VOICE OVER

This week the dust-busting duo are off to Brighton to visit the flat of Tom and Tom. The flatmates live within walking distance of the pier and the restaurants on the promenade, of which they make good use.


From the outside these friends are sociable party goers whose love for food is evident. But what about their kitchen?


AGGIE

Kim, Kim, come quick.


[KIM bounces into the kitchen.]


KIM

What is going on here?


AGGIE

I've never seen anything like this.


[AGGIE runs her finger across the surface and holds it up the the camera. Look at this, look... it's clean]


Middle Snippet

KIM

Oi, you, get in here.


TOM 1

Yes.


KIM

What is this? What is the idea of this?


TOM 1

I know, it's bad. I just let it slip for a couple of days, and then it just seemed insurmountable.

[Starts to tear up.]


TOM 2

Oh, now don't be so silly. They're here to help. Come on now.


TOM 1

[Sniffle and mumble.]


KIM

But... but... there isn't anything for us to do.


End Snippet


[KIM, AGGIE, TOM 1 and TOM 2 are in the bedroom]


AGGIE

Well, we have the lab tests back. And it's good news. The air in your house is pure. And I mean that. Nothing bad in it whatsoever.


KIM

What about the swabs you took, Aggie?


AGGIE

Nothing. Not one single bacteria.


KIM

So neither of you will need to worry about bugs and things when you entertain your lady friends.


[TOM 1 and TOM 2 look at each other.]

These really are great Mark,

I was busy last week, so only just had chance to read it, but it makes great reading.

Though I'm not sure Drew and my kitchen would pass the same test.

I'm completely crazy about Kim. It's the hair, I suppose...
