Popular Kiwi home improvement show lands in Canada

The Ultimate Do Up, the newest home improvement show to hit HGTV Canada, has been scheduled for its Canadian premiere in April 2005. Do Up, which peaked at a 33 share for women 18-49 during its run in New Zealand, takes one family and watches as they transform each room in their home from design to completion in just ten weeks, all the while trying to survive living in an on-site trailer.
In addition to HGTV Canada purchasing the broadcast rights to the series from Lone Eagle Distribution, the network received an option on the format allowing it to produce a domestic Canadian version.
