THERE'S a good few chapters in Lynne Barrett-Lee's latest novel, One Day Someday, dedicated to her main protagonist's experiences on an imaginary TV home makeover show called Roomaround.

Apart from watching her lover engage in some rather heavy petting with one of the show's designers, the character in question - Lu Fisher - also agrees to turning her sister's bedroom into a nightmare of pretentious modern art and garish colours, reminiscent of many a horrific vision featured on Roomaround's real-life counterpart Changing Rooms.
