This Old House
PBS repair series
This Old House is a long-running American television series about home renovation and repair, first broadcast in 1979.
The show follows contractors and tradespeople as they transform houses, explaining techniques along the way.
It pioneered the home improvement genre and remains a reference point for DIY culture: I learned to install a ceiling fan from watching This Old House.
