Presenter Nick and his team of heroes put real into reality show

From Love Island and Married at First Sight and from Made in Chelsea to The Only Way is Essex, reality TV shows make me want to scream louder than an Islander who finds a locust in their cocktail.

- 

Add to the list Strictly, I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here and Big Brother, all are vanity, veneer, vacuity and a virulent desire for fame/more fame.

Whether it's Maya Jama, Claud and Tess or Ant and Dec, the presenters are interested only in themselves, their egos bigger than a house.

The antithesis of all that - putting the real into reality show-is DIY SOS. The rebuild-a-home-in-days show has muck, mess heart and soul.

The opener to the 34th series of DIY SOS - Independence for Isla - had everything. Laughter - a shower than speaks French - tears, struggle, determination and victory. It was gritty, grimy, tough and soft in the middle.

The premise of DIY SOS is that a team of builders arrive at a house somewhere in the UK on a rescue mission-to transform the premises and make them fit purpose.

Isla was born with a rare genetic disorder, mandibuloacral dysplasia, which makes her bones brittle and causes her major organs to age prematurely.
