I can see it now. In a nightmare the next programme shows them finding a mirror-lid TV, chucking the innards and fitting an illuminated mini-fridge on gas struts to pop up through the hole where the CRT once resided. A cabinet for drinky-poos for the terminally trendy. Painting it purple would have been OK on 'Changing Rooms' but is so last century, it'll have to be distressed, bleached and waxed to a driftwood finish. In three month's time it'll be off the bleeding edge of fashion and turfed out on the kerbside.

I'm still waiting for them to cut up a real type 35 Bugatti to turn it into a trendy bed.
