Homefront was an interior design "makeover" TV show airing on the BBC, on par with American television's This Old House and Martha Stewart. The programme appeared in two formats. The original format was a half-hour show hosted by Tessa Shaw, which ran c.1992-1997 and featured numerous different designers giving advice on DIY projects. The second was an hour-long makeover show presented by Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen and Diarmuid Gavin. The seasons 1996-2000 were hosted by Anne McKevitt. This version originally aired concurrently with the original format as a spin-off titled Homefront Inside Out, but took on the title of the parent programme when the original format was axed. A variant titled Homefront in the Garden also aired, hosted by Shaw and featuring Diarmuid Gavin and Kevin McCloud.
