What’s the story?
Style Fixers.
I’ll need more information.
Style Fixers – which aired as a pilot on the BBC Scotland channel last year – has now been commissioned as a six-part series.
It charts the adventures of an intrepid and energetic duo who love rummaging in second-hand shops to unearth style gems.
According to the blurb: “They live for repurposing and upcycling, turning the drab and dated into fabulous and on fleek.”
The elevator pitch?
A fun fashion version of Bargain Hunt meets Money For Nothing. With drag queen sass. And a keen magpie eye.
Describe the format?
By day, best friends Alannah Carson and Jamie Grandison are make-up artists. By night, they rustle up glam costumes for drag shows where Grandison is the star act.
The TV series sees the pair go head-to-head (“we thrive on drama … and competition”) as they share styling tips with viewers and show off their skills.
Anything else?
With a £30 budget to fund their thrifty finds and using some innovative upcycling (hot glue guns are go!), their goal is to prove that you don’t need oodles of cash to create a chic and confident look.

Each week, their clients will help decide who has done the best job and declare a winner.
When can I watch?
Style Fixers begins on BBC Scotland, Monday, 11pm.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
