The definitive UK edition of Queer Eye, based on the hit USA series, in which five style savants bestow make-overs on hapless men. The twist is that the Fab Five are gay, as well as knowing all there is to know about their chosen fields of food and drink, grooming, culture, interior design and fashion. The format, devised by New York producers David Metzler and David Collins, has been successfully exported to Britain, Australia and Sweden to date.
The UK Fab Five of Tristan Eves (grooming); Peyton (food & drink); Jason Gardiner (culture); Dane Bailey (interior design) and Julian Bennett (style) were backed up by an exceptionally strong and friendly research team, who worked the longest of hours on a no-frills budget to make it all happen. Nevertheless, it was one of the highest budgets ever issued by Living in the channel's ten year history, despite being a third of the size of that of the US series.
