I could only manage 5 minutes of it and found it extremely boring. I just feel TV has moved on and the retro presentation with roving camera etc. was incredibly dated.

Yes this was one of the problems for me. I watched a couple of the original series a while back out of curiosity (I loved it at the time, though was about 14) and they are very old fashioned. TV has moved on and although the Channel 5 remake has been updated in some ways it still just feels a bit unexciting.

Problem is in the meantime there's been upteen series of DIY SOS which is essentially the same thing. These programmes always remind me of the sketch Mitchell and Webb did about pointless arbitrary time frames in DIY shows
