We’ve had such a laugh in the studio! MrFix often gets calls from TV programmes: usually it’s for boring infomercials but every now and then we join a fun show: last year for example The Great Garden Makeover (in Dutch, sorry) as well as Mattie from radio station Q-Music, who we helped make over a house completely in ochre yellow 🙂
Our plumber Lorenzo even achieved national fame with two series of Mini-home-makeovers. Viewers went wild with his looks and swooned massively (close to 100,000 likes on Facebook) over how his biceps peeped out from under his MrFix shirt (see for example at 1 minute 53 sec in the 1st episode).
But this time we have participated in the most fun programme. This Spring the producer of candid camera show Wie het laatst lacht… (He who laughs last) called us with a stunt we could not say no to. Together we pulled a prank on expert Ismail. We’ve just seen the result at the recording in the TV studio and we laughed our heads off…
So we asked Ismail to replace a radiator. Now Ismail is actually a good wallpaperer & painter, but our excuse was that the Customer was particularly important. We made up that the Customer was the biggest investor in MrFix. Actually Ismail has invested in MrFix with eight other experts and knows that ten angel investors had already invested in MrFix in previous years.
Now Issy said that it would be better to ask for a full-blooded plumber, and rightly so. In fact we had asked plumber Bert (second from the left on this picture: Ismail is on the far left) but Bert just had no time for the job. So we told Ismail that we needed him anyway because of his people skills and his excellent Customer care. Well, Issy needed those badly because he was in for a big surprise … see how it turns out on Saturday evening 14 November at 8.25pm on SBS6!
