A new TV Program ‘Ty’s Street Army’ is to perform an Extreme Make Over to Sunnyvale Road Playground. In conjunction with Twofour, the presenter Ty Pennington, will transform the playground with the help of the local community into a space the village can be proud of. Further details below.

14th to 20th May 2008

TwoFour, www.twofour.co.uk was founded 20 years ago and has grown to become one of the largest independent media groups in the UK employing over 250 people. With headquarters in Plymouth and offices in London the company comprises Twofour Broadcast - known for its cutting edge factual entertainment and lifestyle programming (current productions include Are You Smarter Than A Ten Year Old? for Sky, The Hotel Inspector for Five, Open Gardens for BBC, Exposed for Living. We are committed to making contemporary relevant and innovative programming.

We are currently working on a new series for UKTV (a branch channel of the BBC). The programme ‘Ty’s Street Army’ featuring Ty Pennington (Extreme Makeover Home Edition USA) is a broadcast, week long event for UKTV Style.

In Ty’s Street Army, Ty arrives in a British town to mobilise the local community and help them restore a local eyesore to its former glory, in just one week! This programme focuses on Portreath, specifically the park area.

The challenge will take place over an eight-day period commencing Monday 12th May 2008 - obliging the team to work against the clock and through the night. Due to these time constraints we are under a certain amount of pressure to move things along quite swiftly so enabling us to really make this happen!

We want everyone to get involved and help out in anyway they think they can, whether it's donating materials, labour, food for workers, transport for people and goods or if they just want to come and meet Ty. We also want to suggest that if anyone, buisness or organisation wants Ty to do something for them in return for any donations to the project they should get in touch with us ASAP.
