Last series was too green for me. Have seen reruns of the earlier series on More 4 where Kev still has hair. Much more interesting.
Good to see his co did their sums and will definitely be on budget and be in by xmas.

the episode as few weeks ago was quite amusing too.
Fella in a wheel chair building a house to suit his disability, his missus (who was clearly out of his league) was managing the build for him, they split up halfway through (think she took a liking the builder)

Grand Designs: House of the Year longlist in pictures - Telegraph
A lot of them seem to have massive amounts of floor to ceiling glass windows which must be freezing on dark winter days. They also seem to have nothing in the houses apart from a leather sofa and a dining table.
