George Clarke is back, swapping grand designs for deeply personal builds in his new series, Building Home. The premiere introduces Chris and Ellie, embarking on what they initially envisioned as a renovation project in Lancashire’s Ribble Valley, Chris’s childhood stomping ground.

However, as these things often go, the project quickly spiralled into a full-blown new build. Cue the inevitable construction woes: weather delays, unexpected costs, and that one contractor who just… doesn’t get it.

But this isn’t your average property show. A shadow hangs over the build: Chris’s stage four cancer diagnosis. Suddenly, the dream home takes on a new urgency, a race against time to create a haven, a sanctuary, a place of comfort and joy.

Building Home looks to be less about bricks and mortar, and more about the heart and soul poured into creating a space that truly matters. Expect construction challenges, yes, but also a heavy dose of emotional resonance.

George Clarke’s Building Home airs Wednesday, February 5, 2025, on Channel 4.
