This Wednesday on BBC Two, “The Great House Revival,” presented by Hugh Wallace, tackles a restoration project fueled by childhood memories and familial love. Paul has bought back the home where he grew up, a house steeped in sentimentality, especially for his mother. But this isn’t a simple fixer-upper. The building is practically crumbling, plagued by dry rot, a leaky roof, and rotten beams.
Undeterred, Paul has taken on the monumental task of single-handedly bringing the house back to life. It’s a David-and-Goliath struggle against time, structural damage, and the sheer scale of the undertaking. “The Great House Revival” chronicles Paul’s journey as he battles to save not just a building, but a piece of his family’s history. The house, a repository of shared experiences and emotional connections, represents more than bricks and mortar; it’s a tangible link to the past.
Will Paul’s determination and DIY skills be enough to overcome the overwhelming challenges? Find out Wednesday, 28 May at 7:00 PM BST on BBC Two.
