5. Ugly house to lovely house with George Clarke

George Clarke matches some of Britain's most unloved houses with some of the country's leading architects, who join cutting-edge conception to a tight budget, proving that great design doesn't have to cost the earth.

The World's Most Extraordinary Homes is a British documentary miniseries presented by Caroline Quentin and Piers Taylor and is broadcast on BBC Two.

The documentary miniseries follows award-winning architect Piers Taylor and actress and property developer Caroline Quentin, who explore a range of architect-designed houses in both extreme locations around the world and around various countries.

The first series focused on houses built in challenging surroundings, and how they were designed to respond to these environments, whether built into the side of a cliff, nestled in a forest, perched at the top of a mountain, or hidden under the earth. The second series focused on one country per episode and traveled to different destinations in each nation.

Each episode is themed and named according to the houses' environments or locations. To explore how the designs function both as works of architecture and as real houses, the hosts stay overnight, eat meals, and spend time in the homes."



7. Building Dream Homes

Building Dream Homes This 15-part series follows some of the nation's architects leading the way in groundbreaking design, as they battle with builders, blueprints, and the clients who hire them, all in the name of making dream properties become a reality. From complex million-pound residential projects to loft conversions and kitchen extensions, this series is on the ground from design to handover as the diggers arrive, the roof goes on, the cantilevered staircase is fitted, and the client walks through the door, with big reveals in every episode. The show crosses the country, picking out some of the most exciting and innovative residential builds happening at the moment and showing first-hand the drama, headaches, and hard work it takes to design and build them. We see the highs and lows that come with taking on such ambitious projects as our architects take on everything from tricky clients to hurricane-force winds. Budget plays a part in every story, so viewers gain an insight into how much builds cost and what can be achieved.
